How fitting that a console commemorating Rare would be one of the rarest consoles ever
I'm just glad you said "fitting" and not "ironic" like a lot of plebs would have.
@@L.Drizzle You could say that the fact that he said, "fitting," was truly ironic.
@@user-xn3kt6bn5r Lol, you trying to trigger me?
This
@@L.Drizzle *ironic* isnt it ;)
I can’t believe I’ve survived this long without hearing about The Incredibles GameCube.
That’s incredible!
@Giovanni Brysen A trick : you can watch series at wcoforever. I've been using it for watching loads of anime these days.
Are you from Germany?
It looks horrible, If was only the logo could be a cool edition but like that it's just terrible 🙈
I'd kill for that console, looks amazing
And now because of this video, all prices quotes are now tripled because of demand.
Contestants competed to see who could survive longest in Battletoads. At 6.8 seconds, the winner received a console.
I made a complete loop once lol
So many cool variations - that useless glow in the dark Game Boy is so necessary
Oh hey, it’s Nintendo Collecting! You gonna try to find some of these?
@@platinumshard8688 I would love to but only if prices are below $1000 🤣
I’ll try to get it if I can
@@NintendoCollecting If you really want something rare, try picking up a Nintendo Sony console controller, I found one for sale, but it is over $6000.
I never reply, but this is the best comment I've read in a while
Don't care about stickers/colours/words. But those custom Boot/Eject sounds?!?! YES
Ya consoles that are basically a skin are lame but when they actually change things like that is when special editions are pretty cool. Like the Pikachu N64 with a PokeBall power switch and Pikachu's foot as the reset button and his cheeks light up when the power is on - that's cool. I'm sure there are some other cool special editions like that too.
Man that pepsi one is pretty badass
And better than Mario because he was NEVER good
@@THWhite-ip3uq Yeah, how did such a bad series become the best selling game franchise of all time for 30 years running? Makes no sense.
I'm pretty sure at least some people will disagree that Mario was never good.
@@OtakuUnitedStudio it was a joke regarding the user who made the comment above us, because he has an unnecessary hate for Sonic, and made a lot of jokes in the past, always finishing his sentences with "Sonic was never good".
Pink Lighter's joke was pretty bad and unnecessary (with all respect, but truth be told), but I get why he did this in the first place.
Right??
@@cybernnic you nailed it! I only do it to annoy him, since he annoys a few people. Otherwise, I'm minding my own business
Crazy to think how quality of limited edition designs on Switch has degraded. Kinda wish that Nintendo would keep up with ambitious skins like they did back then
Dang, these rare consoles look pretty sharp.
watching these after grocery shopping was a bad idea, some of these actually sound affordable.
I guess what they say is true... never go to the store hungry.
@@bahamut9203 we shop for half a months worth and cat food/litter is expensive.
@@bahamut9203 Also, the price of groceries has skyrocketed during the pandemic. Don't expect it to ever fully return to pre-pandemic levels, because prices never do once they stay high for awhile. Even if it was initially solely due to economic reasons and not greed, big business will make it about greed.
I suggest that, rather than subsisting on groceries from the store, we subsist on the flesh of the wealthy.
I bet that FRGMT Joy Con has so much drift by now
That’s the issue with rare consoles, you can’t use them or you’ll ruin their value
5:57 Custom sound effects? Damn, more special edition consoles should do that
13:47 This is the cruelest challenge imaginable
I believe a few of the special edition ones did, my buddies forza special edition xbox one has a different start up and shut down sound. It's not a completely different design it looks exactly like a stock xbox one
I had a GOW3 360 that had custom sound effects for power on and disk tray too. More consoles need to do cool shit like that.
That glow in the dark Gameboy and Pepsi twist special bottle caps is FUCKING cool
Bome soux
12:13 that GameCube is incredible!
What about the Panasonic GameCube? Before the GameCube had the small disks, Nintendo intended to partner with Panasonic to have DVD’s as the game disks, a limited amount of the consoles managed to get out to mainstream collectors.
It has been covered a million tumes on RUclips. No need to retell the story again
@@hansdietrich83 it’s literally a video about gaming’s rarest consoles...
@@CrustyDoormat if you actually listened to the intro, it's actually a selection of interesting consoles from their archive. It would be stupid to cover the same 10 consoles, every other rare console video covers.
@@hansdietrich83 I think you’ve misunderstood big man.
I love video game history like this. As always I really enjoy your channel.
Always great to watch a video with Liam!
Hell yeah love the Liam Robertson videos!
Thank you!
These are awesome!! Haven't heard of most of these!
