While not a full blown console, there's this Pocketstation. The standard are the clear and white. Pink was included with Tokimeki Memorial 2, while black is for Game King. The yellow one, I have no idea as I found it with when I got a few extras. Unlike some random clear ones that have yellowed with sunlight and air, it is evenly yellow and not stained for its color. There's no online information I can find about it.

My parents gave me a spongebob gameboy as a VERY young kid and I thought because it was spongebob that it would be waterproof and played it in the bathtubI think I at least made it up for him by buying him a modern console

Outside of variants which add direct functionality (like the Twin Famicom and New Famicom featuring composite video, or the Panasonic Q Gamecube allowing for DVD playback), I think some the best potential among special variants are all in one console+TVs and handhelds, since both have a more immediate impact on your experience while playing, because unlike most standard home console variants, you're looking directly at the thing the entire time you're playing.
That said, picrel is one of the biggest fumbles I can think of.
>cool design
>built in SFC
>cartridge slot complements the look of the TV, with the inserted cartridge's label immediately visible
>...but it only has S-video output for the internal SFC
>even worse, it is mono audio only
Even if you could argue that some of the blur effect of S-video is a positive for the image quality, why not include a toggle to allow you to use the cleanest possible video output (RGB), considering the console was designed to support it? Why only have mono audio, when again, the new console built in to the TV has stereo audio output, one of the console's new features compared to the original Famicom? Sure, it was cheaper to manufacture with mono audio and a single speaker, but this TV was a premium product, and all you're doing is hosing buyers out of the best possible experience, lest they spend even more money on a set of external speakers, which undermines the novelty of it being an all-in-one setup for SFC gaming.
As much as I want to like this thing, it's retarded that out of the box it's an objectively crappy way to play SFC games.
