The Rarest N64 Consoles

[@luigixroxas]

A couple years ago I got a pikachu ng4 with 10 Mario games for $5 because my friend wanted to buy Chinese food and didn't have money

[@rexapis2125]

luigixroxas Is he a stoner, lol

[@smackclonky9067]

Wow

[@lilith5865]

Lmao

[@Impetuss]

So you exploited your friend

[@goosekevin]

You suck at words

[@nathangitz2674]

Gotta say... the Pikachu variant's the most impressive to me. Whereas all the others are mostly recolors, the Pikachu one actually adds something to make it stand out. Pikachu etched on the right side, his foot as the reset button, and a Pokeball as the power switch. THAT is how you theme a console.

[@mrphrog445]

i got the pikachu one as a hand-me down

[@blakeloss802]

I got the jungle green with dk at a garage sale for five dollars

[@deefhead9684]

Blake Loss what a steal!!!

[@mohawkdoesmc2847]

I got one for free but it actually is an ice blue one.

[@piratefreak07]

Ahhhhh!!!!!! What a deal!!! :'( I miss my N64 and Banjo Kazooie

[@MrDube]

I have the Ice Blue color! :)

[@xehP]

woah nice, i got one for £2.50 but it was regular.

[@BenmillerIceWolfVideos]

I know this post comes late but if you didn't find the information you were asking about I might be able to help. As you suspected the Rose and Ultra versions of the consoles officially were never produced for purchase. Ultra 64 was the code name for the system but simply became the Nintendo 64 when it finally released. As far as the rose color it was a variant along with 11 others that were made as prototypes for Nintendo of Europe. Out of these 11 came the Funtastic series with rose being omitted. I couldn't find anything about the N64 with atomic purple controller going for crazy money (the highest I saw was $1,400).

[@LuisAPeregrina]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hamadqGVmL50l5o This guy says he owns an Ultra 64 and has a sticker on the consople to prove it

[@lordpyrrole1881]

Poliwhirl is on the decal of the Pokemon N64 because the favorite Pokemon of Satoshi Tajiri, the creator of Pokemon.

[@eeefox1]

surprised you did not get a reply for that one. cool fact

[@valkyriesprites4208]

¿ ya I never knew that

[@newphilmz3605]

Poliwhirl was a main pokemon in the manga

[@moretrash4you]

Comment has 64 likes! Hopefully people keep it there lol

[@meepMepp]

I have the clear black n64. My mom got it at a flea market for 2$ with the games mario kart 64 and mario party 2, i think she got a really good deal.

[@PKwooper8281]

PurpleTea Rose 5:55 so this one?

[@v3ck1n]

Considering both of those games sell for upwards of $40 each I would say so

[@mycattookmykfc1488]

Meep Meep conkors bad fur day

[@zoinkiezz]

I had one, 2nd and Charles bought mine from a 12 year old me for $20. I can’t believe stuff like that isn’t illegal. There should be a law saying you must disclose the price of an item if you’re making an offer and the seller of the item is unaware of the value. Especially if it’s from a minor or an elderly person, and especially if you’re not an individual buyer.

[@RafaelMunoz1337]

I remember a couple years ago, there was a developers kit on sale on ebay. It was basically N64 hardware with connectors and hardware inside a clear acrylic case.

[@FCFordLord]

All the prices are BNIB. Most can be found used, without box but all accessories, for around $100 or less. with box, add $20 or so. My N64 is a green funtastic. Have the matching controller, transluscent purple controller, memory upgrade, etc.

[@thiagovidal6137]

My favourite still the original black with grey controller. lol

[@thiagovidal6137]

Alex Wright lol! what?

[@thiagovidal6137]

Alex Wright matte black is never boring. =D

[@ZNemerald]

+Thiago Vidal I got that and a matte green :)

[@DarkshadowXD63]

Still like my original purple with the purple and black controller

[@Fesiug]

yeah it looks nice and original.

[@Nintendo_Freak8x]

3:20 I see this N64 in a second hand shop

[@Playahstation]

Polywhirl is sick, don't hate on the prepubescent frog.

