How fitting that a console commemorating Rare would be one of the rarest consoles ever

[andreou]

I can’t believe I’ve survived this long without hearing about The Incredibles GameCube.

[DekuStickGamer]

And now because of this video, all prices quotes are now tripled because of demand.

[NintendoCollecting]

So many cool variations - that useless glow in the dark Game Boy is so necessary

[JonnyLOV]

Contestants competed to see who could survive longest in Battletoads. At 6.8 seconds, the winner received a console.

Don't care about stickers/colours/words. But those custom Boot/Eject sounds?!?! YES

[NotGodlikeWZ]

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

[Forever_Zero]

5:57 Custom sound effects? Damn, more special edition consoles should do that
13:47 This is the cruelest challenge imaginable

[NanaKyoto]

Dang, these rare consoles look pretty sharp.

[Fanatic_Foremem]

watching these after grocery shopping was a bad idea, some of these actually sound affordable.

[cakelikeowen]

I bet that FRGMT Joy Con has so much drift by now

[DrButthugger]

Hell yeah love the Liam Robertson videos!

[Eramaeis]

That glow in the dark Gameboy and Pepsi twist special bottle caps is FUCKING cool

[CrustyDoormat]

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.

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.

[Mental_Health_Matters]

What is even rarer is to find MTV playing actual music videos

[Evercade_Effect]

I love video game history like this. As always I really enjoy your channel.

"These are very rare consoles, " places on the edge of kitchen counter for pictures.

[BAIGAMING]

9:37 Oooh Metarot, I wish they'd localize those games

[questbest]

Just bought a Pepsi DS last night unopened! I can't believe this video just cane out hours after!! Once again another amazing video 🥤👍🏼
