Every Nintendo 64 Console Variation - Complete Color List
This list covers all N64 console variations ever officially released or licensed by Nintendo worldwide. We consider a console variation a unique colored console regardless of its box or packaging, this means we are only looking at the standalone consoles in this list.

Console released in USA / South America / Europe / Japan / Taiwan / Australia / Canada
The Smoke Black is also part of the "Funtastic Series" containing 6 consoles
This is the second rarest Funtastic in Europe and the rarest in USA, probably due to the fact that it looks similar to the charcoal and was therefore less exiting to buy at the time

The Watermelon Red is also part of the "Funtastic Series", containing 6 consoles
This is the rarest Funtastic in Europe and the second rarest in USA.

10. Nintendo 64 Pikachu Dark Blue Console
Console released in USA / South America / Europe
This console has a unique console design. Pikachu's left foot serves as a reset button, the power switch is a PokBall and the cheeks light up red when the console is running.
In Europe this is one of the most common consoles of all due to the popularity of Pokemon
The American Version is rarer and also came as a bundle
11. Nintendo 64 Pikachu Light Blue Console
Console released in Japan only
This Japanese exclusive shares the same functionalities as the western counterpart (Cheeks light up, foot as reset button, PokBall power switch)
The blue of this N64 is actually lighter color, therefore it is a different console variation.
12. Nintendo 64 Pikachu Orange Console
Console released in Japan only
This Japanese exclusive shares the same functionalities as the western counterpart (Cheeks light up, foot as reset button, PokBall power switch)
The orange N64 is rarer than the light blue, but only slightly.
13. Nintendo 64 Battle Set Console
Console released in UK / Scandinavia / Australia
The Pokemon Battle Set falls out of line from the Pokemon consoles so far. It has no additional functionalities, therefore a unique graphic design on the console
In EU it was only available in UK and some Scandinavian regions
An identical N64 called Pokemaniac Edition was Released in Australia
The UK and Australian Version were bundled with a Promo VHS Tape
14. Nintendo 64 Gold Console
Console released in USA / Japan
This console was a Toys R Us Exclusive
The North American version also came with 2 golden controllers
Was never released in Europe, although UK got a charcoal N64 with a gold controller
Sometimes also referred to as the "Zelda N64" for no real reason
15. Nintendo 64 Daiei Hawks Console
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
16. Nintendo 64 JUSCO 30th Anniversary Edition Console
Console released in Japan only
Colors of the JUSCO are slightly different than the Smoke Black and the Blue/Red Clear consoles
This console was released for the 30th Anniversary of JUSCO Stores that were shortly after closed and rebranded as AEON
JUSCO is the acronym for Japan United Stores Company
It is often considered the holy grail of N64 console collecting, although this is debatable since quite a few have shown up over the years
17. Nintendo 64 All Nippon Airlines (ANA) Console
Console released in Japan only
This console was given away by All Nippon Airways (or ANA) starting April 1st 1999. For the time period of 3 months a random flight chair was chosen when flying in one of the airlines unique Pokemon branded Airplanes. 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)
Bundled with: Pokemon Stadium + Hey Pikachu!
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:

18 Nintendo 64 Hyundai Comboy Console
Console released in South Korea only
Due an import ban from Japan, the N64 was distributed by Hyundai in South Korea
Later in the 90's the consoles in Korea where replaced by the Japanese Charcoal Grey console because the import ban was lifted
We actually went to Korea to find one, you can read the whole story here:

19. 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
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
