I live in Australia. I'll keep an eye out for you, buddy

[@MrSimonHaigh]

@finngamer - Amazing collection. I'm a collector from Australia and I can confirm that we received the smoke grey unit, as well as the jungle green, ice blue, fire orange and grape consoles. I have a friend who bought a smoke grey machine back in 2000 and could get a picture of the box if necessary. Jungle green was given away as a prize with DK64 in a wooden box too! Haven't seen the watermelon console though. I also don't know if the last two controllers were sold individually.

[@LMTR14]

extreme green is clearly the coolest

[@mistiramirez9220]

I love all your controllers my friend I'm going to start collecting game controllers my friend keep up the good work

[@user-wz9vn8js7p]

I liked this video very much! I like the way you stacked the games before filming, and the explaining each category of controllers!

[@radicalwarriorx9201]

That extreme green controller looks cool

[@sweturkey]

Okay, nice to see someone giving those systems some love as well :) Keep doing a great job with your videos as always :)

[@Inquisitor_Jeff]

Very nice collection! I learned my favorite controller is an Ice colored controller.

[@Tuovila]

I suppose I'll have to make a pilgrimage soon. Everyone has to see a collection like this live once in their lifetime.

[@Jcsgamecollection]

the way he says watermelon OMFG LOL

[@finngamer]

@MiseryMire0 For any N64 related questions, be sure to head to my website. (the link is on my profile) But to answer your question, it has been released in Europe and Japan.

[@Shibbby]

I'm from Australia and the Watermelon console/controllers were never released here, I had to import one from the UK.

[@HardyBros911]

Ahhhh a great look back at the glory days of nintendo....

[@valor992]

Nice to see such passion for a collection of retro controllers... gaming has so much diversity in its forms of collecting

[@finngamer]

@Wootsickles For playing I use four basic colours, black, blue, yeallow and red. For consoles, I use an european half blue/ half clear and a basic black japanese that has been modded to play USA games as well.

[@tvandlust]

My Extreme Green controller is one of my most prized video game possessions. More for personal reasons than its rarity or value though. I absolutely love the Ice color as well. I've had the controller for years, but I only just purchased the matching console last week. It's basically teal, so I had to have it! :) Fantastic stuff, Janne. This video was a real treat.

[@canucklehead70]

Dang we had an atomic purple growing up didnt know it was somewhat rare. Cant believe our N64, controllers, and games were just given away. I'm sure others can relate

[@MrVengeance83]

Awesome video finngamer - you do the very best games related videos on KZbin! Amazing collection a always. Keep up the good work, looking forward to the next video! :)

[@frankysox]

Amazing collection of controllers

[@dfa10000]

I live in Australia, and i will definitely have a look for you.

[@finngamer]

@Temposama Yeah, it's my favourite system. :) It's great because there's a lot of peripherals to collect, but not TOO many games. So it's both doable and a challenge.

[@Opp21]

And I've never seen the gold n64 controller with the nintendo emblem. That's a real treasure u got there.

[@Peyre]

nice collection! the colors on the see-throughs are amazing!

[@finngamer]

Hm, don't remember for sure, but I think I got it after the "most valuable" video. Actually half of those games should be different now, so it's an old video in that respect as well. :)

[@finngamer]

Still collecting all the N64 consoles, but I'm slowly completing the (small) libraries of N-Gage, Vectrex and Virtual Boy.

[@HorrorCinephile]

Incredible, I collect mostly N64 boxed games but now that I see these controllers I have to get my hands on a gold and extreme Green ... Just completely badass, congrats my friend!

[@BrobaFett2494]

i wish game consoles today had this much variety with controllers!

[@wgmaejnj]

7:36 MY SISTER IN LAW HAD THAT CONSOLE SHE FRICKING SOLD IT D:

[@JStoney1996]

i have 3 controllers (all of them have almost broken control sticks) - atomic purple see through, jungle green see through and ice see through). i also have the ice see through console and have been enjoying playing it since i was 4 or something - great times

[@TheOldBits]

Really love seeing your collection of N64 controllers, I love the N64, but it is frustrating how many controllers over the years I have gone through due to the analog stick wearing away, I now lube up the analog on any controller I get, it slows it down, but it still wears away. I really need to get hold of a Hori pad! I live in Australia and will keep an eye out for the missing controller. Really enjoy looking at your awesome N64 collection. Keep up the videos.

[@BenRai2k]

Wow! I loved the N64 controller even though a lot didn't, and I liked all the different colours too!

[@MotleyDeth]

This collection is awesome.

[@finngamer]

@zakk482 Because many of them are very rare. And it's not just about the color, it's about having the controller boxed or even sealed, that makes even the more common colours rarer. But if you watch the video, you'll notice I never say the Pokemon controllers are rare.

[@ArnoArtner]

Hi. I am from Austria and I still play with the "see-trough ICE-Controller" I got seperatly back in the N64 days.. so they were available in EUR!

[@RPKGameVids]

Cool stuff. My favorite colour for the N64/Controllers is smoke.

