For some reason, Nintendo kept pushing different colored systems (much like their later versions of the Game Boy) especially with the N64. Much like the old iMac computers in the late 90s/early 2000s, these things caught your attention if not just for their bright designs alone. Which was your favorite color when this system was relevant back in the day?

i spend target gift cards on an Ice Blue controller for myself because my fat brother kept getting imitation crab meat on the grey controller.
Gold for the money green for the honeys
>Gold for the money green for the honeys
Wasn't it the other way around?
Anyway.... based and homie-pimp-pilled
the original N64 was released in black with a gray controller.
then they made a black controller...
why are there no gray consoles??
even on eBay, you can find all the colors except the gray of the controller, the same gray as the first Playstation.
a gray N64 with lavender buttons like the Snes.
>no gray consoles
Bc gray plastic really shows its age after about 5-6 years of sun exposure or 19 years of just ambient light. My friends all had leftover snes consoles in the late 90s and early 2000s; they were already yellowed. Same reason nobody made white ones back then, that plastic just aged poorly. One of my friends had a green one like
and it was already Mountain Dew colored after being in his family’s living room with large pane windows for a few years. Worked fine, though.
Original color scheme will always be my favorite. Aside from that there's Zelda Gold and Pikachu Edition, rest are just kind of meh
Clear orange & clear black is my choice. In Japan, there were other two-toned clear plastic N64s like sky blue on white and watermelon red on clear beige.
Original color scheme gotta go with the classic
Theoretically black is the best color because you don't want the internal electronics exposed to light or UV lights over long periods of time. They slowly break down plastics and make them brittle.
I always wanted a fire orange N64 when I was a kid, but I prefer the watermelon red console now.
That said, I think the fire red controller is the best looking one. All the buttons stand out pretty nicely. Extreme green and atomic purple are good too. Really wish they finished the spectrum with a translucent yellow controller.
I got ice blue/clear but I kinda wish I got grape purple
For some reason those N64s don't look purely like children's toys even with all of those different colors, unlike the Gamecube. I guess it comes to size. Small size = little power. Probably also the reason why the NES was so big compared to the Famicom.
Good old times, where we could get some nice electronics in some nice colors.
Nowadays everything is literally black or white.

Well, you can still get the Switch Lite in different colors and different colored joycons for the normal models. PS1 or Saturn didn't come in as many colors as N64, PS1 was almost always gray, though it also had some exceedingly rare Net Yaroze black editions. Saturn only came in white, gray or black, I think. This is kind of interesting, because in the 6th gen both Sony and Sega decided to copy Nintendo. PS2 had a lot more editions in bright colors and they were actually available for purchase to the general public. Dreamcast also had many different special editions, though mostly in Japan.
Atomic purple controller is the best controller. I had a transparent red console as a kid, but the OG black one now.
test
Got myself one of those aliexpress shells, made sure to find a seller that is selling the newer batches that actually come with the cartridge slot bay and the nintendo logo.
Looks and feels like an official funtastic n64, but in dark red, its sick.
>For some reason, Nintendo kept pushing different colored systems
Because it's fricking cool. Everything now is a black square, or a white rounded square.
Make them look like literally anything else ffs.
