There are quite often people that buy things and shelve them for later sale, especially stuff with a history of only increasing in price as time goes on, and as such have it available for those that want it. Investment wise there are better things you can do but at the same time it is something you could do as a domain expert* as it were (I imagine a sizeable chunk of the membership here could make a return if given a seed and a few years).You can buy a New gamecube in 2019?

The epic boot and BIOS menu music alone is enough to warrant buying a GameCube, IMO
i wouldn't buy a new one unless you were planning on keeping it new if you're just going to open it the value is gone already.
and as others have already mentioned a wii is infinitely better for playing gamecube games if playing it is what you intend to do.
wii has usb and sd slots, higher resolution, widescreen and component cables that cost 20x less.
The Wii is certainly more versatile than just buying a GameCube. But that kind of defeats the purpose of owning the original hardware.
that's upto you he asked for advice while most is just opinion i feel quite strongly about the don't buy a new one just to open it part if it's in sealed condition now it should stay that way shouldn't ruin the conductibility on something that hasn't been made in this long.The Wii is certainly more versatile than just buying a GameCube.

I suppose it depends on what your preference is really. We’re all different, I like the originals, which is why I have over 70 systems. Though to be fair, those I’ve kept since I started gaming in the 70’s.
But if you’re going to down the road of getting a Wii, then why not the Wii U?
Even more power, even more versatility and thanks to Nintendont, you can still play GameCube games, along with Wii, Wii U and all of the homebrew and emulators available for it.
I know this isn't relevant to the thread, but just wanted to add that some of us are extremely weird people who are more into the original hardware than even the games themselves.i thought the whole shtick of original hardware was to play the game how it's meant to be played
