Console released in Japan only

This amazing looking N64 also inspired the Gameboy Color and the Game Boy Advance to have the same color design released. It was only available in the Daiei store in Japan and its real name is simply N64 Daiei

Often called the "Daiei Hawks" referring to a Japanese baseball team this beauty was actually a store exclusive and had nothing to do with the sport. The confusion likely happened because the Daiei Store was also a sponsor of the baseball team at the time.

The orange and black color is actually different from any other N64 console

The lucky winner then received the Nintendo 64 ANA with a special delivery box posted to their home

The N64 console came with a ANA logo printed on the expansion lid (Not a sticker)

Another interesting fact is that these consoles have very high serial numbers since the N64 was already released for 3 years before this promo took place

You can read up on the entire story in our detailed article about the console here:

19. Nintendo 64 IQue Console

Nintendo 64 IQue Console
Nintendo 64 IQue Console

Console released in China only

This one is a bit of an oddball. Yes it is actually a N64! But to be honest we don't think it fits well here but we have to include it in a list of official N64 Consoles by Nintendo

In 2003 Nintendo officially launched the N64 in China and chose to use a different design. Considering the console was already released in 1996 likely not a bad idea. Although it seems to have flopped. They are pretty rare to come by and were released in 3 different package variations

N64 Bundle with: Dr. Mario

Current Total Count: 19

Honorable Mention: Nintendo 64 Lawson Station Console

Nintendo 64 Lawson Station
Nintendo 64 Lawson Station

Console released in Japan only

Won through a lottery in association with Lawson convenience stores the Lawson Station is theoretically a console variation but it was never confirmed officially licensed to this day. Although it is super rare we have to assume they just slapped a sticker on a regular Japanese Charcoal.

Therefore we do not count it as an official variation but for reasons of completion we give it a mention here.

The console has the J league logo on console and controller

It came in a standard Japanese Charcoal Box

Congrats on the new site! And kudos for displaying a proper image of the Lawson Station set. Trying to conceal the branding is just silly.
Thanks No64DD, welcome to the new site. Nicely spotted! At the time we thought it might be a little too easy to just replicate the sticker (There were only 2 owners back then). Now other images have showed up so it's time to show ours off in full detail!
Love the new site guys!! I am just curious, are these listed in the order of how rare the consoles are?
Thank you, glad you enjoy it! We usually do these lists by "relevance" trying to create an order that makes the most sense. We start with the release models, move on to more common limited editions and finally the super rare or super unusual stuff at the end.
Very nice the new site!! It has a very effective way to involve the users in improving the database
This is so cool! I would love to see this for all the other consoles!
OMG all the N64 crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