[@conman7127]

Playah he’s the creator of Pokémon’s favorite Pokémon

[@deefhead9684]

I had 3 of the clear colored ones! I had the black clear, the purple clear, and the blue clear. I also had a plain old one with a clear purple controller. I didn't have them all at once, though. Some of them, my cousin gave it to me because he didn't want them anymore. I don't have them anymore though. I lost them all when I moved. Never realized they were rare.. hm.

[@Ryo]

my friend got the watermelon red with games for 35 bucks.. what a steal

[@chestosneakoinc]

I feel like eating the N64 like a watermelon. Too bad it's only plastic and not juicy. :/

[@mariomario813]

+Chestosneako Inc rofl

[@Evan420]

lol

[@Fender178]

I remember Nintendo having a contest where you had a chance of winning a n64 gold controller through Nintendo Power. All you had to do is complete Zelda Link to the Past in one sitting without saving your game and having a final score of 000. You took a picture of the TV with the 000 showing on the screen.

[@Dajawright]

The funtastic N64s are at my flea market and they're being sold for 100$ each!

[@macho10101]

Funny how the Ice blue nintendo 64 is pretty common in my country.. Whenever i look up on used n64's i mostly see the ice blue one.. for like 30-50 euro..

[@keigenhunt1177]

Macho ツ what country are you? That one is my favorite

[@NextGenesis88]

Yeah I got one for cheap at a flea market almost brand new condition in America. I’m pissed I don’t know what happened to it and all my games. Think someone claimed it all.

[@cecillewolters1995]

Where can I buy those? Can’t find those in The Netherlands

[@hankl8168]

That is in the netherlands too! Only ice blue and gray

[@azzmcghee1761]

I own a usa gold n64. with two gold controllers... I had no idea they were rare. its just been sitting under my bed for a couple years now....

[@hachimitsu9730]

Would you sell it for 1 million US dollars?

[@leepenkins3268]

I would wanna gt it if it was still available

[@imDBryant]

Hey! I have the gold N64! My sister got it when it came out when she was younger and we still have it, fully functional with a controller and even super mario 64 too.

[@dominickfavaloro3092]

Devin Shamel I have the original one with super Mario 64

[@oliverdelgado6952]

Lucky !

[@Burnteh]

I just wanted to say that I think it's really nice that you take the time to reply to most of the comments you get, and I love your videos! Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to the next one! Also, Canadian pride

[@exklimexklim]

Yea today this think is over $1000 USD 5 years later maybe $2000

[@saltytortoise7249]

My childhood friend's dad always traveled to Japan on business trips and loved video games. I know he for sure had the JUSCO N64 and I think I've seen other systems he had on your other list. Haven't talked to him in like 10 years...wonder if he knows what they're worth

[@powergannon]

I remember polywhirl being used in marketing and design a lot actually. It was on the front cover of the official Pokemon encyclopedia for some reason

[@woop6727]

Hey, I have that Pikachu N64!

[@tastyreviews5787]

Good job

[@johnisdaboi27]

Lol me too!

[@heinrichdeutlich6795]

i have 4 original pikachu n64‘s, all originally sealed in their package :D when ps2 came out, a shop in our city sold them for 25 bucks.

[@heinrichdeutlich6795]

Okay, im from Germany. How much are you willing to pay? I guess shipping wont be cheap also, since the package is pretty big. Greets

[@KanchomeGamer]

2:14 Here in Brazil was also released at the time these versions of consoles, I had Transparent Purple :)

[@totallymady42069]

:o I own the pikachu edition Edit: I have worn my joystick out (up/Right) :/

[@XNinjaRancorX]

Totallymady Same!!! Got it for $25 at a flea market a few years back

[@deleted2916]

Totallymady me too

[@totallymady42069]

Damn that's a steal

[@heinrichdeutlich6795]

Yeah nintendo 64 and gamecube controllers have a really bad durability, a few years back i opened a n64 controller and all the mechanics under the joystick where made from plastic :(

[@OuchMyHooves]

I literally 3d printed a watermelon red raspberry pi case before this video, and I'm shocked how it's the rarest out of the funtastic series.

