2 alternately-coloured Nintendo 64s. These particular colour schemes released only in Japan and Europe.

The Nintendo 64 was the eighth game system released by Nintendo, and their last home console to use cartridges until the Switch. It was released in Japan and the United States in 1996, and Europe and Australia in 1997.

Even though it was outsold by the Playstation (mostly due to the Nintendo 64's cartridge-based media, compared to the Playstation's CD-based media) during its lifespan, over time it has been proven to be the most well-remembered of the generation. Many of its games reached "Best of All Time" lists, and some were also remade on newer systems like the Nintendo DS, 3DS, and Wii.

Trivia

• In Japan, a disk drive add-on (similar to the Famicom Disk Drive for the Famicom) existed, called the 64DD. Unfortunately, it did so poorly in Japan that an international release never happened.
• Some games required the usage of an expansion pack, which added extra RAM to the Nintendo 64. These games used the extra RAM for various purposes, usually graphical.
• It was the last Nintendo console in Korea to be sold through Hyundai under the "Comboy" brand. Later systems would be sold in Korea directly by Nintendo.
• It was the first Nintendo console to support 4 players from the box. The NES and SNES, granted, had 4-player games, but these required special devices like the Four Score.
• Receives much more credit today than it did back in the day.
• Was once the subject of a popular internet video, called the Nintendo 64 Kid, which involved a kid flipping his shit over getting a Nintendo 64 for Christmas.
