6: Pikachu Nintendo 64

Pikachu Special Edition N64

Chances are you’ve seen this one at some point. Released during the height of Pokémon’s early popularity, this cool console featured a Pikachu and a Poké Ball on opposite sides of the system as well as Pokémon branding on the controller. It’s not terribly hard to find at the moment and well worth picking up – they’ll start disappearing soon!

    Triforce Game Boy Advance SP?! That thing looks amazing, and it’s even the same color as the Wii remote that came with Skyward Sword! But I am quite fond of Minish Cap.

    Whaaaat? No Ocarina of Time 3DS!? That thing was beautiful! XD

      Well I did consider that one, but I didn’t want to use both the 3DS and the GBA SP because they’re quite similar. I’m also a child of the GBA era and I’m quite nostalgic for it; the simplicity and colour of the Triforce SP really appeals :)

    Pretty good list. You could have taken things one step further with the GBA SP Triforce edition and listed the one that Miyamoto signed.

    Also, I like the Pikachu 3DS XL, but I think the Charizard 3DS XL that was announced recently for Pokémon Centers in Japan beats it for the awesome factor.

    Sadly, I’ve never had the opportunity to own a special edition console.. I always get mine day one :(

    I would have put the Zelda 3DS! I was considering selling mine just to get that one!

      I know what you mean – I’ve rarely seen any of the items on this list, aside from the N64 which I couldn’t quite afford. They’re best to pick up just after release because they often disappear quickly.
