Trivia

On May 14th 2002, Nintendo announced that it would reduce the retail price of the standalone Indigo, Jet Black, Spice Orange and Indigo/Clear GameCube controller in the US from $34.95 to $24.95.
This markdown also took place in Europe less than two weeks after the console’s release, from €39.95 to €34.95 for the Indigo, Jet Black and Indigo/Clear standalone GameCube controllers.
This was the first controller variant released with the launch of the Indigo GameCube on September 14th 2001 in Japan.
*About the South Korean release date: The GameCube was released in South Korea on December 14th 2002, so I assume the standalone Indigo was released on the same date.
The Indigo controller has the most internals and stamp variations, tied with the Jet Black controller.
The Indigo controller has the most standalone packaging, with 7 unique boxes.
