Using this video 6 years later as i just got my hands on some Australian boxed Jungle and Grape controllers !!
That's awesome! Congrats they are so hard to find
Can't wait for a Gamecube Rarity guide once you finally collect all of those!
N64 is hands down the best console of all time, so many memories... second to that I would have to say the Nintendo 3DS (Don't hate).
Thanks for taking the time to do this.
8 years later, I wish these prices were still the same 😢
Yeah a guy locally wants to sell the Funtastic controllers for $45 each.
I got my gold n64 controller with OoT from $35 it was a great deal and I love the colour.
I'm really sorry you bought a Fake Star Fox controller :( , nevertheless, Mindblowing collection!
Wow now that's a controller collection, I love these guides, great update to the pricing always good info.
Im surprised you put yellow as the 3rd most common, I think of the solid colors, that is the hardest to find, loose at least. I think the atomic purple controller (loose) is the 2nd most common. Not boxed, but loose.
Agreed for the loose controllers - but for rarity I was going by boxed. A lot of the solid colours or Funtastics can be swapped though
I live in Canada common ones are red green blue purple gray solid colors. Fantastic series ones are bit harder to find I'm looking for jungle green atm
How did you find out that the E3 controller was a fake? Was the N64 logo wrong or something?
I would like to thank you for your videos. You literally inspired me to start a collection for the n64 myself. Keep doing what you're doing.
Yes, the N64 controller was actually released in several different colors, such as red, green, blue, yellow, purple, black, and all the rest, they even make one transparent
ever since i fist saw that e3 controller, i've always wanted it. Now that it's been declared the rarest, i don't think i'll ever get my hands on one.
Wow as someone who grew up with n64 ( I got my console in Xmas 98 at 9 years old) seeing some of the rare controllers makes me want a few! Esp the clear white backs very very cool. I have a smoke grey with tight stick happy to hear it’s somewhat rare
Awesome guide Lithium! Its always great to know that you still have a lot of collecting to do in the future, haha
Cool not Kool
rare Nintendo 64 controller - found in a forgotten storage locker - could sell for thousands of pounds at auction on October 19.
The valuable controller was found in an unpaid/forgotten storage locker by our Derbyshire vendor. He understands the locker’s original owner had worked for Rare, a firm which designed games for Nintendo.
David Wilson Turner, head of Hansons Toy/Gaming department, said: “The controller’s rarity is down to the fact that it was given as a prize to winners of a four-player E3 1997 StarFox Tournament in America. The very first N64 Gold controller came from that 1997 E3, which was held in Atlanta, Georgia.
What an awesome and informative video. Thanks for sharing your collection!
Amazing video again! I love these type of videos and the original console video you made was the reason I got into collecting! :)
Finally! Ive been waiting on this forever!
Hey bud great videos. How can you tell from the last controller is fake or not? Also when will you do a n64 game video thanks keep up the good work
Mostly I like the transparent controllers but the one a like like most is daiei hawks controller
Can you please do an updated version of this for August 2015? Because I find the prices to be a little different on eBay now :)
Yea there no chance in hell find any for 10-20$ 😂
I still got the grape purple controller with the console, didn't know it was worth that much. I also feel pretty bad knowing I have looked pass the clear controllers in some stores going for £5
Ice blue was released in europe in its own box! I have mine right here :) . In fact i think you are right about the jungle green controller: Ice blue was the only of the transparent controllers,which was released in europe in its own box. The other transparent colors we had only came with the respective console.
Oh damn i confused it with the clear blue i guess ;/ Just checked in the box. You were right!
About a week ago I got a funtastic grape without a box for $20. The seller said it was $7 last year, but it became a little more rare.
the atomic purple seems easy to find just like the gray one to me i cant tell you how many i have found in my area and i live in a small town
Hey there,
What a collection that you have!!! I really enjoy when I watch you videos on RUclips. Thanks for a nice job you’re doing.
Could you help me with some tips to how get some n64 controllers. Like millennium 2000, power 100 and donkey Kong. Thanks again.
Cheers
Those rarer controllers your best bet is forums and ebay I believe. They are getting expensive though
Thanks for the advise. I’ll try to keep checking it on ebay. I am just a little scare in buying some stuff on eBay exclusively these controllers because I know that it is a little expensive and sometimes we can find some people trying to be smart and selling fake stuff!!! In your experience do you think that they can make fake controllers like the millennium 2000 and power 100? And how worth do you think that these controller can be today? Thanks.
19:04 I swear, the clear blue and white controller along with the clear red and white controller is what I saw in the commercial for custom robo for the N64. I'm thinking they released around the same time as said game.
Dude i love ur channel
Wow impressive collection!!!
With tight sticks in good condition I would never sell a 64 controller for less than $20, $25 for the rare ones. I find that grays are getting harder and harder to find too. I find Funtastics and Red/Green/Blue/Black solids almost weekly with consoles.
I usually will buy n64 at my local retro game store for 30 1 controller tight n the console, they sell the controllers for 15-20 max tight sticks and loose sticks for roughly 10-12
When you say boxed do you mean unopened or just put back in the box? Thanks!
