The \u201cNintendo GameCube Advance\u201d is a strange piece of internet gaming history: a fanciful render of a portable version of the GameCube that has made the rounds online since 2005<\/a>. But while the render has long been dismissed as a fan-made fake, YouTuber GingerOfOz has taken matters into his own hands and built a real, functional version of the concept<\/a>, as spotted by Eurogamer<\/em><\/a>. <\/p>\n

Ginger didn\u2019t just build his own real<\/em> GameCube Advance, though: he also tracked down the original artist behind the 2005 mockup and got the scoop on how and why they made it in the first place.<\/p>\n

Ginger is no stranger to making slick custom Nintendo mods, like his impressive Wii Boy Color from 2020<\/a> that somehow managed to shrink an entire Wii into the size and form factor of a Game Boy Color.<\/p>\n
