trust me, you don't want the back to be rubberized. 10-15 years from now, that stuff is gonna either start cracking and disintegrating or get sticky as it slowly turns back into crude oil. it's also hard to clean and easy to damage. textured hard plastic is always the best option.

The irony is the N64's Joystick actually uses more advanced tech than most newer ones. N64 used an Optical sensor for its joystick, and not a potentiometer like most modern controllers. It was legitimately a more precise joystick, and if not for their strange choice in the stick itself it would be longer lived than most modern joysticks.

This controller looks like it would be awesome for the Sega Genesis games as well because of the six button layout.

If you think about it, this still offers an accurate N64 experience. Everyone had those 3rd party N64 controllers, some of questionable quality, and some that people would argue was better than the stock one.

Definitely looking like a good 2nd or 3rd player remote for N64 games, appreciate your always showing us not just the functionality but the build quality of tech out here.

Its funny how THIS should have been the way the N64 controller should have looked like back then, such a small change would have made it infinitely better, it even would have cost less to manufacture. But of course thats easy to say in retrospect, Nintendo surely thought that giving it 3 grips was the only way to go back then.

I like Retro Fighters. They provide a good high quality alternative for retro consoles. Especially with OEM controllers getting more expensive but as great as they are. They definitely should improve the D-Pads. Definitely takes the controllers down a few points, just feel mushy. If they can get those D-Pads feel less mushy they'll be near perfect.

Really glad you made this video. I've been trying for months to acquire the official N64 controller with no luck. The scalpers are not going to get my money with a 100- 150% markup. This looks like it could be a nice alternative.

I’m glad I was lucky enough to grab a couple of the official Switch Online N64 controllers. It was a huge pain and took several months of waiting for a restock though.

So glad the Brawler is getting more love. They make N64 a joy to go back to

I love retro fighters. Still can’t wait for the blade gc

Thanks so much for explaining where ZR button is located on controller as I looked as other videos and even the retro fighter website and no one else explained or showed where the ZR button is at all. Thank you very much.

Definitely perfect for MK Trilogy on Switch someday. One thing that was awesome about the N64 controller was the six button layout which just made it playing the game less jarring. It was perfect for playing the perfect home version of MK Trilogy back in the day.

Ok update...I just got mine in the mail today. I must say the feel and button layout is perfect simply perfect. The button presses the flatness of the buttons are perfect. I wish more controllers felt like this. It only needs a low profile smooth rubber grip all around and it would be awesome. Thanks again for the video.

Man I love these Sunday tech videos you do. Please please keep them up

You’re slowly morphing into Chris Pirillo

Would playing Goldeneye be easier to play with this controller than the Joycon/Switch Pro controller?

[pizzamike]

I think I am going to purchase this controller, the six button layout could work really well with the genisis titles like ultimate mk3 would be a nice addition to the genisis online.

A new way to not hurt your thumb without moving the D-Pad. Bombs away.

[ramonaltamirano]

Thanks for the great video. This design seems to be what I would like a modern 64 controller to be. I love the big buttons and the fact that they don't rise that high. I'll be picking this up.
