- In this video I discuss the rarest Nintendo 64 controller which is the transparent Fire Orange Hori Pad Mini. There is only one of these controllers known to exist.

most excellent video Sir! I'm suirprised no one has tried to reproduce it yet.
Hello, you!
Yeah I felt this could be a custom color reproduction. SO many people make custom color versions of Nintendo hardware that look otherwise legit. With no official box or other copies of the controller, it’s kind of hard to confirm that it is legitimate and not a custom reproduction. It would be funny if some essentially Etsy custom seller is laughing at the confusion s/he created. Someone could try to reach out to the Hori company to ask.
noob
Do you have any clue how expensive it is to make such an injection mold and how hard it is to have it indistinguishable from the original? There's zero chance that didn't come out of the original molds.
Was honestly expecting this video to end with the mystery unsolved, but that's amazing Philippe came through with the proof!
Plot twist: He took a clear Horipad shell and dyed it orange to create the elusive color.
lol
F**kin ell'
I confirmed that this is true.
Sonic 2 with a line vibes
@@futurewario9591 the clear horipad is more opaque though
2:18 the snow white hori also has a counterpart but that one never made it to the market publicly. that might also be how the atomic orange horipad happened as well, hori and nintendo are pretty buddy buddy when it comes to making products so there might even be some more unreleased horis in the vault.
Do you have a link for this info?

@@GTM_ thats really cool! Thanks for the link

I want the silver boomerang PlayStation 3 controller they showed off before the system launched...
"If you don't know the story..."
Did ANYONE here know about this before this video?
Snooplax brings you the content you didnt even know you wanted!
Didn't even know these controllers existed.
if you talking bout the hori pad in general then get a tribute 64. the same controller I love it
@@Itsfayd from what i've heard the tribute has cheaper materials and the analog gate isn't accurate.
Gregory Mirabella when you watch review videos those are for people who speed run, in a casual player, I have no joy stick issues at all. But now I use the admiral wireless controller. I like wireless controllers best
@@Itsfayd i heard it from nintendrew, he's not exactly a speedrunner from what i've seen.
Gregory Mirabella I heard it from him too. That’s why I got the tribute 64. it’s crazy how perspective is lol. After about 50 hours of playing n64 on it id say I like it and it’s still running good no issues for me.
A tattoo of a controller? Now I’ve seen it all.
I see Hori Pads used by some SM64 speed runners. It's interesting because the layout seems much more comfortable. Using the Retail N64 controllers today is always an exercise in nostalgia.
Very cool! I love Hori MIni Pad's so much. I've got a purple one and a black one, paid under $50 USD each years ago. Would love to get a yellow one but can't easily justify the price especially since my n64 is broken...
Great vid snoop! At 3:38 the solid green one is missing as there are 2 white ones, but regardless its still cool af!!
It's like a beta GameCube controller
I love your variety yet quality of content, keep it up!
sheeeeit. mystery solved, good stuff.
Sort of. Would still like to find out more about it..
HORI was an OEM for Nintendo at some point. I'm pretty certain that in the Super Famicom days, they did actually manufacture official first party branded controllers, I know they manufactured OEM spec video cables. I'm not quite sure if they manufactured first party controllers for the N64, but them ever having the approval from Nintendo to make first party controllers explains their high quality compared to other licensed manufacturers. To this day I still feel like HORI makes more substantial controllers than their counterparts.😊
finngamer has it locked in his safe deposit box...
There’s a transparent organge n64 gamepad called “Daiei Hawks” apparently. It’s back plate is smoke gray though.
Interesting, so it was a prototype unlike the other released hori controllers.
Well this video came out four years ago. Have there been any more of those controllers discovered?
I like how yt recommended this 2 me
I thought there was only like 5 diffrerent Nintendo 64 controllers.
How well does this controller play Kirby 64 with that d-pad spacing
If you are playing any game that uses the D Pad just use a regular N64 controller, dont even bother with the Hori for that
Snooplax made a great video on this topic
I remember that AVGN xylophone vid from back in the day, James included it in one of the AVGN episodes I think. Didn't know that was you!
which vid is that
3:21 i never thought i would leboncoin on youtube, its so obscure and french exclusive, i thought i would never see leboncoin pop up on youtube, EVER.
Had no idea this existed...
You could ask the guy to open it up, if it's a prototype it should have dates stamped into the plastic earlier than the production ones.
A friend of mine has a Hori pad mini in yellow. He never uses it, and it saddens me. I would put so much use to the thing.
I love the Hori's man.. It's the best controller ever!! I have 5 variations at the moment and I can't wait to have them all😄
The control stick on the hori controller looks just like the one on the GameCube actually.
I hope you guys all have a great new year in 2020...
😂😭
hell yeah snooplax time
i’m gonna steal it steal it
white one that was modded.. there are dye's for this the white plug is a total give away on this DIY mod.
OH MY GOSH I DIDN’T KNOW!!
Welll, i would get a hori pad mini, but they be expensive so the tribute 64 will do just fine.
It might be a false memory, but in the late 2000s or so I was looking for one of these and I saw an orange something or the other hori mini pad and i didn't buy it because it was a mind boggling EXPENSIVE $27. I miss old vidya prices... yknow... If no one has made a reproduction yet, then if I had the initial capital I would 100% get on that myself.
Narrator: "They did NOT have a good 2020"
Clickbait but i can't claim I'd do any better. Thumbnail makes it seem like this DESIGN only had one production unit made, vs it being a special color
What's the music used in 2:45 onwards?
Green Garden from Bomberman 64.
I swear I have seen one though!
Someone could now make wannabe copies of it. I know it won't be the real one, but if it is done right, we will get a nice color.
Imagine being me, googling for one of these to casually buy for $130 maybe. Instead I get my hope let down, and for free too! What more could you ask for?
what is the music name at 0:01
Hori is what Mad Catz tried to be and failed as Hori cares about quality while Mad Catz only cared about making money.
Lmao he read out «leboncoin» as «le bone coin» smh fam
I fell for the hype on these N64 Hori mini pads, imported one thinking that my analog wear worries are now over, but turned out this stick barely works. Doesn't respond to movements at certain angles, there's no way to calibrate it, needless to say it's worthless and performs worse than a heavily worn official first party OG stick. Money wasted, what a stupid thing to tattoo on yourself.
Could've been custom made. I'm sure it could still be custom made with the right tecj
Hah, nice try theists. This is a clear sign of evolution. It's an N64 controller turning into a Gamecube controller. Its nature at it's finest.
Looks like a game cube.
Backside...
Plug...
😂
Play Smash 64 with it
The green hori is missing from his set, so its not perfect.
I should know this but what is the song in the beginning of the video
What does 2nd party mean? Do you mean 3rd party or am I dumb?
2nd parties are companies that partially own the company. Think about Insomniac Games making games for just Sony.
Meanwhile, 3rd parties don't own any of the company at all. They just make different controllers and games for different consoles.
Him: " i will pay you a lot of money "
Other guy: " who said i want money"
bro u know the music name at the start???
@@poggooficial6266 Astral Observatory from Majora's Mask.
That tattoo was a waste of money. Money he could have used to invest in more hori pads!!!!
New video please! I don't have 5 hours to watch a stream 😊
This is a cool controller... but there is one flaw, in my opinion.
I HATE the placement of the d-pad!
It is garbage for any fighting game.. WAY too close to the action buttons, and at an extremely odd angle in relation to them, as well.
For Mario 64?
Or really any other game which uses the analog stick as it's default control scheme? Yeah, it's a great controller.
But for MK4, MK Trilogy, any of the AKI/THQ wrestling games, or any other game which relies more on using the d-pad?
Yeah... it sucks.
Whats the background music used in this video

