I remember as a kid going with my dad to toys r us to buy this right around launch day. I paid for the console and Mario 64 with my own piggy bank / birthday money. We also paid more than what’s shown on the ad, I think that was the reduced price later on. The sales person working the cage (they had all the consoles behind fencing during this era) almost didn’t give us one because we were in a “day early” which we didn’t realize. But the dude was like screw it and gave us everything anyway breaking street date. Went home and played Mario 64 straight for 2-3 weeks. One of the best gaming memories for me that is firmly engrained in my brain.
