N64 fans, I've got two questions

[MarioMania]

Just ask Nintendo about it

[Drakon]

I'd take the mako pad over the hori one

Just for you, FamicomRetroGamer. http://techsquid.blogspot.com/2012/05/i-explain-why-n64-controller-is-best.html

You could aways use a gamecube controller with your N64--if you're willing to pay.

1. maybe Nintendo assumed that carts are still placed back inside the box before putting in the shelves. inside a box would be awesome. but a bit hassle to open and play it up again.

2. mostly n64 games uses the analogue stick right.. hmmm.. when i first played starfox 64. i have really problem with the controls. but i get used to it as time passes by.

That Hori Pad doens't really look like you're able to play Mischief Makers with it. At least it doesn't look like you want to play any D-Pad game with it 
I think the N64 controller is the best one Nintendo ever made, and the precision of a new analog stick is unreached if it weren't for its shitty durability. .

1. I love the N64 but I hate that the carts are not labeled on top.

2. I know I am in the minority here but in all my years of gaming I consider the N64 controller to be the absolute worst piece of crap I've ever used and not just because of it's unnecessarily weird shape. The thing just feels like a toy, especially the analog stick, which has NO RESISTANCE at all. You push on it slightly and it flies right to the edge of whatever direction you pushed. I stopped using that controller when I started playing 1080 Snowboarding. That game takes extremely precise control, which I found to be impossible on that flimsy analog stick.

That's when I found the Super Pad 64 and I fell in love. This thing is a masterpiece and totally worth spending a little extra on. My 1080 skills went through the roof when I got it. Check it out:

I have never touched the standard N64 controller since and I am a better person as a result

Found one of those at a pawn shop for $6. Haven't had a chance to use it yet.

You found a good deal then. They are selling for anywhere between $18 and $30 on eBay right now.But if anyone's interested there are currently two auctions that are selling N64 consoles with this Super Pad controller for $24 Buy It Now price. That's a steal!! Shipping is $15 but that's to be expected.

Really? Maybe I should just flip it then. (I have 5 controllers, that's one too many). It doesn't have a label but other then that it looks brand new.

EDIT: Here's one for barely over $1

Yeah, but it has already been bid up to $5.50 and has ten hours left. It will probably get up to the normal rate before it ends.

I have just replaced the analog stick in my N64 pad and now it plays as good as new. I feared that the replacementstick would feel too much like a GC or PS stick, but actually it feels very much like the original. Though, I'll still use my old wobbly pad for F-Zero X as it prevents me from oversteering^^
