They are a baseball team from Fukuoka. This console uses their colors and was only available in the Daiei store (the supermarket company owning [...]

No idea if these are legit, but they look pretty awesome. From the auction: Up for auction is an original Nintendo 64 blueprint/diagram. My father was one of the main tech guys in the mid 90′s at Nintendo located in Redmond, Washington and he still had some of the stuff he used to teach the [...]

Not a prototype, but essentially a development RAM cart. From what I understand, these would have been flashed by Rare from a computer, but hold no permanent memory. Auction Here RareWare has a nice video showing off similar carts. Also: The Legend of Zelda Oracle of Seasons (Game Boy Color) Sealed PCE PC-Engine/Turbo Grafx Hucard [...]

These don’t show up a lot, and this may just be the second one so far this year. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Special Edition was only released in Germany, back in 1998 when the game was released in Europe. Possibly as an exclusive from a gameshop in Berlin, Cyber Games. The exact [...]

The winner of the round received this gold/black controller with a gold “N” logo. According to the seller, [...]

That’s big money for a controller. The Star Fox 64 Competition controller is a solid (opaque) two-tone controller.

The Everdrive 64 allows you to run ROM images on your N64, which means you could potentially have every single N64 game on one cartridge – or 99% actually with compatibility issues. Awhile ago, Stone Age Gamer did a couple one off color carts as part of a contest on their FB page. The winner [...]

This cartridge was used by Service Centers to test the functionality of Nintendo 64 Systems. A five page instruction pamphlet was included to ensure the Service Center employees would be able to properly run the various tests and also to be able to correctly identify the problem(s) with the unit.

Very cool, very unique and very overpriced. From the auction: In January 2001 I was one of the instant winners in the Dr. Pepper / Nintendo promotional instant win contest. I’ve had the t-shirt stored in my closest for twelve years and have never worn it! It’s brand new in MINT condition and the Zelda [...]