Imagine being an enthusiast about this.
Someone could've just made it lol it wouldn't be that ridiculous I mean I bet a decent 3d printer could make it and if is the only one made and has a clear plug it was probably just custom made. Don't get me wrong it's dope af but I don't think it was made when the others were u can tell it's more modern.
Yes thats possible but nothing is proven and very unlikely, also why do you say it looks more modern? It looks exactly like the other Hori pads.. and according to one of the previous sellers as stated in the video, they got it from a seller in Japan, which would make sense since these controllers were exclusive to Japan.
@@chepclark2706 I think the material used for the plug looked newer hence the clear part and something about the controller reminds me of a custom controller I used to have for gamecube from this one website that would make u anything u want. I forget the name but it still exists just look up custom gamecube controller and it will be one of top results. But the plastic looks like it was made after original hori's.
I disagree.
Nintendo 64 Controller colors
No it's the ultra 64 Controller that's the rarest
There's several of those that have surfaced, and they were distributed to developers pre-release... They're rare, bit not that rare.
Hey men hello
let me play with your joystick uwu
Arent they making aftermarket versions though? Which kind of make the value.... Not valuable?
I think I might've seen it somewhere on the internet before but I don't know for sure
Me too! Unless it was just a red one
Or yellow one
You might be mistaking it for the Brawler 64, as it has an orange variant
@@chepclark2706 that is very possible
It's second party, so...
So? Doesn't make these controllers any less desirable
Hori is such a dog shit 2nd party, controller, has no motion control, no rumble, can’t use it wireless, garbage.
Used to be different
Forget that, its basic analog movement function doesn't even work. I could live without all those fancy bells and whistles (they're not advertised to be in the product so I don't know what you expected) but at least give me a functioning controller dammit. As it is, this thing is e-waste.
Nuh-uh! The connector isn't even the same color as the controller, like the other ones! It's a repro!
C'mon, why would Hori do that?
