favorite console color variants

wickedcestus

tombo that Switch is so beautiful! I used to own that Gameboy Colour as well! (I just had the idle wonder of whether they actually changed the spelling for the Canadian/UK release, but sadly it seems that they did not). I always wondered if there was a reason companies did not do the semi-transparency thing anymore, like maybe the insides of tech doesn’t look as cool anymore. Turns out, nope, it still looks cool! Guess it just went out of style.

I have been very partial to the Char’s Zaku versions of the gamecube and wonderswan:

Also thought of the zaku one, but I don’t like having the logo, and don’t like that the port bit is black. Reminded me that there was that stripey Henshin Tigers one though, which I also like apart from the logo.

Would consider collecting stripey consoles.

I thought you were confusing the Hanshin Tigers Neo Geo Pocket for a Hanshin Tigers Wonderswan but nope, turns out there’s a Hanshin Tigers Gamecube I didn’t know about. Although now that I think about it their NGP also looks pretty good.

That one has the added bonus of being a Swancrystal and actually having a usable screen, which is a big plus.

Also, on a semi-related note: turns out retromodding is making Neo Geo Pocket Color shells and buttons now. Pretty sweet considering mine’s been in terrible shape since I got it and they’ve gotten real expensive since.

I like the zaku wonderswan more than the gamecube!!

But I think my favorite wonderswan is the mama mitte light blue one:

yeahhh, that tigers NGPC is great.

I’m waiting for those NGPC shells/buttons to come in cool colors before I get into any modding.

I really love this 2DS, but it came out after I bought the transparent blue one.

Ah, that’s a nice one - looks like salt water taffy.

the Black Friday black Nu 3DS (not large)

hard to believe the best 3DS was also the cheapest.

well the white version was likely the best one but owning white apple products has taught me I’m filthy.

Dunkr I was wracking my brain trying to find the one I had on google, and it turned out it wasn’t a Sony at all!! It was this weird thing that my grandma gave me after her trip to Australia (??):

Also mdr is French for lol

kory Even though I should be contented by my 3G Vita with PSVSD, that neon orange slim is right up my alley and I may one day have to grab one.

Big-ol-dumbo That one looks especially great with the hanafuda plates:

I got this 2DSXL for pretty cheap last year. It’s a little ridiculous, but I thought it would be fun to have as my primary DS for the foreseeable future after my OG 3DS started to wear out. I like the brown d-pad and buttons. they’ve done a lot of really good pokemon themed consoles… my GBA SP was the torchic orange one, which has a very very faint outline of Torchic on the back of the screen area.

Not so much console as controller, but this is my favorite Dreamcast controller, and the line of color VMU units are cool beans mayne.

Oooo yeah. I had one of those Millenium DC controllers, but mine was

Reminds me that I ordered this XBO controller

I guess I like blue-green controllers, ’cause this is the gamecube one I kept

a bit of fun trivia

I always thought the Magic Knight Rayearth Game Gear was one of the coolest things ever made, especially since it came with a red-colored cartridge of the MKR game so it would match the console. I never felt like I could justify the expense of actually buying one though…

exodus

yeah, that’s good as heck.

I always wondered if it was just the coca-cola game gear repurposed (or the opposite, whichever came first)
