Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

The feel of the * is really close to the actual n64 controllers. The button press is a little longer than the original and makes a small click when pressed. Construction feels solid, the * feel great, as well as the dpad surprisingly (able to pull of ...  Read More

Was also, received early - in about a week.

Packaging/appearance


The nintendo logo and rumble pack are removed but this didn’t detract from the experience.

Competitiveness


I use them with openemu and the gameplay is nearly identical to the n64.


The joystick is tight with decent resistance and is only a little bit less sensitive than an original which is more than can be...  Read More


I wanted to play some n64 games again, so we researched and found the kiwitata store.

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Too many people throwing these things a 3 star review based simply on their own oversight is ridiculous and not reflective of the actual product you get here

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
