"The indigo GameCube was my first console. I got it for Christmas 2001 and spent the entire summer on Melee with my brother. Finding one in launch condition with the original handle still clicking properly was everything. The laser calibration is real — Super Smash Bros. Melee loads instantly, no hesitation."

"Handle mechanism still clicks with that satisfying sound. Disc drive doesn't sound like a helicopter taking off. My childhood copy of Wind Waker fits perfectly and loads clean. Everything a GameCube should be."

"Had three GameCubes over the years and this is the only one I've kept. The indigo color is genuinely beautiful — I've shown it to people who don't game and they think it's art. Runs Pokemon Colosseum perfectly."