Great content as always. Dope episode
What is even rarer is to find MTV playing actual music videos
There's a limited edition gamecube that's colored and decorated like the mobile suits Char Aznable used in the original mobile suit gundam. It's not super rare but a complete set will cost upwards of $550-$600. I just thought it was cool.
look at all those amazing limited consoles... and then there's the Gray Switch that just says "Thunderbolt & Pokemon", i do like the black leather Mew Plushie
Nintendo Switch - Pikachu Thunder Fart Edition
I was thinking the same thing when I saw that silhouette.
Just bought a Pepsi DS last night unopened! I can't believe this video just cane out hours after!! Once again another amazing video 🥤👍🏼
I still have one of those Hammer Bros. Pepsi caps since I was in Japan at the time.
Great video
There’s a couple of EXTREMELY rare systems that was produced for official Nintendo contests in Scandinavia as well, that could be fun to hear your take on.
There’s 4 different Animal Crossing Nintendo DS systems, one for each season, that was given out to 4 lucky winners through the Scandinavian Club Nintendo magazine.
There was also a unique Luigi’s Mansion Gamecube which they only made 1 of, signed by Miyamoto himself. It has a unique design with Luigi and a Boo on the top.
Do you have any pictures from that Luigi’s Mansion GameCube?
LSupersonicQ on RUclips has made some videos about those exact Animal Crossing DS systems.
9:37 Oooh Metarot, I wish they'd localize those games
You should do a video on just rare gamecubes, there are so many cool variants that exist.
We need a gamecube 2
@@nolandderlugner1351 it's called the wii
Ngl, I had the frosted pink ds lite that had the paw pint on it. I guess it was a nintendogs edition since it came with a copy of the game. I always thought it was a really cool color, like a darker metallic pinkish color, even if ppl made fun of me for having a pink DS I never saw another one on the streets.
Man I owned so many of those Nintendogs ds...
@@thefoilcollector9392 Did you want *ALL OF THEM?*
Would of been cool if they did the Pepsi promo here in America. Japan certainly does love their Pepsi, I mean, they made a mascot for it in the late 90s and 2000s after all XD
If I remember correctly there was a game called Pepsi Man
@@jamiephilip79 and you would be correct, it had its own game too, based on the mascot I was bringing up, which was Pepsiman like you said. developed by a Japanese company called KID (Kindle Imagine Develop)
All you have to do to win is play a game and survive the longest.
Me: "Cool! I'm in!"
It's THAT stage from Battletoads.
Me: "I'm out."
I had no idea the Titanfall console was so rare! I saw at least 2 of them traded in when I worked at GameStop.
Not gonna lie that Switch design is very very bland for a limited edition kind of console lol
That Titanfall Xbox Console & Controller looks SOOO GOOOD!
TheRetroFuture represent!!!
If anything that has ever come to mocking how collecting can be ridiculous is the Malibu stacy episode on the simpsons, when Lisa makes her own version and then to compete with her toy , the makers that helped make her figure a reality, release an already existing figure but with an extra accessory , a hat , same figure , just a new hat, and these collectors went bat shit crazy for it. They would've probably pay hundreds of dollars just like these collectors would for an already existing system but with just extra features and or skin.
9:53 Well that was a major oversight. This should've been a glow-in-the-dark 'Gameboy Light' instead.
I wouldn't be surprised if MTV Radio never once played music.
13:58 im more interested in that N64 display case thing the console is sitting on. that thing looks neat!
If anyone wants a Hanshin Tigers Game Cube, you can buy it at Retro Game Trader in Beaverton, OR.
He didn't even mention that in this video did he?
I still have that Titan fall controller and use it to this day 😄
I hope you’re using it today!
Cool list, I don't think I knew any of these.
Man that frgmt switch looks so good!
"These are very rare consoles," places on the edge of kitchen counter for pictures.
There's a really cool Heineken Gamecube as well! I believe it came in black and purple
Finally my depression is cured once agian
Danny please come back to therapy.
Chin up Duck
Which console made you the happiest?
9:40 Medabots has seen quite a resurgence in recent years…
I find it so lame when there is a rare console variant that is a custom job of which there exists only one or two... Like yeah if I painted my own switch it would be a one of a kind console too.
That smudged signature on the rare replay Xbox hurt to see
I want to learn more about that random mention of the one of a kind star fox assault one that looks awsome
I think it's on Console Variations if you look it up. It was made for another N-Zone competition. There was one made but it has never been recovered.
I still have the Titanfall controller at 4:47 - It is actually sitting in front of me while I was watching this video. lol
I also have the Day one controller at 5:22
Always wanted the Titanfall Xbox One, even if I didn't like the game.
That design is just perfect.