[@IamPersonMan]

I love the way you say watermellon :)

[@zdude888]

Cool, i remember when they came out with the different colors for the systems and its only now that i appreciate the variety that companies don't make available now. i mean these days for system colors you only have about one color choice with the PlayStation, two with Xbox, and two with Nintendo systems. Even with controllers nowadays we don't get even close to the n64 variety.

[@finskiproductions]

I think, that the day when you have everything collected to N64, isn´t too away!

[@WeLoveClassicGames]

He only collects the best :) Custom systems are nice to have, but some people want to focus mainly on official released products. I think having a custom system is a great way to show off your favorite game or if you want all your systems/controllers to be a certain color/theme. Thanks for the Sub :D

[@ZakkuZany]

There are rumored to be around 20 to 30 Gold/Black E3 Star Fox 64 controllers. Many people think less, and I'd say its about 25, at the most. I've seen a few on KZbin, never on eBay. Pretty cool set, man.

[@MYCRAFTisbest]

They are custome made. I just bought one of the 2 available Mario N64 controlers (the one using more white). On a side note, there are currently 3 available N64 hotel controlers (made for the hotel console) on ebay.

[@TheBarkingGnome]

Really remarkable dedication, Janne. Who knew there were so many different accessories for the N64?!?

[@finngamer]

In the UK NONE of the controllers were released separately. ;) Australia had at least the four, and even though I've heard otherwise as well, I guess the other two don't exist.

[@finngamer]

@theHappyValleyGamer Yes, the one with the blue top. It came with the Pikachu-themed console.

[@SmearcatMoon]

Wow, Lithium's video really makes you appreciate how rare some of these are - so understated!

[@Shibbby]

I've picked up a Smoke console locally but I'm not sure if they released the controllers separately, I know Watermelon definitely wasn't but I though Smoke was... Great collection by the way, thanks for uploading all of these videos for us to envy you ;)

[@Cezz624]

I love your videos, you earned yourself a subscriber! BTW, you are very lucky to have that WHOLE collection! How much do you think that whole N64 controller collection is worth?

[@finngamer]

@RetroGameFanatic Yes, that was the one. I'll tell you all about how I got it on my next "Recent Collecting" video.

[@RiouInsuiko]

@finngamer Thank you sir, can't wait for videos to come.

[@finngamer]

@N64BOSS No, the controller itself is simply a regular gold controller, like tens of thousands of other gold controllers. The only thing that makes it an NP100 is the little emblem.

[@finngamer]

Who got what wrong? I never said these are rare in Europe, I just said the weren't sold separately. Of course there are lots of them floating around, separated from their console packages.

[@Marter713]

i always knew N64 was the shit but never knew the stuff was so intricate and rare. sweet collection

[@NintendoCollecting]

For the solid green boxed controller - why is there only 1 line of gold text below the logo "Nintendo 64" on the front of the box whereas the other 5 have 3 lines of gold text? Are they different versions?

[@Shibbypod]

wow, amazing collection. I struggle just to get a handful of decent working controllers. The fact you have so many in their original unopened boxes, it is mind blowing.

[@WillyToons]

@Brandonduboff Controllers are a lot more valuable than an AC adapter. And the N64 is hardly a bad controller, especially compared to others at the time.

[@TheWatchersMonolith]

I live in Australia and I had a smoke n64 controller in good condition with the original box but it was stolen along with some of my games a couple of weeks ago. :/

[@LMTR14]

I'm having some massive dejavu about the last controller, but I can't place it in the right category... hm insane collection btw, never seen most of this stuff!!

[@cloneskiller]

deja vu is weird

[@littlepacino]

Oh, well that makes sense. Yes I believe that is the one you referring to. Uncharted is fantastic. You clearly appreciate old school gaming so one recent title I believe you should check is... Dark Souls! There are no words to describe how much I love this game. A true challenge if ever there was one. Rarely is a game so difficult yet fair and insanely fun. Love the videos! Keep 'em coming my man!

[@davidbrobinson1995]

how long did it take you to collect thanks for showing you're collections it's awesome

[@vistigioful]

Never would have guessed that there are that many different types of N64 controllers out there. I'm guessing that you have the majority of all the types out there.

[@SuperEvilduck]

I remember getting the ice colored controller for my 7th birthday :D

[@finngamer]

@Soyerz I use four of the basic colours: blue, black, red and yellow.

[@infiniteascensionn]

I live in Australia, so as a fellow gamer I'll keep a look out for those two missing controllers for you :)

[@Spunkyinternall]

What a Smart Guy...He painted it all by himself. And nobody noticed it XD!

[@50SuperMario]

Green and Black controllers MUST HAVE :D nice vid bro.

[@finngamer]

@Flodder450 The Pokemon emblem on top isn't a sticker, it's printed on there. So it necessarily wasn't a Pokemon controller that you had.

[@UzuchihaProductions]

I got that Pikachu N64 as a birthday present when I was like.. 7 years old xD Best present evar.

[@finngamer]

That kind of colors are easy to make, just screw the bottom off two controllers and swap the colors. I guarantee, there's another controller floating around that's yellow on red. :)

[@doginmylense]

Your N64 hardware is epic. Your first video inspired me to upgrade my N64 to one of the Funtastic systems I have wanted for a long time. I heard that Nintendo modelled the original colours of the controllers after the colours in the olympic rings and the original grey do you know if this is true?