[@187mrsmith]

Damn I wish I could go back in time or would of saved all my stuff from when I was a kid I'd be rich now but I wouldn't of had no fun back then 🤔🤐😂

[@Jsziminski1773]

That DK Music at the beginning used to terrify me as a child

[@amyo]

I got my grape funtastic for $25 at half price books. 200-300? boooooy

[@Royboy140]

+yung amy Was it in box?

[@amyo]

no.

[@Royboy140]

Ah, usually with collectors items in box and new is what makes most of its value. Still awesome tho as the grape fantastic is one of the coolest N64s around! :)

[@Magicarpmaster]

+Royboy140 Might as well buy used if you are actually gonna play it. I dont personally see the point of buying a console and letting it sit in the box.

[@amyo]

Magicarpmaster i agree 100000%

[@JustACoupleOGamers]

@RandomTens and for all those who may be interested the Atomic Purple is actually being sold at a video game world in Charlette NC :) price is around $400-$450

[@Royboy140]

Great Video once again Stan! This video really did take me back, especially since the N64 I own is a NA Gold edition ;) I never knew how rare it really was so this really does change my perspective on it!

[@RandomTens]

Thanks a ton for watching Rb! Can't wait to check out your new review!

[@jakeken9866]

+RandomTens I own a North American gold as well

[@bluephreakr]

Money always does that.

[@AlienHats]

when i was about 6 or 7, like 7 years ago. my dad gave me his old n64 as we couldnt afford a newer system like the wii. it was the default black console. with the violet or purple funtastic controller.

[@ArcaneToaster]

This video made me expand.

[@RandomTens]

Expand your thirst for gaming knowledge? :O

[@OddSauce]

[@renegade1298]

Also, I had 3 atomic purple controllers. I personally love the n64. I actually got it when i was 8 back in 2011.

[@Jack-gl1tw]

OMG I have both the watermelon red and the transparent green I did not know that they were rare

[@drfrog4]

theyre only rare if they're bnib. out of box theyre worth maybe $20 more than the original 64

[@QuintetMagician]

I saw the dark blue pikachu console at the con i went to recently! They also had some bootlegged gba games. It was so cool. I totally would have taken one home with me if I'd had the money :P

[@RedSalamander]

"I mean, seriously, it's Poliwhirl." Back when Pokemon first appeared in North America, Poliwhirl was a Pokemon who was heavily shown in various merchandise. It was Red's first Pokemon in the Pokemon Adventures / Special manga, it was one of the noodle shapes in Kraft Pokemon macaroni (along with Pikachu, Meowth, Jigglypuff, Squirtle, and Charmander), and it just popped up in various other toys and things. And yet, despite pushing Poliwhirl so hard, it had little presence in the cartoon for a long time. It took until Orange Islands before any of its family played a noteworthy role in any episode, when Poliwhirl's evolved form Poliwrath handed Ash's arrogant Charizard its first true defeat. Then at the end of Orange Islands, Misty caught a Poliwag she used pretty frequently in the early parts of Johto until it finally evolved into a Poliwhirl. Yeah, took until Gen 2 for Poliwhirl to have even an episodic role in the cartoon.

[@unusuality7180]

God damn Nintendo 64 gold edition cost more that my Xbox one

[@Hentaikidgamerroblox]

I would choose xbox xd cus u can play nintendo 64 on pc anyways

A gold n64 just went for 1900 on eBay. I was in the auction but I lost lol

[@micbr508]

I have the Australian Pokemon Stadium Battle Set console and controller, but I believe mine came with Pokemon Snap in what was called the "Pokemaniac Bundle". We purchased it sometime in 1999 or 2000, and it took a hammering over the years, being constantly played from new until the console stopped working in 2012. It was repaired with Nintendo ex-service spare parts and cleaned in January of this year, and it now looks and functions like a new one again. Wouldn't trade it for anything at this point. Still my favourite console by far.

[@xinksly]

My cousin has the Jocus one.

