Goods worth up to ₱10,000 (shipping not counted) arrive without duty or tax. Above ₱10,000, Philippine customs charges 12% VAT and, depending on the item, import duty; PHLPost collects it before handing over the parcel, with a handling fee — none of this is included in the price at checkout.
Shipping to the Philippines
- Small parcel (games or a handheld), tracked
- ₱2,406.96
- Parcel (home console or larger order), tracked
- ₱3,610.44
- Delivery time
- 9-22 business days
We ship from the Netherlands: your parcel crosses the world, so it takes longer and costs more than a domestic delivery. Goods worth up to ₱10,000 (shipping not counted) arrive without duty or tax. Above ₱10,000, Philippine customs charges 12% VAT and, depending on the item, import duty; PHLPost collects it before handing over the parcel, with a handling fee — none of this is included in the price at checkout.
You pay in Philippine pesos — 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 to the Philippines cost more than at home?
Inside the Netherlands a single game fits in a small tracked packet for ₱425.90. To the Philippines that same tracked packet costs from ₱735.46. The difference is the route: halfway around the world, through Philippine customs, and with PHLPost for the last stretch — PostNL charges for every step of it.
That amount covers the PostNL rate plus the packaging: a padded mailer or box, a protective sleeve for the case, and tape. Several games share one parcel, priced by weight — a second game adds only a little. We never drop the tracking: on a parcel that travels halfway around the world, 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.

More about this item
About this product
Pokemon Box: Ruby & Sapphire for Nintendo GameCube — a classic from the Pokémon series, among the most sought-after Nintendo games there are.
Not a game but a storage vault on a memory card: keep up to 1500 Pokémon from Ruby and Sapphire, view them on TV and trade them between cartridges.
With its original box. 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.
GameCube games are region-locked: this European (PAL) edition plays on a European (PAL) GameCube — check the region of your console, or ask us in the chat. 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 the Philippines: from ₱2,406.96; no duty or tax on goods up to ₱10,000. 30-day returns.

Seen it cheaper elsewhere?
For most titles there’s also a private listing online, sometimes a little 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 returns, and a 12-month warranty that it works.
- Private seller: Usually sold as-is: no returns between private individuals, and a marketplace guarantee only covers an item that isn’t as described — not a change of mind.
- 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.

Compatibility — GameCube
GameCube discs work on the original GameCube and on early Wii models (the Wii has a GameCube controller and memory card slot).
Please note — European (PAL) copy
This is the European (PAL) release. GameCube games are region-locked, so this copy plays on a European GameCube or a region-free modded one — not on a US (NTSC-U) or Japanese (NTSC-J) GameCube. The table below is for European consoles.
| Console | Works? |
|---|---|
| Nintendo GameCube | Yes |
| Nintendo Wii (original models) | Yes |
- Nintendo GameCube: Native
- Nintendo Wii (original models): Backwards compatible — GC controller + memory card slots built in
Please note
- •The Wii "Family Edition" (RVL-101, from 2011) and the Wii Mini have NO GameCube slots — GC discs do not work on them.
- •GameCube discs are region-locked. Our stock is PAL (EU).
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.
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.
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.
Product code DOL-XXXX
On the disc: DOL- prefix (Dolphin = the GCN codename). DOL-GZLP-EUR = Wind Waker EU. No DOL- prefix = fake.
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.
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.