Dazzo 888 Most, if not all of the boxes were never sealed. They will be opened
Great video, very interesting
the only controllers i got are the pokemon one i had it with the limited edition pikachu console and a golden controller from my brothers golden eye console.
Such a nice controller to collect for. Wish I was able to afford boxed. So far I have 11 loose different colors that were all found in the wild for cheap.
Hey lithium you said smoke grey did you mean smoke black? 540-545 i believe not sure if you mistaken the name while talking of the transparent purple (atomic purple)
Does box condition matter? I have a sealed American solid green controller. $40 seems low unless thats for just any box. Wonder what the difference in price between condition/sealed.
Would love to grade it one day
I'm not sure that the solid colors ever were truly sealed in the box from Nintendo themselves, but yeah condition is a big deal especially now.
Ever get your hands on the JP Mario Kart controller only box with the half black half gray cardboard tab on it?
I am just not this kind of collector. Like I mean it is nice to own all these controllers in box, and some still sealed, I just can't bring myself to make such superfluous purchases. I think in fact the only time i bought an official controller complete in box, it was the Goldstar 3DO controller and I got that for just 10$, but I only bought it because I had the Goldstar system, but not even one single 3DO controller. I actually still don't own any official Nintendo SNES or N64 controllers. I only have one third party SNES controller and third party N64 controller. i'd love to own even just a second of each controller so that I could play multiplayer games, but even the third party ones are 15-20$! So I have no luck, unless I find a bundle with 2 controllers for cheap and sell off the the extras.
Dragondude2525 Keep in mind I paid only a fraction of what they are currently selling for in most cases, but yes having many controllers is not necessary though it is cool!
Nintendo Collecting yes I figured you did not spend hundreds of dollars buying those controllers, but still it is not necessary. it is definitely cool to own all the varieties, I just really want an official controller, and one of those HORI mini game pads!
Dragondude2525 I have 2 of the Hori Minipads but sadly they are definitely too small for my hands
Nintendo Collecting i'm a pretty big guy, but i hope they are more comfortable than the real deal
I think you should do a pricing guide on N64 games as well, That would be very helpful.
Way more money now
Hey man…I have a question about mine. Was the plastic included in all the Blister Pack ones? Mine looks sealed, although it’s hard to tell bc they were just snapped together. So how do we know they are original?
Nice video!
Best put the rarity 5/10 that ***** is very difficult to see... XD
Really like the hello mac. I recently got one for just over 80.
Someone has a grape purple fantastic controller but it has a gray connector on it. Did any of the fantastics end up having gray connectors instead of connectors matching the controller themselves? I found that odd
Any plans to update this in 2020? I'd be interested in the state of the market, I suspect basically everything is higher now.
I would so tempted to put the 2000 buttons in the black control
awesome!
How about the controller versions, at the beginning of the life of my UK N64 I had controllers with a funny rubber cable loop system just behind the connector into the console, after a while with new controllers this appears to turn into a plastic type of loop holder and then later with other new controllers it disappeared! I have no idea what it was for but noted this difference over the time which may help to age the controllers.
Any thoughts on this please let me know as I just thought about it watching your very helpful video.
jesus i wish these controllers were still these prices
I wish you could still just find these things- prices set aside entirely! These are mythical at this point... I would cough up a lot of $$$ for some of these funtastic controllers in box- or blister packs.
Quick question, do you have any loose controllers that you would be willing to part with for the listed price? You see I'm from Norway so most websites don't ship the controllers here. They are quite hard to find here and they are rarely in a good condition.
Why you guys ignore the brazilian ones? Here we have the "Coleção Sabores" ("Flavors Collection" in brazilian portuguese). Here we know the "jungle green" as "kiwi", "smoke black" as "jabuticaba", "fire orange" as "tagerina (tangerine)".
Whow the memories are coming back. I remember seeing them on stores. I purcharsed the "Grape Purple" back in the day, it was named "Uva" if I recall correctly.
I have a controller that's black on top, darkish yellow on bottom. I noticed you didn't mention one like that.
It is possible to take controllers apart and make a different top and bottom which is likely the one you have
I love the grape purple and want one in the blister pack.
I saw what appears to be a loose Jusco N64 controller at a shop in Little Tokyo. They seem to be legit so I’m just trying to decide whether or not to buy it. The back is clearly yellowing so that makes me unsure.
The Millenium 2000 controller is $1,000 on eBay
Maybe this is a dumb question but do you collect anything else like Microsoft and sony consoles or are you a strictly Nintendo type of guy.
Hey Lithium, How can you tell the difference between an authentic Mario Kart controller and a controller that someone just frankensteined a black and grey together?
Do you have any info on the Mario Kart 1000 gold controllers? I have one and was wondering what kind of info you have. Pricing/Otherwise.
Recently bought an extreme green controller at a local game store for $30
What do you think about the aftermatket games cases?
?Lithium-Hey Lithium, Great Video again! But I cant help but notice you have a Wii U headset on the background cant tell if its the NLA or the N11 but could you unbox it or do a review for it :D Sorry if I had any grammar mistakes English is mot my primary language :D
Not*
Sketch09 I can do a review of it - but I got it on sale for like $5 and it is not very good
Are you going to do this with Consoles?
