[Thoughts] The Nintendo 64's Special Editions Were Decent

[Thoughts] The Nintendo 64's Special Editions Were Decent - Coolest Consoles (Part 1)

Let's look at some N64 Special Edition consoles!

In this series of blogs, I will be covering my favourite versions of each console that I have owned. Now, I most likely don't have any of these myself due to the pricing for them, but I can still see them very well online through photos/videos. However, if I do have one of them, I will make a note of it. Each part of this series will contain a top five for that specific console, this is in order as well from least liked to most liked. Anyway, without further ado, let's start!

5. Nintendo 64 Clear White / Red Console

This console is my fifth favourite. There are two other versions of this console but I think the dark blue goes the best with the yellow. The Pikachu featured on the console doesn’t just look cool, but they also worked its foot to be the reset button which is a nice touch. Another cool touch is that the power button is a Poke ball. The controller isn’t just a colour but features the Pokémon logo on it too.

4. Nintendo 64 Pikachu Dark Blue Console

This console is my fourth favourite. There are actually two other versions of this console but I think the dark blue goes the best with the yellow. The pikachu featured on the console doesn't just look cool but they worked its foot to be the reset button which is a nice touch. Another cool touch is that the power button is a Pokeball. The controller isn't just a colour but features the Pokemon logo on it too.

3. Nintendo 64 Funtastic Grape Purple Console

This console is my third favourite. Sometimes less is more and with this one, I feel that applies. The dark purple colour and see-through case looks really clean. It's not too in your face like some of the other designs can be. The buttons on the controller really pop out well with this one too.

2. Nintendo 64 Daiei Hawks Console

This is my second favourite console design. Orange and black is one of my favourite colour combinations and I think it looks great here. Again, we have the cool see-through case as well here. I'm not sure what collab this console is for but I'm glad it was done.

1. Nintendo 64 Gold Console

This is my absolute favourite version of the Nintendo 64. Many gold editions go wrong by making it an unpleasant gold colour, however this one is more akin to rose gold and looks amazing. This would be the ultimate display piece to have on a shelf. While it may not have much else other than color, it doesn't need to.

That's it for part 1 of this series, for part 2 stay connected!

[News] New "Hype trailer" for Summer Game Fest goes live

Summer Game Fest gets new video source : twitter.com/summergamefest Summer Game Fest hosted by Geoff Keighley will be live this Thursday, June 8th as announced a few days ago. The event will be streamed everywhere @ 3pm ET / Noon PT / 9pm CEST. Currently, other than a showing for the recently revealed Mortal Kombat remake, there are no details as to what to expect from the show. However, in a follow up tweet to the video post, Geoff states we will find out soon. In that same reply he also says what you see in the video is not indicative of what we will or won't see. So it serves as just a little mind refresher for some of the new games this year. Link to the video can be found here SGF video I will be watching this event, but I will have my expectations set very low. Previous summer game fests have not been that interesting so I expect this one to follow suit. Though, with E3 not being a thing anymore offici...

[News] Another game comes to Nintendo Switch Online!

Another game is now available for Nintendo Switch Online members source: twitter.com/NintendoAmerica Over on X (Twitter), Nintendo has announced that another game is coming to Nintendo Switch Online. This includes 1 GBA game. The GBA game included in this update is Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team. The GBA app does require the expansion pass tier so if you have it you can enjoy this game. This game will be available from August 9th. For more information on the game click this link: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team I haven't played Red Rescue Team, but I have played Blue Rescue Team and loved it. They are essentially the same game just Blue Rescue Team was on the DS. Both aren't coming together as we sadly don't have a DS app. I hope people who have the expansion take the time to try this, as the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, while a bit repetitive in gameplay, bring a lot more interesting narratives than mainline Pokemon games. That's it f...

[News] Grand Festival Announced! (Splatoon 3)

Nintendo has just announced the last? Splatfest! source: x.com/NintendoAUNZ Over on X (Twitter), Nintendo has just posted the details of the last? Splatfest for Splatoon 3. It is a very special Splatfest with it being called the "Grand festival". For this, it seems all three idol groups are against each other taking one option each. The question being asked for this is "Which is the most important to you?". The three options are past (Squid Sisters), present (Off the Hook), or future (Deep Cut). The Splatfest will be available for 72 hours rather than the usual 48. It will start Friday the 13th of September @ 01:00 am until Monday the 16th of September @ 00:59 am . We don't know much about the fest itself but it's safe to assume it will have all the same things as a special Splatfest and more. In the trailer, we do get to see the three idol groups in special costumes, as well as hear a new collab song between the three idol groups. However, that's pre...
