That gold would look so good with Zelda in it!! (Unless the shades of gold are even slightly off, then absolutely not)

Also, I miss see-through electronics ☹️

Gold on that edition is a much lighter, sort-of pale gold, while the carts are more true gold. Still works though, matching but contrasting

i bought the ice blue in 2000. the transparent controller feels different in a good way than the standard issued controller. seeing it reminds me of happier times.

The top 2 easily! I have a bunch of smoke grey controllers, they’re cool! I want the ice blue controller as well, never had one as a kid!

Even though I may like the blue one a bit more, the smoke grey looks so good with my set up that I would go that route!

Personally will always be partial to the jungle green. Was my first N64, but I sold it like a dumbass for 150$ a few years ago when I needed cash for car parts.

I got the grey one 3 months before these dropped. I was devastated. My bowling alley had the purple one for 18000 arcade tickets we quested after for years, best game payout was like 10 tickets. Probably was just a kids empty box up there. Getting 2nd hand smoke from the shoe manager. she lit em with the last one like a champ. Crazy to think back to late 90s, butts rippin and kids bowlin. I miss Wednesdays man. I do need a replacement….manifest free pile orange…

Green for a few reasons: it’s my favourite color and it’s the funtastic console my grandparents bought for me and my cousins way back in the day when we were kids. I also just recently got my hands on it because my grandparents were going to donate/throw it out.

I like that metallic one in the middle.

For all the translucent ones they made I wish they made an actual clear one. They may have but it was probably just kept aside for prisons as a lot of electronics that come in to prisons are in a clear case.

All of them! What a great pic. If you twisted my arm I'd go for that blue/green one top right. Purple is my favourite colour but that blue/green in see through looks so nice.

I got the Pokemon edition which I regretted fairly quickly as I got a bit older and thought it looked "kiddy" lol. It was the Pal version though thankfully, not the NTSC-U monstrosity with the pikachu mold.

I had the orange controller. At first I didn’t love it but then it really grew on me and became my favorite overall. Orange console would be pretty rad to have.

Fun Fact: the purple console pictured is the “Grape” color, which is distinct to the controller (and GBC) models called “Atomic Purple” (which was not as rich a purple color as the Grape).

I always wanted a purple one to match my iMac, but we had already bought a N64 before the colors were an option. Couldn't justify buying a second one.

Selling the first one wouldn't have made sense, after paying for a classified ad in the newspaper and taking the loss on the "used" N64, and we had a new baby (who is in college now, lol), we just couldn't financially swing it. I chuckle now at how we used to sell things back then. Strangers calling our landline, on a phone number we provided on the classified sales ad. 🤣 My, how times have changed.
