Description

Full body blue shell with matching plug and a white “Nintendo GameCube” logo. It was released in console bundles in Japan and as a standalone accessory in Japan and South Korea.

Trivia

  • The Emerald Blue controller was bundled as a second controller in the Platinum “Pikmin 2” bundle.
  • Although its color closely resembles that of the teal GameCube dev. kit, it is actually a more vibrant blue. That means the Emerald Blue does not match any produced GameCube consoles.
  • *About the South Korean release date: The GameCube was released in South Korea on December 14th 2002, so I assume the standalone Emerald Blue was released on the same date.

Standalone Packaging

  • Japan Ver.2
  • South Korea
