GameCube Mandela Effect

fake · Jan 10, 2019

When I first got a GameCube, I bought Metroid Prime along with it. Several months later I got Super Mario Sunshine. I could've sworn they both came in cardboard snap cases like the one below, but with a GC-sized space for the disc.

I ended up trading them both in and now I can't find any evidence that this type of case exists. Did I end up in a new timeline? Can anyone confirm these types of cases were used?

I was pretty actively playing Gamecube when it was new, I never saw such a thing.

Barry, you're fucking up the timeline again. Stop fucking up the timeline, Barry.

The extra long 3DO cardboard snaps were da best!!!!

nah, you tripping dawg.

Nope, never seen that in Limeyland either, and I’ve owned one since shortly after launch.

Been ages since I’ve seen any new DVD’s in one too. Good job really, they were a bit shit.

GameCube games were always in those blockbuster type DVD cases, you know with the yellow lock on them? That's why there's holes in the bottom of the case on every GC game.

Yeah that definitely never happened.

You sure you didn’t buy them used some place and they used a DVD case and swapped the insert?

In my memory, they were well done, not some sort of bootleg thing or how GS now prints out inserts.

But apparently my memory can't be trusted, so who knows?

Japanese gamecube games have a cardboard cover. Not sure if that's what you mean.

This is a very good lead. You could take out the paperboard flap of a regular DVD snap case and adapt the Japanese GC cardboard slipcase to fit into the plastic strips. The dimensions of both seem similar enough.

I don’t think so considering how much smaller the Japanese case is compared to a dvd case

Didn't know that. I just googled 'gamecube cardboard gamecases'
It showed some pics of japanese games.

I've yet to see a single example of the Mandela Effect that lends any evidence whatsoever to its existence.

fake · Jan 11, 2019

Yeah, the Japanese cases are smaller and thicker than the rest of them. Chode cases if you will. Mine were full sized DVD cases like the one in the photo. They were all in English, etc. Good thought though.

I didn't even have a DVD player back then, so I don't know how I could be conflating this with some other item I own. So weird...

Maybe you're just misremembering.

I believe in the Berenstein Bears one.

I stand corrected, thanks. Was just fooled by search engine results like ratson.

JoeAwesome · Jan 11, 2019

To be on topic, I'm thinking of the different packaging used for Gamecube discs. The ones that come to mind are Pac-Man Vs (also done with demo discs like Naruto 2), and the Gameboy Player startup disc.
