Original Nintendo AV cables

fargo23

I need help with organizing the original AV cables that came with the SNES, N64 and Gamecube.  I know the N64 had a grey head (plug).  



So my question is what color is the Super Nintendo and Gamecube version?  Or rather what do they look like?  I think the gamecube version is black and the SNES was an aftermarket cable.  Any info or photos would be helpful. thanks.

SNES was grey also. Gamecube were black. They were sold separately in stores during the lifespan of all 3 systems, so packaging was updated but there was definitely some overlap. I worked at BestBuy during the Gamecube era and even after we sold out, we kept getting the N64 era cable packaging, so it's not as definitive. But I guess officially SNES & N64 should be grey, Gamecube should be black.



I should also note that once we did get the black Gamecube S-video cables, we were still receiving N64 era packaging RF adapters that had the NES/SNES lettered RF modulator inside.

I recently started wondering if late N64s started coming with black ones.



I started buying Funtastic systems recently. These are all second hand, but I noticed I'm getting a lot more black official AV cables.

I think this is definitely a possibility.  I've got plenty of one owner systems with black cables as well, so my guess would be a late N64 switchover date.