He already did. :p
PBCollects 2014 Nintendo 64 Console Pricing + Rarity Guide (HD)
Do you know if a japan controller is the same as north america and the only difference is the packaging?
Your pricing is very low if you are buying on eBay. I 'm very sure that most of these controllers are priced much higher than what you state as a price guide. I think you need to rethink and double check your prices. In 2015 most of the these especially the fantastic and the Orange and Blue Pikachu plus the Donkey Kong black tipped controller is very, very rare.
How do you tell the difference between extreme green and atomic yellow? I just picked one up with an N64 lot.
I really want to get these controllers have the prices changes?
yo tuve uno en verde que me regalo mi tío cuando yo era pequeño
I'm a Canadian too! ^.^
where do you buy most of your nintendo/oldschool console stuff? im also from canada
Just checked the "Extreme Green" controller in the box, not opened and it's almost $800 on eBay. 🤣
The price of the Extreme Green has skyrocketed. It is a lot rarer than the other boxed controllers for the N64 in North America
how much is it now I really want an N64 controller and where can I get one
I like the Japanese boxes too
Does the clear/blue say made in Japan or made in China?
I thought of the sold colours, green was most rare
I can do a quick Australian version of this guide, just double all the prices.
How about the EA N64 Controller?
Additionally, if they only released 1000 Millennium controllers how is it rarer than say the Daiei Hawks and Jusco Japanese Releases?
Came here looking to price my watermelon controller in blister pack because I’m having so much trouble finding one…interesting 😅
If you have one of the sealed watermelon N64 controllers in the blister pack it's likely easily over $1200 in 2023
@@NintendoCollecting there is one on ebay right now in the US for $1440USD. It's not even in good shape, that is so wild lol. www.ebay.ca/itm/186256285271?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=dDS6_B1ITs-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=ODm8nuOwQNy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
I used to have the blue controller when I was a kid, but it broke...
help! I cant find n64 the watermelon and clear n64 box!!!
I saw an Extreme Green for $350 (Mexican Pesos) which is like $17-18 USD, but I didn't have enough money. :^(
Cool video. Mext time fo wii u & Nes Switch. I have some.
I hope this doesn't come off as rude, but do you have OCD? Just a common element among many collectors
Everett Armstrong I have never been diagnosed but I would definitely self-diagnose myself with a case of OCD
I think most people consider it a negative thing, but I feel like collecting is one of the best outlets for OCD. I know for me personally collecting satisfies my OCD like nothing else really can.
Everett Armstrong I can see that and it helps me I think a lot
I doubt that he has OCD. I took it upon myself to search up the symptoms for OCD.
Fear of dirt or germs or overconcern about body smells/secretions or the proper functioning of the body
Overconcern with order, neatness, and exactness
Fear of thinking bad thoughts or doing something embarrassing
Constantly thinking of certain sounds, words, or numbers, or a preoccupation with counting or checking
Constant need for approval or the need to apologize
Fear that something terrible will happen or fear of harming yourself or someone else
Compulsive behaviors
Frequently washing hands, showering, or brushing teeth or overusing items to hide body smells
Constantly cleaning, straightening, and ordering certain objects
Repeatedly checking zippers and buttons on clothing
Checking lights, appliances, or doors again and again to be sure they are turned off or closed
Repeating certain physical activities, such as sitting down and getting up from a chair
Hoarding objects, such as newspapers
Asking the same question or saying the same thing over and over
Avoiding public places or taking extreme measures to prevent harm to yourself or others
Religious rituals, such as constant silent praying
Does he has any of this? No, he's only collecting for fun.
***** That's for major cases. Most people with OCD don't have these symptoms. I have OCD and could care less about dirt/germs etc. :3
I have a a controller that's red in the front and blue in the back I know nothing about it
and i buy my og n64 controllers for 25$ to 50$ each.. no box nothing crazy how price changed xDD
How can you tell that the e3 one was fake?
Would I be able to use a Japanese controller on an NTSC and/or PAL n64 console?
Yes
hey lithium i have a question, do you know of the collector finngamer?
He always recommends them and is subscribed to him
He was my inspiration, I look up to him, and I even mention him in this video specifically at 12:56
wow, i facepalmed hard there. I don't collect n64 stuff just because i have absolutly no room for it all, but you were my inspiration to get an n64 and relive my childhood again. have a good day. :)
do the japanese controllers work on north american consoles?
Someone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE answer do you want to buy a tight stick controller or a loose stick
Swig smoove the tighter the better when its loose it doesn’t work as well
Omg you are amazing you have all :)
wouldn't the prototype Ultra 64 controller be the rarest?
can you show the price of the and games? not all of them but some of your favorites and the popular?
ones. whops
¿No manual book?
I think you price the Japanese boxed controllers kinda low, especially if you add shipping, as with the blisters as almost all blisters are selling for over $350 right now. Im really hoping this is just a fad and the prices will come back down.
I have a sealed watermelon red controller bought at a yard sale
The m2000 controller is so nice 👍 i will ih
Are the controllers region locked
I want a black, red, and gold
