When I saw this post on X, it instantly warmed my heart. Italian gamer Alex Floch has given his son an incredible gift - a custom-made Banjo-Kazooie N64 complete with BK branding and an amiibo holder. It's a fantastic custom console, designed to mirror Kazooie's feathers, with blue accents for Banjo's backpack.
Take a look at the badge too - seeing Banjo and Kazooie holding onto the N64 logo is amazing, and having Kazooie's eyes poking out of the little amiibo holder hole on the top of the console never gets old no matter how many times I look at it.
The translucent shell also reminds me a little of the honeycombs that Banjo collects for health throughout the game too - this thing is awesome!
Here is the Nintendo 64 BK, my creation that I gave to my son, a big fan of banjo kazooie. Hdmi & with amiibo housing 😊

The fact that Alex has made custom controllers that match the casing of the N64 for his son is an amazing touch too, as is the HDMI port at the back of the console. Alex's son won't have to mess around with the RF Splitter like I had to use back in the day.
The console has even attracted the attention of the game's composer Grant Kirkhope, who commented to say that he loves the design, and that if he's ever in Italy, he would put his signature on it to give it that extra Banjo touch. The father of Banjo-Kazooie Steve Mayles has also popped up to say that 'BK is gonna feel twice as good on this!'
Honestly, and I'm not just saying this because I'm Italian too, but Alex could be the greatest dad of all time. My dad made me a lot of pizzas growing up, but I would have loved it if he came home with a custom Banjo-Kazooie N64 instead. I've loved the bear and bird for as long as I can remember, and I hope that they stay a prominent part of Alex's family for years to come. Tu sei il migliore, Alex!
