    Default In Celebration of Nintendo Power's 100th issue, Gold N64 Con

    Not your average Gold Controller.
    I was debating whether or not I would bid on this if I was old enough. Maybe some day but not today.


    P.S. Sorry if I messed up the url. I'm not a computer person... yet.

    Only difference is what appears to be a crooked, black blob of a Nintendo Power Logo at the top.

    I have the issue, but I can't say that I still have the NP Supplies catalog he's talking about still kicking around.

    Yeah its legit, at least it looks like it is, the picture is from pretty far away. I have this controller, bought it from NP myself all those years ago. Its basically a gold controller with a foil NP sticker on the top.

    Nintendo Power held a Mario Kart 64 time trial contest shortly after the game's release. A gold N64 controller was the main prize for getting a top time.

    I then remember seeing them in the supplies catalog a few months later, which was around the time of the 100th issue.
