Ive been searcing for that bleach ds for maybe a decade now, and this is the first time ive ever heard someone else mention it. Nice video!

[@IndohNintendo]

A separate video for the new 3ds faceplates would be sweet. Many of them have become ridiculously expensive.

[@LeBoomStudios]

There were at least two different versions of the translucent 2DS, as the red and blue variants were also bundled with Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, respectively. There were a few minor differences to those released for the Pokemon gen1 release on the e-shop, including grey buttons instead of colored ones.

[@kikicat7775]

I have a game boy colour with Pikachu and Pichu on it. It came in a bundle with pokemon gold. My mum bought it for my birthday in 2001,when it released. I have still to this Day,22 years later. It's beautiful ❤️

[@YehWright]

Torchic has a faint torchic silohette print on the front, but it's really not visible unless you view it under specific lights or angles.

[@xayners]

Before life went downhill for me, I used to be able to collect limited edition consoles and it was nice while it lasted. I have a Pokémon Diamond and Pearl DS Lite, the red Mario DSi XL, the Zelda 3DS you mentioned in this video, the Pikachu 3DS XL, the Pikavee Nintendo Switch and the Animal Crossing Switch. Honestly I'm on the fence about the Zelda 3DS. I know a lot of collectors would be happy to have it, and I can count the amount of Zelda titles I've played with one hand, but it was my first and only original 3DS model and I've got the Kingdom Hearts 3D collector's edition cover on it.

[@egonyt]

Wow that sounds like quite the collection, I know at least for me I deeply regretted getting rid of some of the first gaming items I received (wii games, ds lite, breaking my first 3ds), so even if you no longer use the zelda 3ds I'm sure it still means a lot to you

[@RetroGenesis_]

Bruh, how does this only have 300 views?!?! The quality is heavenly

[@egonyt]

Thank you! I wanted to try out a new video style and now all I gotta do is wait and see if it sticks!

[@RetroGenesis_]

I'm sure it will!

[@braderley]

I grew up in Europe, with the black and gold ocarina designs. I remember asking my mum to buy me it when I was a kid in toys r us, purely because there was this giant cardboard display of just the box art and I asked for it because of how sucked in I was. I really don’t understand why NTSC packaging is usually different, and in a worse way too. Great video mate :)

[@egonyt]

I think it's neat that all 3 regions ended up having different boxes for the console. I'll always be a bit biased toward the NTSC boxes and their nice gradient but I have to admit, the European version makes it hard for me to keep doing that. Also, thank you so much!

[@razgrizgaming]

I just started youtube but i wish i had your skills, great video and I too am a handheld collector!

[@Robert-vk5nu]

I own the New 3DS XL SNES Edition (PAL/European design) and I absolutely love it. I put a clear acrylic case on it to protect it but without hiding it's beauty and always keep it in a case when it's not used. All of the original packaging is kept as well, of course. :). Might not be particularly rare, but it's mine and I love it. :)

[@egonyt]

I’ve always preferred the EU SNES variant simply because it has those colorful buttons rather than the dulled out purple that the US version has

[@SonnyDoodles]

Ok but my fave bundle was the Nintendo DS Lite Personal Trainer: Cooking Special Edition. It's super lime green and comes with this awesome little pouch and a cooking game! I love the pikachu consoles, his face is so sweet and i love yellow!

[@Fundores]

Some of these are so neat. I’d love to have any special edition handheld

[@Solways64]

How do you only have 184 subscribers?!!?! You deserve at LEAST 100k subs. MINIMUM.

[@MarcoBeSomething]

Great video. I love my pokeball 2DS XL, you can actually push the button on the top of the console. It does nothing but it’s cool nonetheless.

[@santiagopieri9987]

This channel is going to have a lot of suscribers and likes also visits in a few months,this channel deserves more

[@hirakatashii]

I have the Hylian edition 2DS XL and it is glorious. Picked it up a month or two ago for a pretty decent deal. I also have a soft spot for the OG Pikachu 3DS XL, it was my first 3DS console and I still have it and its original box to this day. The design is simple but I love it.