[@finngamer]

@sqdmarcos Without a box, they're pretty much the value you think they are. :) So if you like the colour go ahead and buy it. :)

[@dinkdonk2025]

i never knew these were so rare, i had the original green, the smoke, and the atomic purple

[@finngamer]

Actually neither, it's like a sticker. You can feel the edges, but naturally I haven't tried to peel it. :)

[@finngamer]

I've hunted down and reserached N64 controllers for years, so if one exists, it's not an official Nintendo one. :)

[@KyrisTV]

i got my gold controller when i bought goldeneye :D good times ...

[@hsmboy2]

I really want the Dk64 controller :c It is my favorite game

[@MikeJustesenFilms]

Amazing collection. Every game would kill for these. Simply amazing.

[@Nissehultan]

Awesome stuff Janne cant wait until you complete all the games:D

[@tvandlust]

@Mecha8bit It says Midnight Blue. Atomic Purple says Clear Purple and the Smoke says Clear Black.

[@finngamer]

@yougy101 The transparents are rarer. But if you asked if there are differences between the rarities of solid colours, I think they are all the same except for the gray one as it was bundled with the console.

[@finngamer]

It's just a custom controller someone made, I just collect official ones.

[@finngamer]

There are probably a dozen different controllers that were officially licensed. But I'm just interested in Nintendo's own.

[@NintendoCollecting]

@davem314 Just to let you know, Finngamer probably knows the most about N64 so he is most definitely aware of those products but as he has said he only collects official stuff. The Hori Pads are really quite cool and rare though.

[@finngamer]

A fellow collector offered it to me. Check out the forums of N64 Forever, they have stuff for sale.

[@brickman409]

@finngamer but i remember buying it brand new, years ago. its an official nintendo controller from what i can tell, it has the official nintendo logo and DOL_003 pat. number on it. I looked it up on wikipedia and it says the color combo was japan only, but I bought it at an american store.

[@tgbandroid17]

you know whats the best thing about this video? no dislikes.

[@menglish83]

That is a very impressive collection.

[@aleckermit]

I'M NOT WORTHY!!!! Amazing collection :o

[@finngamer]

@lithium017 Good eyes. :) Yes, the "three lines" are a north European version, (three languages) whereas the one line is what the box looks like in the US and UK.

[@mikethevegetable]

On Amazon, Vintage Games & Antiques is selling the Watermelon controller for 29.00 USD. The store doesn't say whether it's boxed or not, but it's supposedly in very good condition, which I'll assume to mean boxed. You can look at that if you'd like. I'm sure they can ship to you. Amazon has an airline delivery service doesn't it?

[@SawyerIque]

The Toys R Us Gold Controller I Think Now Is Extremely Rare Because The Place Went Out Of Business.

[@finngamer]

@RetroStationSutton Oh, I have seen many special controllers almost like that, but these are always some custom paint job. I'm guessing you don't have a matching box for it, it's just the loose controller? Of course I might be wrong, but I would guess it's just some fan's own customization of the official controller.

[@finngamer]

Thanks, had an old url there. Try it now.

[@BigBonzen]

Janne, i really like your videos. and now i know that the nintendo 64 had really colorful controllers sometimes i wished that there could be some different colors for xbox 360 controllers :( well nice job :) and i think that you will be able to get the missing controllers ;)

[@finngamer]

@brickman409 Do you have a box for it? That would prove authenticity, of course. What do you mean by "standard indigo" color? So it's not like the light blue controllers at 4:12? Those have a clear bottom.

[@webwizard22]

You have a great collection for the N64. As a fellow collector (although my personal preference is the SNES) I always wonder as time goes on, the longer it takes to find things, the more difficult it will become in all aspects, especially CIB. Do you ever start to think as more time passes, the chances of finding all the systems complete and boxed will be reasonable financially, or even possible? I assume you would want all NTSC, PAL, and JAP systems complete? Thanks for sharing..

[@HamboneHugen]

Joysticks on these things run out so quickly! I got my N64 two days ago, so It's still got a long life on my joystick, but need to be wary of this thing, I thought about getting Mario kart but then noticed the outcome of that, so just got Super Mario 64. Ain't getting Mario Kart 64 until I get two controllers, lol.

[@SkedgySky]

11:37 Oh no, you touched it! :O

[@finngamer]

@TheBarkingGnome I didn't, when I started collecting. :) But because of that it has been really rewarding collecting all this.

[@ddr2nite]

Hi finngamer, been a fan of your collections and videos for a long, long time. This is the first time I'm making contact with you as a fellow N64 collector, although I'm only focused strictly on controllers. I noticed that you didn't include a Jusco 30th controller... do you not have one? I'm friends with Mel Spikowski, and I think she + 1 other collector (fwnsp is the name) are the only 2 that I know who have that controller. Thoughts?

[@WillyToons]

@InkosiDeVinyl It's probably a pirate controller, it's not an official one. The ones made by Mad Catz don't count either.
