Possible leak of the N64 Mini?

I have seen them and for each one that turns out to be true, there are twenty that are false.
Yep. Perfect, but not too perfect in a fake way. Has enough subtle detail to not at all look like a render. This would be seriously tough to render. If it's not a render, it has to be real.
It's designed differently because there is an LED pass-through on the cover, plus the plugs are vertically oriented vs horizontal, and there's 4 ports. Design will be different.
If it's fake, it's very well made. But I'm still inclined to doubt that it's genuine.
In particular, the address listed on the back is for NCL in Kyoto. But the Classic consoles are developed by NERD. The address on the back of my [North American] NES Classic is for NoE in Frankfurt, Germany.

I don't understand the physics of what's happening in the lower left shot. It looks like the cord would be going through the faceplate in order to plug in like that. And as others have said, that is a very long distance for that faceplate to be extended. Plus it looks too clean overall, I'm going with render
This is what the ideal line up would be (Rare games excluded for obvious reasons)

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

I mean even if it's fake, this is exactly what it's going to look like including the pull out ports. Though here they do look ridiculously awkward to plug the real controllers in.
Perhaps the flap can't just drop down because the controller ports need to be sideways and therefore much more lower compared to the SNES/NES. You need to be able to shove four controllers in there.
And if the ports were positioned correctly, the controller adapters would bump each other.
If fake it's well thought out.
It's fake but Nintendo should hurry up with their reveal and launch it alongside the PSX mini in December, like a week earlier or later, then we would have a consolewars like in the 90s. That would be so cool, hahha. Just put some unreleased 64DD games (F Zero add on, Ura Zelda, etc.) on it and people would go crazy xD
Worth it for Ninja and Mischief Makers alone. But I've learned not to hope when it comes to those old niche 64 games I rented from weird grocery stores back in the day.
The original "leaker" tweeting it to multiple news sources makes it seem a bit too desperate to me? Like they're a YouTuber who wants the traffic
Assume fake until Nintendo announces. People are way too good with photoshop, 3d printing, and trolling

Edit: looking up model number shows mod clv 001 as nes classic and mod clv 201 as Snes Classic. This has mod clv 401 in the pic. Doesn't mean much as someone could easily see the pattern, but I just noticed it and wanted to say.

Well if it's real, then I hope they fix this shit because it looks horrendous in those pictures.
That's my point, if those are photos of a physical N64 mini, there's no way they're fake. No way in hell.
As I said before though, if they are fake physical, they're the best fakes ever. Doesn't seem feasible to produce moulds to this level for a hoax.
Edit: guess we'll just have to wait and see
Yup, totally agree with this. The NES and SNES ones hardly came out much at all, that bottom left picture on this one looks totally fake.
The same reason the SNES Classic has the eject button, just a matter of faithfulness. It probably won't open either, like the NES cartridge flap
Also for what it's worth it seems like CLV-401 isn't taken. 001 was the NES Classic, 101 was the Famicom, 201 was the US SNES, and 301 was the Super Famicom. So that part is well researched if it's a fake.
Just had a super quick go at "leakifying" this image heheAssume fake until Nintendo announces. People are way too good with photoshop, 3d printing, and trolling

Original is way too clean for a leak. Haha
That's clearly a product render. Not an actual product. Someone has thought "what would a 64 with the Classic design language look like"
And they came up with this. Taking photos of the screen tho? Clever attempt to mask that but you see zero texture on the device that you would IRL with plastics.

Whether these images are real or fake, it would make sense for an N64 Classic to have a false memory expansion hatch etched into the plastic in order to emulate the look of the original console. There's no way that the mini console would have an actual memory expansion port, though.
Could as well be real. The cover coming all the way out would make sense, with the way the plugs are set up and them being closer to the surface than on the SNES.
If it's fake it's extremely well thought out and rendered.

If they make one, I think they really should try including versions of Pokemon Stadium with an integrated Gameboy Tower. Mimicking the connection between Stadium and Red/Blue/Gold/Silver could be a big selling point especially considering the Nintendo 64's limited catalogue.
PlayStation Classic also has the expansion port on the back. It's purely cosmetic.
Too good to be fake. #teamreal
But i'm waiting per GB classic (also the version in cell-shell it's ok for me...)

Looks like a picture of a screen. What ever the leak is supposed to be of is probably product pictures of it. I don't know though with 3D printing and shit these fakes can literally be real physical items. It could be fake in that it isn't an official product, but real in that its actual non functioning mini n64 mockup someone physically made. That said, we do know its coming at some point so even if this is fake its probably more of when than if. I have no idea though so I'm going to go with it's a real physical item but not sure if official.
