While the result of the emulated Nintendo 64 games on the Switch might have left fans wanting for more, others were eager to get their hands on a modernized N64 controller. However, if you didn't already get yours ordered, you likely won't be able to get your hands on one until next year, at the earliest. The $49.99 controller is sold out on both the Nintendo US and UK storefronts, with the former noting that while you can't order any for now, more controllers are on the way, and will be available sometime in 2022.

Now I want one.

I can see that. The Genesis controller feels a bit cheap, so light too.

I didn't buy it, but when you consider their SNES controller is $30, I really can't tell what the Genesis one has over it. The N64 controller has built-in rumble and an analog stick.

That's a real disappointment, but also not that surprising, I guess. Way too many Genesis controllers are total crap (looking at you, hyperkin genesis controller) and feel horribly light compared to the OG.

It might be good for the Genesis collection. I tested it, not surprisingly no issues. Better than the expansion pack, but I did buy the expansion pack mostly for oot.

the genesis collection is really bad

???
I thought it was considered the least comfortable Nintendo controller of all time?

It's also the best way to enjoy the N64 library of games.

 

[godreborn]

I like it. I'm nearly at the end in phantasy star iv, so I don't plan to play the expansion pack version.

What about 8BitDo?

I use some of their controllers with the minis. Not bad imo.

I've owned a few of their SN line.. I don't know if I've heard anything about the MD controller though.

 

[godreborn]

I have wireless for the nes, snes, Genesis, and psx classic, but I can't recall what Genesis ones I have.

It is. Nostalgia goggles cloud the minds of people with too much expendable income.

Waiting till i see how they work after a bit of playing before I buy. hopefully they have decent stock next year.

 

[Marc_LFD]

If it was a GameCube controller, I'd be all over that. The weird alien N64? Pass.

 

[Chary]

What about 8BitDo?

Decent, but still doesn't compare. I know 8BitDo tends to do great with most of their controllers, and I like their SNES Pro whatever one, but their Genesis wireless controller? Eugh, no thanks. It has a bit too much give to it, and feels cheap.

I'm hoping they restock in the UK this year, the mega drive controllers haven't even went on sale yet.

I have streetmerchant checking for stock in the UK, I'm not paying £100+ ebay prices.

Retro pads are a huge waste of money considering the new pads that exist.
But anyways, fools and their money, you know how it goes.

 

[Robika]

While I didn't get that, I got the Mega Drive controller, should be here this week Not a fan of the OG N64 controller to be honest.

I am considering getting the 8bitdo one with 6 face buttons and the adapter. Cheaper option wonder if you can set the games to use all the buttons.
