Package Contents 1 x S-Video Cable for GameCube/N64/SNES Review: Great for GameCube - This is your best option for playing GameCube games on a modern television, if your HDTV has the S-Video input. I recently got my GameCube out of storage (AKA: at my relative's house), and when I plugged it in with composite cables (Red, Yellow, White), the picture was dark and murky. I'm not expecting a console released in 2001 to have stunning HD graphics, but with composite cables I had to turn the brightness all the way up just to see what I was doing in Metroid Prime. I thought component cables would be a nice upgrade, but it turns out Nintendo only made about three of these, and they used a special chip in the cable that cannot be reproduced through third party companies, so your only choice if you want a set of these is to pay $300 or more on eBay. On top of this, Nintendo straight up removed the digital port in all GameCube consoles after the launch model, so even if you had a set you'd be screwed if your GameCube didn't have the right digital out port. My console doesn't have this port, so in addition to this being absurdly expensive, it's not an option anyway. But my TV also has an S-Video port, and this cable is perfect. When I bought it I paid $5, and the picture is nice and bright! It's basically night and day, since the composite cables really make Eternal Darkness live up to its name. But with this cable I booted up X-Men Legends, and it looked great. Not modern I-see-all-the-hair-follicles great, but this is probably the best way to play a GameCube these days if it will work with your TV. If it doesn't, my backup choice would have been to use enKo's Mini Composite to HDMI Converter. It's pricier at $36, but if you don't have S-Video it will take those old composite cables and convert the signal to HDMI. I haven't used this converter, but if this cables hadn't been a significant improvement, I would have tried this next. In short, get this cable if you want to play GameCube games on an HDTV. Review: Inexpensive upgrade BIG improvement over AV cables - Got this S-video cable as an upgrade for my GameCube (and N64, though I haven't tested that yet) and I was blown away by how much sharper the image is over the old composite AV cables on my 27" Trinitron. I wanted to try the Retro Prism Component cable too, but switching between that and this Gam3Gear S-Video cable, I honestly preferred the latter (which is $50 cheaper). The Prism Component cable made colors darker/less saturated in-game, and would not display correctly when booting into Swiss. I returned the Prism, but I just ordered another one of these Gam3Gear cables to use for my N64... Now just to find where all stored all my game carts! ## Features - High quality S-Video Cable for SNES,N64,Gamecube - Made by Gam3Gear - Cable Length: 168cm - NOTE: NOT compatible with PAL GameCube because the console was made out of S-video support but the cable is compatible with NTSC ,US GameCube - Note: If you experience noise or rainbow bars, it may be caused by slight oxidation of the video output connectors. Try the following:1.Plug and Unplug: Repeatedly plug and unplug the cable to remove oxidation. 2.Clean the Port: Use isopropyl alcohol to clean the console’s output port. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00LE3EAIK | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,320 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #7 in Super Nintendo Accessories #8 in GameCube Accessories #9 in Nintendo 64 Accessories | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (1,037) | | Date First Available | November 23, 2015 | | Item Weight | 2.39 ounces | | Item model number | UK-B00LE3EAIK | | Manufacturer | Gam3Gear | | Product Dimensions | 4.72 x 1.18 x 4.72 inches; 2.4 ounces | | Type of item | Video Game | ## Images ![Gam3Gear S-Video Cable Compatible with Nintendo GameCube, N64, and SNES - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61JzsK6iE6L.jpg) ![Gam3Gear S-Video Cable Compatible with Nintendo GameCube, N64, and SNES - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6140FDRnIDL.jpg) ![Gam3Gear S-Video Cable Compatible with Nintendo GameCube, N64, and SNES - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61umdhWgpxL.jpg) ![Gam3Gear S-Video Cable Compatible with Nintendo GameCube, N64, and SNES - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/615MMfonwiL.jpg) ![Gam3Gear S-Video Cable Compatible with Nintendo GameCube, N64, and SNES - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61pj1RXxgLL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Where on the game gear does these cables plug into?** A: This cable is only for Nintendo consoles. The brand is called "gam3gear" , it will not plug into a game gear system. **Q: Is there any kind of adapter that can be bought if your hdtv does not have a s-video spot?** A: Best option is to find another tv if its an hdtv to make sure it has s video if not just get a crt cuz most crts during the late 90s and early 2000s as most of them have s video and generally speaking all games look better on a crt tv anyways as all those games where made with crt televisions **Q: Is this compatible with a female connector port such as Tendak?** A: I believe that works the opposite of what you may think. A Tendak device converts newer HDMI devices to an older RCA output. This will not work if you're attempting to convert RCA to HDMI. **Q: Will this work on the japanese super famicom? i dont recall if the rear connector is universal.** A: Yes it will work on Japanese Super Famicom but your TV has to get the S-video input ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for GameCube *by Q***0 on January 13, 2018* This is your best option for playing GameCube games on a modern television, if your HDTV has the S-Video input.

I wanted to try the Retro Prism Component cable too, but switching between that and this Gam3Gear S-Video cable, I honestly preferred the latter (which is $50 cheaper).

I returned the Prism, but I just ordered another one of these Gam3Gear cables to use for my N64... Now just to find where all stored all my game carts! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pleasantly surprised. *by H***D on December 26, 2017* I was skeptical as hell about these cables. I could not justify the money on getting official Nintendo s-video or even remotely the GCN component cables off amazon or ebay. I mostly bought these for my gamecube but I also have an N64 I wanted to test them on. As for the gamecube. It made the picture look really good. I don't notice any checker boarding at all. they are a really nice upgrade over composite cables. So color me shocked to find out these work great for my gamecube. Now I only wish component cables didn't cost as much as they do :( thankfully I have a Wii with component cables for all the 480p gamecube games I have. As for the results on my N64 (I was going to order a second set if they worked out). Sadly the results on my N64 were not as noticeable. But then again the N64 has not aged quite as well and tends to look like crap on any modern display. As they say "You can only polish a turd so much". So with all that said, aside from the issues I have with the N64. The only other "issue" I have with this cable is the connector (the end that goes into your console) is a little loose. its not a snug fit like the Nintendo OEM cables are. It should still be fine as long as you don't juggle your console around while playing games on them. But over all these are pretty good for the money. a nice upgrade over RF and composite but wont break the bank like the official Nintendo s-video or even worse the gamecube component cables. They have clearly upgraded this cable to have 2 ground pins instead of just the 1 as other review here have talked about. There also was not any noticeable audio hum or anything else like that or at least none that I noticed. Only reason I didn't give it a 5 out of 5 was because of the connector not fitting as snuggly as the stock cable. Id give them a 4.8 out of 5 so far. ## Frequently Bought Together - Gam3Gear SNES Nintendo N64 Gamecube S Video Cable - Tomee S-Video AV Cable for PS3/ PS2/ PlayStation - GE 4-Way RCA Switch AV Splitter Switch, for Connecting 4 RCA Output Devices to Your TV, S-Video Support, Audio/Video, Game Consoles, DVD, VCR, 38807 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/27197363-gam3gear-s-video-cable-compatible-with-nintendo-gamecube-n64-snes](https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/27197363-gam3gear-s-video-cable-compatible-with-nintendo-gamecube-n64-snes) --- *Product available on Desertcart Brazil* *Store origin: BR* *Last updated: 2026-09-18*
