Overview / What It Is

This is an officially licensed Nintendo GameCube storage chest, produced during the GameCube era as a practical, all-in-one solution for storing the console, controllers, memory cards, cables, and game discs. Unlike generic bins or aftermarket organizers, this chest was designed specifically around the GameCube ecosystem, both in size and layout.

The chest features Nintendo’s bold early-2000s aesthetic: a vivid blue and yellow body, a smoke-gray transparent lid, and a centered Nintendo GameCube logo badge. It’s as much a period display piece as it is functional storage—instantly recognizable to anyone who owned a GameCube during its original run.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Official Nintendo-licensed product

Purpose-built for the GameCube ecosystem

Includes original caster wheels (often missing)

Durable plastic with strong color presence

Excellent display and storage balance

Cons

Bulky compared to modern minimalist storage

Designed for GameCube-era hardware (not modular shelving)

Usage & Display Tips

Install caster wheels only if you plan to move it regularly

Store heavier items (console, discs) in the bottom bin

Keep controllers in the top tray to prevent cable tangling

For display collections, the transparent lid works well without stacking

Collectors often leave these unstacked and visible, as the design itself is part of the appeal.

Popularity & Collector Reception

During the GameCube’s lifespan, Nintendo released a range of official accessories, but large storage solutions like this were produced in smaller numbers compared to controllers and memory cards. Many were discarded or heavily used, making complete examples increasingly uncommon.

Today, these storage chests are sought after because:

They’re unmistakably GameCube-era in design

They complete a “full official setup”

They were never reissued or replicated

Complete sets with original wheels included are especially desirable.