[@theinternetofficer6594]

love how every handheld youtuber just doesnt wanna talk about the switch

[@Akaykimuy]

i've got a Monster Hunter 4 N3DSXL that I bought new old-stock from a Japanese ebay vendor for less than 70€. It's beautiful

[@egonyt]

That’s such a nice looking console!

[@glacial_stars]

the torchic gba sp does actually have a tiny silhouette of torchic on the top of the console, it's hard to see through pics online but it's quite apparent in person

[@austingood22]

Great video! May I add a suggestion? Maybe add in a price estimate or a last sold on for price. Thanks again for the good video. That NBA OG Game Boy is super cool!

[@egonyt]

Great suggestion! Although for a few of these it's pretty hard to find a price... but if I ever do something similar in the future I'll implement it!

[@Thunderweavers]

I actually have the Mario & Luigi Dream Team 3DS XL! I'm surprised that you referenced it

[@jikim3422]

You didn't mention any of the Pokemon Game Boy Color special editions. There are so many of them too. I still have my game boy color that came with Pokemon Yellow.

Excellent vid as per usual amigo!

I share the same sentiment with your content

@@egonyt I'm honored!

[@Poyostar]

Great video! Sadly I don't own any rare consoles or handhelds of my own... but there is one I am very much aware about that didn't appear in this video due to how elusive it is, that being the official Klonoa GameBoy Advance model, which is so rare that next to zero images of it exist online. The only trace of its existence is an image of it from an issue of the CoroCoro Comic magazine, specifically a 2002 issue, where it was among several Klonoa prizes that could be won from a scratch-off contest. It even came with a strap that had a design based on Klonoa's floppy-ears! I'm no expert on these kinds of things, so I don't know if this particular GBA is truly the rarest officially released GBA model... but for me atleast, yeah, this is the Holy Grail of GBA models. Major props to Klonoa @ Blog on Tumblr for preserving its existence in a way.

[@egonyt]

Oh Wow! If it really does exist I would love for some info about it to pop up online, but even the idea of a limited 1/1 Klonoa GBA is insane!

[@FiercedeityBrad]

I own most of the 3ds xl/ new 3ds/new 3ds xl special editions NIB, my pride is the amazon exclusive lime green new 3ds xl that came bundled with super mario world.

[@packers12to80]

Ill never forget when i snagged the zelda 2dsxl. Worth a decent amount. But i dont see myself ever selling it. Its cib too. I recently put it away and just use my new 3dsxl instead. My whole collection will go to my son when i pass, what he does with it...its up to him. But i will 100% haunt him if he doesn't at the very least sell it all for a massive amount 😂

[@3dmoviemaker850]

GTA Chinatown Wars DS is my favourite!

[@anthonyjdm1578]

The Torchic GBA SP does have a silhouette of torchic on the top its just very hard to see.

[@egonyt]

huh, in every picture I've viewed I couldn't find one, maybe I just missed it. But still, wouldn't you want the theme of the console to be apparent?

[@anthonyjdm1578]

@@egonyt yeah it’s not easy to spot but it is there. I agree with you the silhouette on it is way to hidden you can’t even tell .

[@mlansh]

VERY good video, subscribed, keep it up.

[@jarrettbellboy]

Great video! I have the golden Zelda Advance SP, not sure where you got the 300 number for. They regularly sell for about $150 used. I think the correct number is 25,000.

[@egonyt]

It was the bundle with the beanie and shirt that was limited to 300!

