nintendo 64 gold edition ?

since iam looking for a n64 system i checked ebay these days and there was a gold edition of the n64 anyone of you know if nintendo released such a thing or is it just a home painted ?

 

They did, it was a Toys R Us exclusive. It also came with a gold controller.

 

ahh cool and yes the picture shows also a controller in the same color i was just a little bit confused about the color since in the image the thing looked more silver

thx for the fast answer

heres the image iam talking:

 

It's just the lighting that makes that system look silver. The N64 is indeed available in a Gold variety - as einbebop said, it was sold here in the 'States as a Toys 'R Us limited edition. I'm not sure in Japan - I know the gold controllers were sold seperately, unlike here where they were only available with the system.

I've actually got the gold system and a controller, and if you'd like I can get some pictures for you when I get back home (30th or 31st of this month).

 

the gold controllers are difficult to find (well, maybe im unlucky), i know you where able to win one in a mario kart competition made by nintendo power magazine. it was THE big prize.

 

I did found two gamestop stores selling 1 gold n64 controller each for $10, if I had the money I'd buy them but I doubt they still have it.

 

They were sold in japan first actually, looked really good if you had the gold zelda cart as well.

 

The closest we got in the UK was the Goldeneye pack. Normal black console, 007 and a gold pad.

 

if i looked right this night (or lets say already early morning 4am =) the controllers are still avaiable via amazon

and when i searched deeper it says the gold package was even avaiable via amazon so its not a toysrus exclusive, nice to know so they could be fare more common then i thougt (even when they are now out of stock)

and to the controller this is even avaiable for 15bucks at amazon maybe ill get one of these later

are there any good site around covering the history of the nintendo 64 ?

and thx for the help guys

 

Amazon.com and Toys r us paired up--they're partners. So it is a TRU exclusive. ;-)

 

it's not very difficult to find one gold US system on ebay, i find mine 6month ago at 60$ for a new one with 2 controllers:

The japanese one is more difficult to find and cost arround 90$ for a boxed one i have a 1 controller pack, not seem to be edited with a 2nd controller inclued.
I'm not sure i thinks that the us version have a 1 controller version.

 

The US pokemon N64 or the Australian version? I remember Gamestop having 3 of them boxed for $25.

 

I wonder this is overclock friendly? :smt033

 

That US Pokemon N64 is the same as the Japanese one. The Japanese one is available in blue or orange.

Yakumo

 

and the european one..

looks like the smaller one was a aussie exclusive.... now that in its self is rare!

 

these pokemon editions look a little bit to crazy for me =) i already thougt the original design in black and grey looked very stylish

maybe i should buy that instead of the pimp gold one =)

btw. someones selling a gold package plus 3 or 4 gold games for 599$ WOW

 

I thought that the 2 Zelda special editions were the only two gold N64 carts?

 

hmm i cant find the link anymore maybe someone bought it already ill check my browser history

i think from the 3 or 4 titles none was the zelda one i think i remember starcraft was one

found it and its:
Console gold, Ogre Battle 64, Starcraft 64, Harvest Moon

so thats way to much for me even if the console is sealed if there where the 2 zeldas and maybe the pokemon gold/ silver cartridge and a golden memory card all sealed ill still think 300$ would be too much
