Long story short: DON'T BUY THIS ADAPTER, IT WILL FRUSTRATE YOU.

The Intec brand gamecube power adapter has different specs than the official nintendo one. The official adapter provides 3.25amps of DC output. The Intec one is only rated for 2.75amps. Becuase the Intec ones doesn't provide sufficient power, sometimes the gamecube won't spin up your game disk. Especially after playing for a long time and then changing disks. This is probably due to the power adapter warming up (as all power adapters do). The annoying part is that it seems you can only get the nintendo branded adapter from [...]. Oh well.

I bought this adapter thinking it would answer my problems. It did, but only for a couple of months. Just stopped working like the nintendo one did.

This is the same AC Adapter that comes with the 'cube so you only need it if yours died or was damaged...

It gets it's job done just fine. Perhaps even a little better then most due to the fact that the box is in the middle of the cord and not on the plug end. This makes it much more convient, since it takes up less space on powerstrips and wall sockets.

When purchasing this product I was skeptical if it would work on my console. So far I have not been too disappointed by it's performance. It works well on my gaming console and has had only one minor fault. The only fault is the grounding end of the plug, which can become loose when plugged into an outlet. Overall very pleased with this product.

I bought this for my great grandson and he said the adapter worked quite well with his game cube.

I purchased the GameCube Power Adapter for my daughter who is an avid game player. So far, I have not had any complaints from the "Game Room."
She lost the original adapter by hauling the system from place to place like young people do. So, since she's happy, I'm happy, so that makes the adapter excellent.

mine got hit by lightening, this one is better than mine because it has a ready green light, thanks!!1

I received this product quickly and it was in good condition. I was a bit afraid when I saw that it was a power supply for the Japanice GameCube, but the power output was almost the same 100 (JPN) vs 120 (USA) but it worked fine when I connected it.
Next time please provide that type of information in your item description.

When I first bought this, it worked just fine. Then, a month or two (maybe three) I took my Gamecube to my aunts house and it wouldn't start up. I had to mess with it a little (I didn't do that before it started acting weird). When I got home, it was completely shot. I highly recommend NOT buying this! If you don't want to get another dud or a new system (a 360, Wii, or PS3), go straight to Nintendo and buy that.

the original power cord got wet when my daughter spilled a drink on it. i was hoping it was just the cord that got damaged and not the entire unit. luckily, this power cord worked perfectly. and it got here super fast.