One contest variation that I've been searching for FOREVER is a Mass Effect 2 branded Xbox Kinect, IIRC there were seven blue Paragon branded Kinects and seven red Renegade branded Kinects. Don't even remember what you had to do for the contest but I keep hoping they will pop up on eBay at some point. At one point there was a Cereberus Elite edition of ME2 that came in like a haliburton case that was on eBay but that's been years ago and I have no idea what the story on that was.
didnt expect to see Cloud at 2:55
Given how much Pepsi Twist I used to drink, had the promotion been in Europe too, I'd swim in Pepsi-branded DS
ended up makeing a account on the site to check on my lovely collector edition god of war ps4 pro
I don't know if it's because the Xbox One was so boxy and VCR-looking, but custom skins always looked really good on it - like more than on the PS4. That custom Titanfall console looked especially awesome
When will you make your Pokémon Gray video?
I’d kill for that Pikachu Thunderbolt Switch
just get a grey switch and a couple decals lmao
Bro those glow in the dark game boys were everywhere when I was a kid, I remember you could buy them from a swap meet lady in that same box for a little more than the cost of a regular one
i want neof the solid chrome panasonic gamecubes that could play actual DVD's as well as gamecube games.
can you do rarest consoles sold to the public?
Ahhh! Pepsi Twist! My favorite!
Oh man I remember the Pepsi twist i remember it being really good. Wish they'd bring it back lol
Aw mann, you forgot the golden Wii that was sent to Buckingham Palace!
Yeah, you could buy it for 300,000 if you wanted
That has already been covered on the channel. Trust, me we didn't forget. Console Variations also owns that.
@@LiamRproductions Don is selling it
3:54 should have come with a copy of pepsiman too
Does console variations have a Labo Nintendo Switch? If I’m not wrong, there are less than 10 of those around.
i had a friend who had an original DS that was DR pepper themed. IT wasnt a sticker either.
when you mentioned the developer gamecubes being sold off to collectors... i'd feel kinda weird owning something that's thanking me for something i didn't do, even as rare as it is
also i left this video wanting that mew shirt and plushie the most honestly, lol
Dang Wanna get some of these maybe
Wow, way to put 110% effort into that design, FRGMT. Couldn't even be bothered to use your own drawing for that Mew tee...
And you can trade these in at gamestop for $14.50
🤣 I was going to say! Haha.
$14.50 *in store credit*
I have the Titanfall controller it's neat.
Any info about the special red N64 concoles that were given to the players of the first Pokémon Championship in 2000? I cannot find it on consolevariations.com
Does consolevariations have a contact page? If so you might just be able to email them.
I‘d love that glow in the dark game boy.
That pepsi ds looks so cool
I use to have a rare fat ps2 automobile collectors edition it was yellow. Unfortunately was stolen from me but I still have the tray it said in to prove I had it.
the hypebeast in me really wants that fragment switch lol
Really nice covers! Nice video, thanks! :)
I would call them rarest console covers, since the consoles themselves are basically the same.
who gets to keep The Incredibles GameCube in the divorce?
Seems weird that you completely left the PlayStation out of this video.
They don’t make many rare consoles. I know they had a Monster Hunter World ps4 that I really wanted, but never got 😭
Red pokemon gameboy micro and the Minish Cap GBA-SP are the two rarest consoles I know of, not a bad list though.
I wish you brought up the Char's Red Comet GameCube from nintendos partnership with Gundam. It ran 3x faster (allegedly).
Soo all you need to do is be someone who works at a game company and paint a console and host a contest to win it to make it a "1 of a kind" variant.
Otherwise I too could paint my GameCube to have an MTV or Incredibles look and then there's more of them in circulation.
Im surprised the PAL sonic 10th anniversary Dreamcast wasn't included here, there were only 50 of them.
The jordan F1 team PlayStation 1 was another rare console
Those custom titanfall sounds should be standard
Lastimosa is also the name of a character in titanfall 2. Coincidence? I think not
the idea of an Incredibles gamecube is kind of neat
I was born on where ps3 slim was created even thought its common i still think its rare
The mtv consoles are so sick
Imagine those fragment joycons getting drift
English: The Incredibles
German: DIE UNGLAUBLICHEN!!!
I wonder if there were any Game Boy Player variations... 🤔
There would have to be. The regular ones just wouldn't match otherwise.
Never clicked quicker
Only console variant I have is the Majora 3DS, so not as rare as a lot of stuff but still really cool
Oh? The only one I've got is a Smash Ultimate Switch. Not sure if it's rare, though...
I have Monster Hunter Rise Switch. I don’t think it’s rare lol
That switch - "simplistic" - You mean "Boring"
Cool video
I didn't call it simplistic. I said it was minimalist.
@@LiamRproductions Ah ok
That switch - "Minimalist" - More like "Boring"
No! Don't bring publicity on the Fragment switch smh! The price is just gonna go up now
i actualy have some of those bottle caps got em for a steal
