Shipping NZ$81.95 — your parcel leaves the Netherlands.

Order more than one and you share the shipping: a second game rides along free.

Orders up to NZ$1,000 are not charged GST or duty at the border (Customs may apply a small levy of a few dollars). Above NZ$1,000, New Zealand Customs charges 15% GST (plus duty where it applies) and an import entry fee before delivery — none of it is included in the price at checkout.

Crossing the border costs you more and takes longer. That you accept that anyway means a great deal to me.

Shipping to New Zealand

Small parcel (1-3 games), tracked: NZ$81.95
Parcel (console / 4+ items), tracked: NZ$139.98
Delivery time: 8-14 working days

We ship from the Netherlands: your parcel crosses the world, so it takes longer and costs more than a domestic delivery. Orders up to NZ$1,000 are not charged GST or duty at the border (Customs may apply a small levy of a few dollars); above NZ$1,000, New Zealand Customs charges 15% GST (plus duty where it applies) and an import entry fee before delivery — none of it is included in the price at checkout.

On a New Zealand console: European (PAL) edition — New Zealand shares the PAL region with Europe, so it plays on your GameCube, region lock or not. Game text in English unless the name says otherwise; the box and manual are the European print.

New Zealand is outside the EU. Orders up to NZ$1,000 are not charged GST or duty at the border: we are not registered for New Zealand GST, so nothing is added — Customs may only apply a small import levy of a few dollars per consignment. Above NZ$1,000, New Zealand Customs charges 15% GST (plus duty where it applies) and an import entry fee, collected before delivery. None of this is included in the price at checkout. You pay in New Zealand dollars — Credit card or PayPal. The amount at checkout is what your card or PayPal is charged, at our fixed shop rate; your bank converts nothing.

Why does shipping abroad cost this much?

Inside the Netherlands a single game fits through the letterbox — NZ$8.81, tracking included. That service stops at the border. Anything leaving the country goes with PostNL as an international parcel, which is a different and considerably more expensive service. That is where the NZ$81.95 comes from: the border itself is not what costs money, the cheap service simply ends there.

That amount covers the PostNL rate to your country plus the packaging: bubble mailer or box, an antistatic sleeve for the cartridge, and tape. We never drop the tracking — on a parcel that crosses a border, shipping without proof of delivery is a risk for both of us.

Without you there would be nothing to grow. Every order that comes in here is the reason this shop can get bigger — and the reason I can keep doing this.

About this product

Game Boy Player Start-Up Disc for GameCube — original Nintendo retro, personally checked.

The start-up disc for the GameCube’s Game Boy Player accessory.

With its original box — increasingly hard to find in this condition and a highlight in any collection. Disc cleaned and tested, ready to play.

The GameCube came out in 2001: mini-DVD discs and exclusives like Wind Waker, Smash Melee and Metroid Prime. On the original disc the game runs the way it was meant to — and keeps working for years to come.

Who is this for? Anyone who would rather play on a real GameCube than in an emulator — collectors who want the original in their hands, and players who simply want that feeling back.

European (PAL) edition — New Zealand shares the PAL region with Europe, so it plays on your GameCube, region lock or not. Game text in English unless the name says otherwise; the box and manual are the European print. Every item passes our authenticity check (case, disc, print) and a function test — you're buying 100% original.

Shipped from the Netherlands with PostNL tracking to New Zealand: from NZ$81.95; no GST or duty on orders up to NZ$1,000. 30-day returns.

Seen it cheaper elsewhere?

For most titles there’s also a private listing online, sometimes a few euros cheaper. The difference isn’t in the title, but in the copy itself and in everything around it.

Does it work?: Here: Booted on the console itself and the disc checked for scratches before it went online.; Private seller: ‘Works’ in the photo. You test it yourself, after buying.
Is it genuine?: Here: Nintendo pressing code, case and artwork checked — no burned copy.; Private seller: A burned copy in a genuine case is impossible to spot in a photo.
If it disappoints?: Here: 30-day cooling-off period, and a 30-day warranty that it works.; Private seller: No right of withdrawal: consumer law doesn’t apply between private individuals. Buyer protection only covers the first 48 hours after delivery; after that you’re on your own.
Who’s behind it?: Here: One person, who has held this game personally and answers your question personally.; Private seller: Varies per listing.

Why you still remember this

The handle you carried it by

The little cube with a handle on top, as if it were a lunch box. Tiny discs, that start-up jingle you can still hum, and a memory card you could never find.

One copy, this copy. The tiny discs fit nothing else: only a GameCube and the first Wii play them.

Authenticity check

How we test GameCube games for authenticity

GameCube discs (2001-2007) are harder to counterfeit than cartridges, but burned copies exist. We go through these five steps. Every GameCube game in our shop goes through this five-step check before it is sold.

1
Disc quality + Nintendo logo
An original GCN mini-disc has a clear Nintendo logo + game artwork. A blank "white" disc with a sticker = fake/burned copy.
2
Case colour + label
Original case: dark grey/black (depending on region). Label on the disc and the back of the case sharply printed. Fakes: light grey case, dull grey label.
3
Product code DOL-XXXX
On the disc: DOL- prefix (Dolphin = the GCN codename). DOL-GZLP-EUR = Wind Waker EU. No DOL- prefix = fake.
4
Manual + memory card check
Original GCN games came with a manual + saving on a memory card. A missing manual does not necessarily mean fake (it can be lost). No working save via the memory card slot = possibly a burned disc.
5
Boot in a GameCube or Wii
A GCN disc loads on an original GameCube and on a Wii (in GCN compatibility mode on an original Wii). Boots to the title in 5-10 sec. Fake burned discs: often skipped frames in the intro.

What we see with GameCube games

Our experience

GameCube discs (2001-2007) are harder to counterfeit than cartridges. We do come across burned copies — recognisable by a white, blank disc surface with a sticker on it instead of printed artwork. We check the DOL product code, the Nintendo mark and the start-up in an original GameCube.

Our tip

GameCube discs only work on the original GCN console and on the original Wii (which still plays GameCube discs). The Switch and Wii U cannot play GCN. Saving is done via a memory card; we state whether one is included.

About this specific copy

This copy comes with its original box. A manual or inserts may be included, but we do not guarantee them.

About the Nintendo GameCube

The Nintendo GameCube (2001) is the compact purple cube that sold 21 million units — a modest figure, but with outstanding software. Super Smash Bros. Melee, Metroid Prime, Resident Evil 4 and Zelda: Wind Waker are GameCube icons that are still played today.

8 cm mini-DVDs instead of standard discs — a unique format.
480p component output for modern TVs on the first models — the original cable is rare and expensive.
Well over 650 games released — a small library, high quality.
The Game Boy Player accessory plays GBA cartridges on the TV via the GameCube.

Our tip: GameCube games have been rising in value for years, led by Super Smash Bros. Melee and Metroid Prime. Get in while it is still affordable — and the disc also plays on an early Wii with GameCube ports.
