Gamecube Label Variants - A Visual Guide!


 


image



UPDATE:  It's been three years, so I thought I'd update this.  I have more to add as far as stand alone demos and whatnot. 





I’ve never really seen a list of Gamecube Label Variants, so I thought I’d create one.  I need NA’s help to add whatever I’m missing.   



Please note that sometimes the variant is easier to find then the "Regular" version.  (Alphabetized list of everything at the bottom of this post)



The variant discriptions are below each picture.  Anyways take a look at my confirmed list so far:

  • Reserved for pics.
  • these variants are trippy, so many exclusive store ones
  • About a week ago I had done the zelda variants. Glad to see a more exstensive list put together. I will look to see what pics if any I can provide.
  • Great list! I'll be subscribing.
  • I just got The Haunted Mansion with "Free Movie Pass Inside" on the front cover. I also have The Ant Bully with "Free Movie Ticket Voucher Inside". Not sure if that's a variant, though. All the copies I see on eBay have it.



    ETA: Just realized by what you meant  by unconfirmed. Well, The Ant Bully is one to add to the unconfirmed list unless you already know there isn't a variant.
  • Gave this an update and a bump. I've hunted down most of these, still working on a few though.
  • I believe I found another variant. Freestyle street soccer. Some have a blockbuster logo towards the bottom.
  • There is a canadian and a USA label variant for Pikmin 2, completely different. Not sure if you're counting this but it is a variant!
  • and by label I mean cover art
  • theguy1962 - Thats perfect. Just what I'm looking for. I heard that game had something to do with Blockbuster but never notieced the little icon at the bottom. I'll add it to the list.



    Maertens29 - Yep I know what your talking about with Pikman 2, I have that version. I think that cover art is way better by the way. I'm not really looking for outside of the U.S. released though... just to keep things simpler.
  • There is a variant for Star Wars: Bounty Hunter. Standard cover has a flying Jango Fett, shootin' at fools. The alternate cover has just Jango's helmet.

    Derp.  Saw the 'uncomfirmed' Star Wars and didn't read over to the right to see it was for a card and not the alternate insert.  <_<
  • Found another Movie Ticket variant. X-2: Wolverine's Revenge.
  • Nice find! I've updated the list with that one. I also found a couple more that have been added to the list.
  • Added pics of everything and updated the list.
  • God damn, never realized how many variants they were on GC. Good job getting that list together man.
  • That is awesome, man! Great job!
  • Thanks guys. I think we have a pretty good list going but I'm sure there are more out there.
  • I know of one thats not listed here, there is a "target exclusive" for mario party 4. I sold one on Ebay a while ago, but I cant find it, it has been more than 60 days.

    Hmm... Interesting.  I know of the Target Metroid Prime and Mario Golf but I've never heard of the Mario Party 4 one.  Do you remember did it just have a target logo on it or something.  Advertising coupons maybe?  I'll have to keep my eye out for this.

    I've spent the last half hour tryng to track this down on ebay or the web with no luck.  Not to say that means anything, I've just haven't seen this variant brought up before.  Do you remember if it was a sticker on the label or case... or did it look like it was printed directly on the cover insert?

    ok..... I feel stupid now. I looked through my Ebay invoices for it, searching mario party 4 on each months invoice, and finally found it, and it was K Mart   :facepalm;

    No worries, honest mistake.  It happens...
  • Metroid prime 2 target exclusive with napster logo on outside of seal
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/BRAND-NEW-Metroid-Prime-2-Echoes-Nintendo-GameCube-2004-ORIGINAL-BOX-/261040460904?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item3cc7395468

    Metroid prime 2 regular release... No napster logo on outside of package.
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Metroid-Prime-2-Echoes-Game-Cube-2004-/120627463987?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item1c15f50733

    Needless to say this is a variant, but one that can only be proved if the game is factory sealed

    That is true, I've seen a few variants like this before.  Theres the one you mentioned.  Finding Nemo had a "free movie ticket" on some cases, but it's only a sticker.  One of the Bratz games had a "free doll inside" sticker on some of the cases.  I'm sure theres a few other examples, but since they are all only stickers I decided not to add them to my list.  They deserve honerable mentions though.     



    Theres also a few 2-disk games that have a 1-disk varaint that deserve mention.... R: Racing and I-Ninja are two games that came in either 1-disk or 2-disk (with Pac-man Vs.) included.  I think there are a small handfull of others that are like this but have no difference in cover art. 




  • Thanks for the awesome thread! As somebody who collects Gamecube, this is extremely helpful to me. I already managed to collect a bunch of these that I've already acquired by chance, but I never specifically have been looking for variants. Now, perhaps I will.



    I can confirm The Haunted Mansion. I have 2 copies of this actually.











  • Big Air Freestyle (with Godzilla Demo) - No alternate cover

    Cubix Robots: Showdown (with Bonus DVD) - Confirmed (I have seen it but do not own it)

    I-Ninja (With Pacman Vs.) - No alternate cover. Pacman Vs. was in it's own separate cardboard sleeve.

    R: Racing Evolution (With Pacman Vs.) - No alternate cover.

    Robotech Battlecry (with Free DVD) - Confirmed. I own two.
  • My God this will make my life so much easier. Thank you for putting time into this. I will keep my eyes out for any unconfirmed ones.
