    If you were interested in looking into more rare Nintendo consoles, I highly reccomend the website I used to research: consolevariations.com
    There's a lot of consoles I talked about, but there's even more bangers on the site, that I just didn't talk about. (Like that Dominoes PS5 from the beginning of the video)
    If you're geniuenly interested in the variants I talked about I reccomend checking out more on their website ♥

      hey so i actually posted the metroid cube in a metroid group im in, and believe it or not i got some info from an actual winner of that variant. he states he won his in 2005 from a website giveaway called P-nintendo. Second prize was a GBA SP with a custom Metroid Decal. he sold it to a french youtuber by the name of backintoystv!

    It's not as rare as the DSs discussed in this video but I'm the proud owner of a limited edition Pepsi DS
    1000 of these uniquely colored consoles were given away in Japan in 2005 as a promotion for Pepsi Twist. Each one came with the console in it's own aluminum case and with a pair of Pepsi earbuds. It goes so hard and I'm glad my nearly four year search to find one worked out 😤

    That GBA with the guys signature across it was Dave Mira, one of the best BMX riders ever, who took his own life in 2016. Just figured id point that out. May have just wanted to get some money for charity and make his GBA more desirable. He was a complex dude from what ive heard. Worth mentioning he also was confirmed to have CTE, but also (Like Tony Hawk, the other GBA) did a ton for charity.

    The Virtual Boy's development was just sad. Gunpei Yokoi (aka the creator of the Game Boy, the creator of the cross shape you see on D-pads, Metroid, Game & Watch, Kid Icarus, etc) was in charge of it and he KNEW this thing was a disaster and needed more work but Nintendo just had to get it out the door, so Yokoi ended up taking the blame for its failure and definitely quit of his own free will and wasn't made a public sacrifice. And then he got hit by a car and died, but not before creating the Tamagotchi and the Wonderswan.

    Yo as a German I'm super happy you mentioned N-Zone. I know it's only for context but that gaming magazine was my JAM as a kid. They always had multiple people review a game and then told you which types of games these people liked, that way you could triangulate whether you might like it as well. Such a simple concept that nowadays wouldn't fly for 1 gaming outlet. Just get reviews out ASAP.

I now have to do something similar by viewing multiple reviews on TH-cam by people whose takes I know and then watch it but few youtubers have a "synposis: I am not an RPG guy, I still loved paper mario the thousand year door, was an 8/10 for me" type of sentence attached to their reviews heh.

    I was the one who emailed the distributor and acquired the pictures of the Animal Crossing summer DS. According to the employee I spoke to all four systems were given to the distributor by Nintendo and given out as contest prizes. However the information about who won them was deleted. That goes against the story about the autumn one though, unless it was some sort of contest for different game stores to participate in.

    A minor correction or update about those "seasonal" DS's in case anyone was curious, they were a part of a sweepstakes ran by Nintendo's official supplier to the Scandinavian countries. Im pretty sure two of them have been located and still owned by the original winners and as reported correctly in this video, the summer one was never found and is believed to have never been given away through the sweepstakes.
    A really good TH-camr i highly recommend named LSupersonicQ specializes in lost media content has done videos showcasing those DS's

    There were also 7 Game Boy Advance SPs that were plated in 24-karat gold and released in the UK in 2004 for the launch of Zelda: The Minish Cap. A total of 6 of them were hidden among the 25,000 "Zelda Limited Edition Pak" bundles that were sold, and 1 was given away via a UK website giveaway. None of the winners were ever revealed.

    Nintendo Advanced Video System (AVS), 1984 -- like the forthcoming NES, but was also to feature a computer keyboard, musical piano keyboard, light gun and data cassette recorder (all of these, along with the joystick, were infrared wireless), with only the light gun remaining from the original planned lineup (a piano keyboard accessory did appear years later for the NES but from a third-party: the Miracle Piano Teaching System from Software Toolworks). Was only publicly shown once, at the Las Vegas edition of the CES. A prototype still exists in Nintendo of America's original New York headquarters.

    I have to say, that shiny metallic 'real' gold (plating?) looks weirdly cheap compared to gold-colored plastic. For one thing, the second anyone so much as breathes near that finish, it's going to pick up a billion fingerprints and at least one random scratch, to say nothing of actually _playing_ with it.

    There was a game series created and produced (but not directed) by Hideo Kojima called Boktai in which the player character is a vampire hunter named Django who drags vampires' coffins. There was in Japan a special edition GBA SP which is half-black and half-red, nothing too fancy but the kicker is it came with this sweet-ass coffin-shaped case that could fit in either a GBA or GBA SP in (the shape fitted both) and 2 slots for the Boktai games themselves in. I think one of my friends still owns that case from way back in the day...

    To be fair to Dave Mirra, he probably figured that whoever won the GameBoy would want to display it rather than actually use it, and I have to agree with his rationale there because that's what I'd do with it personally.

    I actually own a limited edition Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness Gamecube. I still use it today. It was one of my first gaming experiences too! My younger brother also gave me his golden TLoZ Majora's Mask GBA SP! I used to think the Flame Red 3DS was limited edition, which is why I got it. It wasn't, but I don't regret it. Still wish I owned the Midnight Purple one. I own a NES styled 3DS XL though.

    I think my favourite console variants, rare or not, are those weird branded retro consoles from back in the day. I'm not talking the ones themed after like, Pokemon or whatever, I'm talking the Toyota Gameboy or the Tommy Hilfiger and Lunchables Gameboy color. I just think it's so funny that those things exist, like, imagine if Nintendo came out with a special edition Honda console today. That would be hilarious.

    I was at PAX '08 and saw part of the Jenga part of the Omegathon for the custom Wii because it was before a panel I wanted to see. It ran way over the allotted time slot and every one of the contestants were sweating bullets when pulling out those blocks. Several of them looked like they were going to throw up.

    Love cashman. It's one of the short side comics of Toriyama, and the story is crazy: an alien cop comes to earth following a criminal, but ends up crashing. Unfortunately he's out of fuel to get back on his planet, but its present on earth! Too bad it's gold. So, he start acting as a superhero, helping those in need...for a price. Great read
