Trivia

  • This Crystal Chronicles set was released as part of a contest in Japan, where only 150 were raffled as a prize, making it the rarest official GameCube controller.
  • This controller is themed around Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles.
  • The contest was hosted by the Dengeki magazine and was announced on June 23rd 2003 on their website. It could be redeemed from the “Presents” section of their website on July 2nd, or from either the September issues of the “Dengeki GameCube” (July 19th) or “Dengeki Games” (July 30th) magazines.

  • While at first glance it might look the same as the Europe exclusive Pearl White, it is actually different. The shell colour underneath the paint is ivory instead of white, which gives the Crystal White controller a deep golden sheen not present on the Pearl White controller.
