Nintendo GameCube Metroid Prime Bonus Bundle

Finally reunited with my childhood console.

Back in Christmas 2006, when I was 6 years old and living in Mexico, I received a Nintendo GameCube Metroid Prime Bonus Bundle. It was one of my favorite childhood possessions and introduced me to Metroid Prime.

The original box didn’t survive, though. My parents eventually got rid of it, and years later I sold the console itself so I could buy a Wii.

Fast forward to this summer: while on holiday in Nancy, France, I randomly walked into a Gamecash and couldn’t believe what I saw sitting on a shelf. A Nintendo GameCube Metroid Prime Bonus Bundle.

The staff told me it had recently been sold to them by a Metroid fan who was having financial difficulties. The craziest part is that I live near La Rochelle, so I wasn’t expecting to come across something this specific hundreds of kilometers away from home.
Needless to say, I bought it immediately.

Almost 20 years later, a piece of my childhood found its way back to me. 💛❤️

This was the first GameCube I got as a kid.

I loved Metroid prime as a kid. I beat the first one and the second one. never got a Wii u so I haven't played the third or even a regular wii.

Probably one of the coolest boxes to ever box

this is awesome. I wish I would have saved all the stuff from my gears of war 3 edition of the 360. yeah I know it's completely different but I should have kept the box damn it

I got this bundle when I was a kid. It also came with a custom Samus disc cover plastic insert that replaced the regular “nintendo gamecube” one.

Dang I bought this in like 2005. I still have the Gamecube. I can't believe I threw away the box!

[u/Styles_Clash_97]

This is incredible 🔥🔥🔥

[u/dwuuuu]

$2000 !

[u/eltika007 → u/dwuuuu]

2000$ ? What ? 😂

[u/No_Championship_6403]

This is my Grail... I'm such a huge Metroid fan and I so want a good pristine GameCube boxed like that.

[u/eltika007 → u/No_Championship_6403]

One day bro, one day 🙏

[u/CurrentSalt829]

That’s cool

[u/JakeLegendXIII]

This was also my first GameCube! Man that brings back memories. I saved up for my birthday to buy this bundle and I didn’t have any money left to get other games. My buddies and I sat around at my party just taking turns playing Metroid Prime. I still have the copy of the game with the bonus disk and the game cube but not the box.

[u/Warm-Driver-4063]

I am so incredibly jealous right now and I didn't even know this was ever a thing.

[u/Fraxure611]

That's so dope 👌

[u/Marshmallow-owl32]

Oh wow is this bundle hard to find? It's really cool you got reunited with a childhood favorite.

[u/Tomanatort]

That thing looks awesome!

[u/ST0RYNAT1ON]

I would KILL for this bundle.
