Some ASCII art for N64's 20th B-Day

Question

The official release of the Nintendo 64 in North America was on September 29, 1996.^[1] I figured that this anniversary deserved an ASCII art challenge. There's one small twist though, you have to output a different ASCII art for each of three different inputs.

If the input is 1, output this ASCII art of an N64 Controller: _(source)

                 | |
             _,.-'-'-.,_

|  `-.______   ,' _ `.   ______,-'  |
|      |    `. | (_) | ,'    |      |
|      |      \`.___,'/      |      |
|      |      |       |      |      |
|      /      |       |      \      |
\     /       |       |       \     /
 `._,'        \       /        `._,'
               \     /
                `._,'

If the input is 2, output this ASCII art of the N64 logo:_(source)

                  .-"-.
               .-"     "-.

               "-.  |  .-'
                  "-|-"

Finally, if the input is 3, outout this ASCII art of a console and TV: _(source)

              o

`-'              '-.`-'  ,      V
                    `---'

Rules:

Input may be either as a number or a string/char.
You may have any amount of leading or trailing spaces and trailing or leading newlines. (Output must be aligned correctly though)
Your submission may be either a full program or a function.
No retrieving the ASCII art from the internet.

This is code-golf, so smallest byte count wins.

@Emigna I realigned the cord and took the liberty of altering the controller to look better, as nobody has submitted any solutions yet. — DanTheMan, Commented Sep 30, 2016 at 6:18
I'd suggest restricting this to just the N. The others are probably too intricate to do efficiently except with plain string compression which is rather boring. — Calvin's Hobbies, Commented Sep 30, 2016 at 7:47
There's a ' or two in the N that I feel should be ". It's bothering me. — mbomb007, Commented Sep 30, 2016 at 14:12

JavaScript (ES6), 907 904 903 bytes

Implements a compression by successive substitutions of the most frequent sub-strings.

This can be compressed significantly more (down to about 850 bytes) by assuming Windows-125x encoding and using replacement characters in the range 0xA0 - 0xFF. But the result is just ugly. :-)

let f =

n=>[...Array(78)].map((_,i)=>s=~":<=>ABNOSV\\^_`imov|".indexOf((c=String.fromCharCode(125-i)))?s:s.split(c).join(['\\','NINTENDO',`
`][c]||"9|XsD'RE405398T08kU8K0\"-G/'0|W7/;_E/C62G5|557970..-\"6_ /|52F8@04D\"`.-','??7 25\";7|3 3|4 .-662|---. |4|43__4433  ".substr(k+=2,2)),s="c99JE_,zP;,_27fX39fe,PH3197`;2 MG_cwQ2/G_|9_cE(^)G0@F_G_Xw(<) (>)9208_X (S)E(B)3(v)n@Q57ZK(A)4M|@3`;fGM _ QGf,PF@H4Q9 (_)9 M8H@HaQZM/HH@HHbHH@jHbaH20gbbqg2 Q_M50K/5Q_MJqgJ5Q_M~c3DIJKyIJjIED|Jg4I[FJ4/j49eDInjHKDI2yp/jb4yI@;ERT/dnIED|@3';[x3/59Y'4I[F@E0a/GDI3/'dUaayI59UqH;ER0dU5T93I[4lHU5 0885l8rt3uwlFr tF854l|r3tu4:0.5rGt|[email protected]';F3R0d84'.0.4zep|[xb87p0RJE0H8J7TuJKIF3zJwp|[~57o2EoK/2ag2qnJ0YeCCfW.LL?-;k{{{{|CCC||_WOO ]]].

console.log(f(1));
console.log(f(2));
console.log(f(3));

Making-Of

The above JS was generated with the following PHP script, where "n64.txt" is basically the concatenation of the 3 original pictures separated with ~ characters.

<?php
  $str = file_get_contents("n64.txt");

  // ignore line-breaks between 2 pictures
  $str = str_replace("~\n", "~", $str);

  // replace backslashes with 0's
  $str = str_replace("\\", "0", $str);

  // replace 'NINTENDO' with 1's to have more uppercase letters
  // available as replacement characters
  $str = str_replace("NINTENDO", "1", $str);

  // replace line-breaks with 2's
  $str = str_replace("\n", "2", $str);

  // $skipped is the list of characters that can't be used as replacement
  // characters (backslash + anything existing in the original string)
  $skipped = '';

  // $dic is the replacement dictionary
  $dic = '';

  for($i = 0; $i < 75; $i++) {
    // $r = current replacement character
    $r = chr(51 + $i);

    // can we use it?
    if($r == "\\" || strpos($str, $r) !== false) {
      $skipped .= $r;
      continue;
    }

    // look for the most frequent 2-character sub-string
    $count = array();

    for($n = 0; $n < strlen($str) - 1; $n++) {
      $s = substr($str, $n, 2);
      $count[$s] = isset($count[$s]) ? $count[$s] : 0;
      $count[$s]++;
    }

    asort($count);
    $keys = array_keys($count);
    $s = array_pop($keys);

    // add it to the dictionary
    $dic = $s.$dic;

    // replace all occurences with the replacement character
    $str = str_replace($s, $r, $str);

    printf("'%s' => '%s' %d\n", $s, $r, strlen($str));
  }

  // generate JS
  file_put_contents(
    "n64.js",
    sprintf(
      "n=>[...Array(78)].map((_,i)=>".
      "s=~\"%s\".indexOf((c=String.fromCharCode(125-i)))?s:".
      "s.split(c).join(['\\\\','NINTENDO',`\n`][c]||\"%s\".substr(k+=2,2)),".
      "s=\"%s\",k=-2)".
      "&&s.split`~`[n-1]",
      str_replace("\\", "\\\\", $skipped),
      str_replace('"', '\"', $dic),
      $str
    )
  );
