    Yep, sure was. I remember buying it with the way too expensive ($70!) Shadows Of The Empire...because at the time I was completely obsessed with Star Wars, and had already played the living crap out of Mario 64 at a friends place the year before.

    Anyway, sorry, didn't mean to give you guys my life story.

    There were three Toys R Us exclusive N64's in the US. The first was packaged with a single gold controller:

    There was also the edition with two gold controllers and the Pikachu Nintendo 64 Set (called the Pokemon Pikachu N64 everywhere else).

    Sayin999 mentioned a controller that was a prize in a contest. I think he's thinking of the silver Millennium 2000 controller, which was a prize in Ninetndo Power. I'm lucky enough to own one:

    Thanks. :)

    According to Nintendo Power there were 1000. I've got a scan of the competition advertisment here:

    Now I'm trying to track down the Nintendo Power 100th issue anniversary N64 controller. It's basically a gold controller with the Nintendo Power logo above the Nintendo logo. I think there were 100 of them (which would seem to make sense) but haven't been able to confirm it.

    There was indeed a Titanium N64 controller. Unfortuantely it was just a color.

    I believe it was made by InterAct.

    That's an auction for one of the controllers InterAct made and yes there was a Gold version as well.

    The "solid gold" n64 controller thing was just a myth. There was a special limited edition gold controller that you could buy from a catalog that you recieved with teh 100th issue of Nintendo Power. Then that one was marketed as the "limited edition gold" controller as seen in the pictures throughout this thread.