[@ThatGuyWhoFanDubs]

I looked over to my gold N64 on the shelf and smiled. Glad I saved it.

I have that gold controller but not the console :/

[@kelnsky]

+Robert Machulla By pretty valuable, he means around $30 a pop, max. Unfortunately, not likely to find a buyer at that price.

[@ozzie.mogo06]

I have the gold console and I have 4 controllers.

[@shortcircut1sprkplg]

Osvaldo Mogollon dont sell it

[@MatthewPerovic]

I think the gold controllers are more common because they were bundled with Goldeneye 007. That's where I got mine (in Australia). I also have the Australian Pokemon console too :D

[@gh0st731]

I have a Clear Red console with the white base. I had it imported ,put in a region free tray, swapped the faceplate with the Ultra64 logo, and I ordered purple led lights to solder in the controller ports. It’s gonna be sick when they come in. I got mine in box lightly used, and the controller’s great!

I realized my cousin has the clear black :O

[@newphilmz3605]

There was a clear black console released in the funtastic line that the video didn't show, he showed the controller tho. It's much more common than the last rare one.

[@bewearstar9462]

I think I have it

[@toddtj]

The reason Polywhirl is featured on that decal is possibly because in the original pokemon manga Polywhirl is Red's very first Pokemon. I thought you might find that interesting.

I owned a gold N64 briefly. My father and I bought it in 2000 at Toys R Us and at the time it was the only variety they had of N64's so we reluctantly bought it. I remember not playing it for too long before the gamecube came out the next year.

[@D13dashow]

Hey I actually had the rarest on this list as a kid. Til this day I wish I knew where it was. I didn't know it was that rare. Hopefully I bump into again someday looking through storage or something.

[@kidwajagstang]

Wouldn’t think that anyone would put a video game console on their grocery list. And even if a person planned on getting a new console, chances are they went to an electronics store, toy store, or video game retailer to pick it up. Not sure if it’s universal or if the same coincidence would apply to that grocery chain, but often when I do look at toys at grocery stores, when they do happen to carry popular action figures or some actual quality toys besides the typical cheap and generic or poor imitation toys usually found there, they are also priced higher than the toy store sells them for. Given the typical cheap quality toys carried at grocery stores and the higher markup, that alone could dissuade people from purchasing a game console at those stores. Also, I would imagine many people probably assumed they were bootleg, imitation, or counterfeit systems and not the real thing.

[@CrackBerryAddict]

I've had a gold N64 since I was four years old. I had no idea how rare it is!

[@sinkzscs]

Not rare unfortunately, 30 bucks in japan.

[@pirate_man6969]

[@blackmonkee975]

My mom gave me her jungle green n64 but it didn’t have dk but I went to a store that sells old games and I bought it with the expansion pak

[@megamegaO]

3:47 It's probably because Poliwhirl was going to be the main mascot of the Pokemon games....Hence the Poliwhirl in the front of the TIME magazine.

Shey Cameron They probably will in the future

[@Smosh8Bit]

They have to, bc the NES and SNES classic systems sold really well, and Nintendo has been listening to what people have wanted the past few years, even more than they have, Nintendo is the company I feel listens to their fans and gives them what they want more so than Sony or Microsoft, they've really turned it around with the switch

[@Gigidag77]

The Daieihawks orange model is the best looking n64 i've ever seen

[@theweridothatyouhaveseenso4486]

Fun fact: the reason why poliworl (I butchered that) is on a lot of old Pokémon merchandise is because it is the creators favorite Pokémon

[@thelegendtl]

3:23 There’s another version of the same console called The Pokemaniac Set

[@rickydargence5948]

I THINK that back then they truly wanted to push Poliwhirl as a signature pokémon is a lot of media, it was the first pokémon Red got in the Pokémon Manga, and it was also featured in may pieces of merchandise, like cereal boxes, but strangely enough, it wasn't a very relevant pokémon in the Anime.

[@randmiller88]

I bought the black one back in 1996 and the Jungle Green one with a matching controller a few years later. I only have the latter one, but it still works great --- just used it last week.
