My 2,500 Mile Journey to Buy The Rarest Controller Made

Join us on a 2,500-mile journey to California to secure one of the rarest pieces of gaming history: the Star Fox 64 E3 Gold Nintendo 64 controller! Only 25 of these ultra-rare controllers were made and given to winners of a Star Fox competition at E3 in 1997.
We’ll meet with a collector ready to part with this golden treasure—but can we close the deal? Along the way, we’ll dive into the fascinating story behind this legendary controller and why it’s become one of the most sought-after items in retro gaming.

Julio and his brother are legit. giving back to the community that made them is so wholesome and that he kept saying that shows how grateful he is

[rogerdouglas]

like 8 months ago. glad it went to a good home

Julio and his brother are the epitome of how collecting and this community can be. I'm not a kid anymore and probably older than all of you, but I respect the hell out them and hope the best for them truly

Me and my brother Julio usually hook people up with deals 💯

N64 was the only console I ever owned because we were really poor growing up. My mom somehow pulled off getting one the night they were released and that's what we got for Christmas that morning. 2 of my brothers and my dad have died since than. Still one of my favorite memories from all time.

Julio and his bro just do it for the love of the GAME ❤

[jakubalexander]

You did the seller really dirty with that thumbnail

[justinks]

You know how rare it was. Could have helped a friend who helped you secure a super rare controller. Took advantage of his kindness by making him wait even when he threw you a fantastic offer. Say what you want but that was just a little scummy..

[alittlebitofeverythng]

6k bro he dropped 4k on it. You YouTube famous man. You got the money

13:29 dude got high af and had a zen moment of clarity, lol

I didn't knew the rarity background story of this Gold controller, I'm from Mexico and here that controller has also a grail status but for different reasons.
Back in those days Nintendo had official representation here, with legal distribution, a Tv show and most importantly: Club Nintendo, the monthly magazine which back then mentioned they acquired this same controller on E3 but had it autographed by art director Takaya Imamura and Shigeru Miyamoto himself. This controller was the price for a contest dynamic where the person who achieved the highest score in Star Fox 64 would win it as a reward.
It's been some sort of a mystery on our gaming community who ended up winning this controller or who currently owns it.
Great video! New subscriber!

I’ve been painstakingly making identical replicas of these for the last couple years! These are amazing looking controllers!

[neilarnold]

All I can say is as crazy as the deal was with Julio & his brother, that controller - *chef's kiss* Like I'm honestly speechless with this video to truly describe it. Congrats dude. Have a wonderful day.

[PixelGameSquad]

See…dreams come true at So Cal Gaming Expo ❤

[matt-lang]

Man what a positive video showing how chill a lot of this community is. Julio and his bro are legends for being so generous, and Twysted as well for giving a deal on that controller to someone who's a real collector.

[vincehernandez]

Congrats, Chase. You can tell it means a lot to your collection, and that's what collecting is all about.

[NerdNationUS]

5-10k controller in a $3 3d printed box. Congrats guys I'll need to come out and see it in person!

[emovybez_]

Its crazy that people will drop prices, im sure he gets great deals because people know of him but dude cant cough up an extra 1k to someone whos been a supporter for over 10 years…. Maybe its just me but first time coming across and not a fan..

[JohnnyUtah]

Crazy to think Metal Jesus led me down the retro Rick, pixel game squad, catrp, Phoenix resale rabbit hole.

[ALfillups]

Insane. I always see Twisted in pixel videos and wondered who he is, cool to get a back story about buddy haha
