1 OneUnder 1976 Report post Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) So, bottom line: official?It wasn't manufactured by Nintendo, so therefore it's not a first-party official peripheral. It was a third-party peripheral since Intec made it. Seems legit. Google brings me lots of evidence of it's existence. How much was the price?I haven't been able to track down the MSRP anywhere; I don't recall it from when I saw them in stores/online back in the day either. I want to say around $80, but it could've been more. Edited May 15, 2015 by OneUnder 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 OneUnder 1976 Report post Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) Most of the Gamecube screens were manufactured by a company named Intec if memory serves. They were an aftermarket accessory available for the Gamecube, and were pretty cool IMO. Edited May 15, 2015 by OneUnder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 fanfictiondreamer 193 Report post Posted May 16, 2015 Hey, I remember that thing! They were trying to make the Gamecube portable, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Dr. Orange 1554 Report post Posted May 16, 2015 $80 bucks sounds a bit crazy. I'm probably biased since I got my Gamecube at $15. But still, like save up for an old flat screen. Get like ... what a whole 2.75 feet difference for only like $30? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Drasiana 1651 Report post Posted May 16, 2015 There are people who were born the year the Gamecube came out who, in some areas, are now able to be legally employed in order to afford their own Gamecubes off of Craigslist.Makes u think that you are old 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 InfinitySquared 163 Report post Posted May 17, 2015 Kinda reminds me of this adapter-type thing we had that'd plug a Gamecube into the cigarette lighter in my mom's car so we could play Melée on the car-TV things on the backs of the front seats. It worked great for those long-ass vacations to New York or North Carolina, provided it was dark or the road was perfectly flat and straight. I'm guessing that this served the same basic purpose, although I can't imagine it would be too comfortable to use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it was a shit 90's TV that was super glued to the back trunk door. And it was an Xbox 420. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Robert Monroe 718 Report post Posted May 26, 2015 That thing was called the Mobile Monitor, I saw it advertised in shop magazines and stuff a lot back when the GCN was in vogue. It was really expensive but cool for its time, at least conceptually. IDK how bad of a battery hog it would've been though, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you imagine how many double A batteries the thing would've taken to keep it on for more than an hour? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 DZComposer 2309 Report post Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) It was not an official Nintendo product. It was a 3rd-party accessory that allow you to play GCN in the car.Is it worth a premium? I don't know. I wouldn't pay much for one myself as it is really a niche device. I would say it has little collector value if any.Nothing special about GCN itself. I wouldn't pay more than like $20 over used market price for the GCN with the mobile monitor.Only GCN stuff I would wager has high collector value are wavebird controllers and the Panasonic Q, which was the GCN/DVD Player combo unit sold in Japan.
