One of the rarest versions of the Nintendo GameCube can now actually be purchased. However, it is "only" a prototype that Nintendo had developed especially for a trade fair in 2000. It differs from the finished console, but is also not functional. Collectors should still keep an eye on it.
Nintendo Gamecube SpaceWorld 2000 on offer
It's about this console:With the Nintendo Gamecube, the Japanese game and console manufacturer launched its first own console with CD drive in 2001. Almost a year earlier, the new console was presented to the public for the first time.
Around the turn of the millennium, Nintendo organized its own trade fair in Japan, the SpaceWorld. This took place five times between 1997 and 2001. In 2000, prototypes of the GameCubes were shown.
However, these prototypes had disappeared a whopping 23 years. It was not until 2023 that one of them reappeared. And it is now becoming up noweBayoffered. However, the price has it all: a total of $ 100,000 are required. However, it is also possible to send your own offer, so the console may also be a little cheaper.
That makes the prototype so special:The high value naturally results primarily from the extreme rarity of the console. There are only two of these prototypes in total. The black variant is located in the Nintendo Museum, so it is the only freely available version.

There are also a few differences to the finished GameCube. A small window is attached on the top, through which the CD can be seen. The buttons for "power", "Open" and "Reset" also differ. They are also labeled.
The most important difference is that the prototype is just a prototype. Except for the LED light, nothing works. So he cannot play games and is otherwise quite useless. But also extremely valuable as a collector's item.
Did you know that there is this prototype? What would your maximum bid be?
