The Nintendo GameCube, approaching its 25th anniversary, continues to captivate a dedicated fanbase eager to acquire its rarest editions. Among the most sought-after are the Panasonic Q, notable for its DVD playback capability, and unique variants like the Mobile Suit Gundam Char Red console. However, the crown jewel of rarity is the 'Space World' GameCube, a prototype unveiled at the Nintendo Space World 2000 event. Believed to be lost, this LED-equipped prototype made a surprising reappearance in 2023, discovered by Donny Fillerup at ConsoleVariations.
The Space World GameCube stands out from the retail version in several ways. Notably, it lacks functional hardware, featuring only LEDs to simulate operation. Physically, it sports a semi-transparent black logo at the top, allowing visibility of any inserted disc, and modified vents. According to ConsoleVariations, there are over 20 differences between this prototype and the original Japanese GameCube.
Now, Donny Fillerup has listed this Space World 2000 GameCube on eBay with an astonishing asking price of $100,000. Fillerup's goal is to use the proceeds to fund a gaming venue where visitors can relive their youth. Interestingly, the console is being sold without its unique controller, which differs significantly from the standard GameCube controller.
Fillerup is no stranger to dealing in rare gaming hardware. In 2022, he auctioned off a Golden Wii, once gifted to the British Royal Family by THQ, for $36,000. Given this history, the question arises: is a $100,000 price tag for the historically significant Space World GameCube too ambitious? While the asking price is high, Fillerup is open to offers, suggesting the possibility of a lower final sale price. For those with deep pockets, owning this piece of gaming history could be within reach.
