i saw that, i dig it.

though as i play retro gaming challenge i wish you could plug an NES controller into the DS...

EasyCure · « **Reply #3 on:** May 21, 2009, 10:21:37 AM »

No, where can i find a good N64 controller that feels as close to the original as possible? All my control sticks are worn out from too much SMASH

I really thought/hoped that Nintendo would put out limited edition NES/SNES/N64 Wii controllers for those who wanted to splurge.

Taking a look at the link in the first post, it looks like a wired adapter which makes me wonder if it is just mimicking a Gamecube Controller. If so, I hope they've put some thought into how to get the buttons mapped correctly.

Hmph, i didn't know rain was on the forcase for our parade!

I have a gold N64 controller that's still in top condition.

I would use this with Sin & Punishment...

Ian Sane · « **Reply #7 on:** May 21, 2009, 12:39:37 PM »

I like this a lot. I keep my controllers in good condition so I have tons of spares to dedicate to this. Though it would be nice if Nintendo released something first party for those that want a more authentic experience but don't have the original controllers in good condition.

not that i advocate gamestop, but the two near me have n64 controllers there. you can also try ebay, but it is harder to see how well the controler is from a picture.

Tanookisuit · « **Reply #9 on:** May 21, 2009, 01:40:42 PM »

I have 7 Gamecube controllers, 6 N64 controllers, and 2 NES and SNES controllers in top shape. I want this thing.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #10 on:** May 21, 2009, 03:25:00 PM »

Why? To add it to your collection of unused gear? You're no Uncle Bob.

D_Average · « **Reply #11 on:** May 21, 2009, 03:40:19 PM »

best peripheral ever.

gojira · « **Reply #12 on:** May 21, 2009, 10:28:42 PM »

I'd maybe use it for Sin and Punishment, but the Wiimote and Classic Controller work fine for all other systems.

Flames_of_chaos · « **Reply #13 on:** May 22, 2009, 12:52:30 AM »

We already did a story on it but this is the first time I saw how the peripheral looks like, not bad for 20.

Regarding Nintendo 64 controllers, if you apply some ceramic grease to the analogue stick, it will practically guarantee that it will never wear out. Unfortunately the sticks can't be repaired, so if you don't already have one in good condition then I'd recommend tracking one down.

There are a lot of third-party N64 controllers out there, but most aren't even half as good as the official controller for a host of reasons.

UncleBob · « **Reply #15 on:** May 22, 2009, 09:05:42 AM »

I bought some N64 controllers from This eBay Seller and they were in great condition. Clean and with brand new thumbsticks. They also sell replacement thumbsticks, if you're technically inclined.

I'm not. care to send me one as a birthday gift :-D

UncleBob · « **Reply #17 on:** May 22, 2009, 09:46:52 AM »

I'm not either - that's why I bought the controllers themselves.

Mop it up · « **Reply #18 on:** May 22, 2009, 06:42:07 PM »

You don't need to have technical skill to replace an N64 controller's analogue stick or grease one up; the proof is that I, myself, am able to do it. If you know how to use a screwdriver and not sneeze on the circuit board, then you can do it. It's easy.

UncleBob · « **Reply #19 on:** May 22, 2009, 08:22:12 PM »

But I like squeezin' things.

Mop it up · « **Reply #20 on:** May 22, 2009, 10:04:10 PM »

Then you'd also like lubricating the analogue stick.

UncleBob · « **Reply #21 on:** May 22, 2009, 10:25:38 PM »

Your mom lubricated my analogue stick.

My mom's dead. You're sick.
