GameCube games are experiencing high prices and scarcity in the retro market due to a combination of factors. Despite a beloved library of first-party titles and a nostalgia-driven demographic, the console itself sold significantly fewer units than its predecessors and successors. This lower sales volume, coupled with a lack of modern re-releases and the fact that early Wii consoles could play GameCube discs (thus not adding new copies to circulation), has created a supply shortage. While some titles remain relatively affordable, flagship games like Super Smash Bros. Melee can command prices exceeding $150. AI