[@jarrettbellboy]

@@egonyt got it

[@stvnoahc7249]

My favorite 3ds xl is the super famicom one followed by the snes edition. I wish Nintendo made more special edition switches or switch lites…

[@codinginflow]

Really high quality and entertaining video. Keep doing these und you'll get big 👍🏻

[@pocketjedi6675]

Whats good EGon! I was surprised at the end, when u were talking about the new 2ds xl, u didnt bring the animal crossing one up! Look it up, its stunning! As for the new 3ds, when ur gonna dig more into it, ur gonna be crazy! So many cool and beautiful packs of this one. And the fact there werent too many in the US and more in europe, make them rarer. Look up for example for the alpha sapphire new 3ds pack (europe exclusive), with pikachu exclusive cover plates inside! Or even the korean new 3ds mario edition with exclusive and magnificent cover plates! Take care bro!

[@egonyt]

It is an incredible looking console, it flew under my radar due to it being Japanese exclusive but regardless it’s still very nice. In terms of the new 3ds, I might end up talking about it but not too soon since I don’t want to be known as the “handhelds guy” Thanks!

[@pocketjedi6675]

@@egonyt thank u for taking the time to answer! If ur talking about the animal crossing new 2ds xl, its not a japanese exclusive! Also was a european release if u wanna grab it and mod it, u'll enjoy it! Take care!

[@greedpower565]

There's a bleach nintedo ds? Im definitely gonna need that console

[@egonyt]

I wish you all the luck in finding one

[@Frieowksf1293]

8:25 I actually didn't have a DS growing up, my parents said I couldn't have one

[@cosmiclink661]

Just an FYI about the Gold Zelda GBA. There is a bit of misinformation here regarding this console. The limited big box version which you pictured was a club Nintendo Europe exclusive release available through the Club Nintendo Points Store of only which there were 300 made. However the gold console included in the big box was also available for general retail purchase when Minish Cap launched. The Golden Console which was advertised as a golden ticket prize, the tickets were allegedly only available inside the boxes of the retail Limited Edition consoles sold at stores, and not inside game boxes.

[@egonyt]

I see, I apologize for not clarifying, it was difficult figuring out since there were so many conflicting accounts as to where the console came from!

[@cosmiclink661]

@@egonyt No problem. I guess that information about the golden console and the competition at the time gets lost to time. I only remember as I was a teenager at the time dying to be one of the lucky golden ticket finders when receiving my Minish Cap SP Console for Christmas. 🫣 Would have been a really “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” moment. Glad I was able to impart some knowledge. 😊

[@ilylilylilypad]

I used to have the Zelda 3ds and sold it a long time ago… I regret it to this day 😭

Mmmmm I love buying me some 3DS variants even though they'll just sit on a shelf :P

[@dannybz7421]

I just bought a Japanese new Nintendo 3ds w the charizard faceplate and it’s my favorite console so far. My buddy has the ocarina of time 3ds xl he wants to sell me and I might have to add it to my collection VERY soon. I love Zelda and have the wind waker Wii U and the gold ds lite. I want to add all the Zelda consoles to my collection soon and I will.

[@egonyt]

I’ve always wanted to build up my collection of Zelda consoles and it’s always so tempting to buy them when I see them but sadly I need to save

[@megapokesonicx]

Why did you not mention the dope Kingdom Hearts ones? And the Rockman EXE GBA

[@muhdazrin3038]

The Nintendo 3DS 2012 monster hunter also limited edition

[@egonyt]

They came out with so many monster hunter variants and they all look great

[@Vtexgames]

Zelda SP was just a retail item tho, atleast in europe

I got the Majoras Mask N3dsxL and Hylian Shield N2DSxL

Then become Pokémon??? not only does it do all that, IT CAN DOCK IN AND OUT OF YOUR CAR!!!! It’s the ultimate backseat BABYSITTER!!!! It comes with a top notch Bluetooth controller, which has the ability to play on more than 1 system at once. THIS ALLOWS EASY SHINY HUNTING. but get this. Want to trade Pokémon??? YOU CAN IT HAS A PORT FOR THAT. I bet your thinking now: “oh that’s great coflyer but like what about playing it on the big screen….” WELL GUESS WHAT??? It has a VIDEO OUTPUT!!!! All of this is encased in BEAUTIFUL SILVER SHELL which I’ve never seen not in amazing condition. IF YOU EVER.
