The "Funtastic" branding was only used in North America, Europe also got all of the colors in that series, while Japan only got "Smoke Black" and "Grape Purple", which was renamed to "Midnight Blue". This was extremely interesting and informative! Had no clue that the Blue and White N64 released in Europe!
Great video mate! I learnt a lot more than I thought I would! So cool that retro_hoarder was able to add to his collection and be so helpful with the pics/info for the vid!
Not really, some of the new shells actually have the Nintendo logo on them, and are like for like, me and a friend ordered an atomic purple shell, took the feet from an original fantastic, and the jewel, and it was pretty close, only the color was off, but you could just get a clear one and try and dye it the same color.
Milky blue and Extreme Green with the white bottom are gorgeous. perhaps i’ll find a used N64 with a broken case and get one aftermarket, to give it a new life!
Wow this is an incedible find. I like the extreme green console. The milky blue controller looks cool. Retrobits n64 mirky blue controller pays tribute to that prototype with the color.
Was expecting a mention of the really early prototype controller with grey buttons. Is there a reason you never cover developer and pre release hardware?
Hello there Snooplax! your videos are amazing and it´s awesome how you reveal all this information, but i have a question (and maybe a video idea), did you hear about a N64 Perfect Dark edition? i remember having one, it had Joanna´s stickers in its top part, i only remember it being really ripped... No wait, i found it (thanks consolevariations.com), but it doesn´t seems to have the stickers, hmmm...
I enjoyed your video and appreciate the investigation you put into it, but I have to say that you must not call these prototypes, these consoles are regular consumer units.
They went crazy with money used to get out their “Project Revolution” aka Nintendo 64, they made so many kinds if things and even the N64DD was hoping to also get out there, but it didn’t so there was quite a loss of money there. In the end though a lot of people heard about it although and we’re buying it, so Nintendo got to see it sold somewhat.
Can't believe extreme green didnt get much love
mountain dew n64
Omg that milky blue one doe
The milky blue is amazing and reminds me of the Pokemon Crystal cartridge. Lucky!
Yeah its my favorite of all them. Imagine if they made a special Gameboy Color for Pokemon Crystal in this color!
@@NinjaxShadowXx Ah hell yeah, that would have been clean!
I think the ghostly blue controller might have been supposed to glow in the dark, which would have been crazy cool!
i wouldn't be surprised if there are more prototype horipads in the vault because of the transparent prototype consoles.
yah for sure hopefully we see more Hori prototypes someday
nice vid, i actually didnt know about these prototypes despite being a fan of the console. What a interesting history behind these
When I heard the tune at 11:10 it put the biggest smile on my face 😊 The toad town theme will always feel like home

I still have my grape purple n64 but man, I would have loved to get the ocean blue one..
I wonder if these can be distinguished between the newer shells being sold
Hey huge fan of your content. I still remember all the old rareity guides for 64 controllers and consoles!

Hey, i have that ice blue with the white bottom!
With the controller too, but the stick is realy bad.
I have the ice blue one! It's my Nintendo 64 system of choice every time I play the system.
Nice the ice blue is a very cool color
Ice blue is a nice color, but in turn, i chose a japanese gold one instead
Amazing video man... 👍👍

the stickers were just a skin from n64 magazine
@@PeteHarrison Thanks for the reply, but could you tell me where did you got that infirmation? please
@@piranhafangugc4818 because i have all the consoles, also I have the perfect dark skin too, join the group i linked above for more info
So many official and semi-official console and controller variants - has a system ever had so many?
Awesome video! I wish I could own some of these.
Thanks!
New title: Transparent prototype video
I need them so badly
Bring back transparent tech!
I couldn't agree more!
milky blue is my fav
Awesome variants
That orange and black is tight!
I should mention when you say 'a facebook group' its the N64 Super Group - facebook.com/groups/n64supergroup/

What is the song that starts in the background at 6:49?
MagneForce Gaming I think it’s from The Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask
Astral observatory from majoras mask
I love the theme song rainbow road Mario kart 64
