- Reviewed in Canada on April 4, 2020Verified PurchaseWith the Hori controllers being super expensive and rare, I decided to try out this retrobit controller instead.
I went with the grey as it's slightly cheaper than the see-through coloured variants.
This is an incredible controller.
It feels comfortable in the hands, buttons are perfect, they feel like the original, and are on point with their response.
The joystick is a godsend from the abomination on the original.
Perfect motion, response and so damn comfy even after long play sessions.
The Cablevision much longer than the original too, so you aren't forced to sit in front of your TV.
I've tested the classic platformers, Banjo-Kazooie, Super Mario 64, Donkey Kong 64, along with many others and even with those tight paths that require absolute precision, it's no problem using this joystick!
And of course having Turbo is always a great feature, making mario party or the infamous Canary-Mary a breeze.
My only complaint is having 2 Z buttons (the triggers)
I found myself ground-pouing when I wanted to spring jump alot due to accidentally tapping it with my right hand.
I think it would have been better to have the Z only on the left side and have the right only have the R trigger, but I eventually got used to it.
Overall I highly reccomend this controller, for the design, quality and great price you cannot go wrong!
- Reviewed in Canada on September 5, 2024Verified PurchaseIf Nintendo had this design originally, I think gamers might have been a bit more receptive to the N64.
The layout of this controller just makes sense when you take modern controllers into consideration. There isn't a single game that I can think of that would suffer any drawbacks from this design. Being able to access both the analog stick and the dpad without having to change grips is a blessing.
That analog stick is just so fluid though. It doesn't feel grindy like the original n64 controllers do (due to the gears). I can't tell if these are hall effect sticks but they seem to perform like them. I can get the full range of movement in Mario 64 from tiptoe to run using 100% of the stick rather than the first 30% from the center like so many other cheap 3rd party controllers - which I had most of back in the day.
No more sore thumb from the stick treads imprinting into your thumbprint either. Sweaty thumbs are also a thing of the past vs. the original slippery sticks. The buttons feel good too, especially the c-buttons. They just seem to work better with my big fingers. Originals are narrow and almost rounded at the top while the Retro Fighters' c-buttons are spaced out a wee bit more, flatter and larger in diameter.
The expansion port is a bit tight. It takes a bit of force to get a memory pak in all the way and it never actually clicks in and the Tremor Pack really struggles to fit in. Not worth deducting anything .
Cord is nice and long if you need it. I tend to drag the console out on the floor so I can hit the reset button though.
It's kind of surprising to see a turbo mode included given the dearth of shooters on N64 and I can't really think of many other games that would benefit, but hey it's there.
I'm definitely going to get at least one more of these in the near future.
- Reviewed in Canada on December 12, 2018Verified PurchaseThese controllers are great. The buttons feel responsive & tactile, rumble/save pack works, control stick has a good sensitivity for aiming in 007 or perfect dark. My only complaint is that the plastic feels cheap/hollow and the control/rumble pak release button has fallen out before. Overall these are very good and I recommend them !
UPDATE - 1 controller has developed a nasty squeak in the right shoulder button and the down arrow on D pad is very unresponsive.. I may disassemble and see if i can repair it.
- Reviewed in Canada on July 27, 2019Verified PurchaseThis controller is fantastic! I've had it for a week now and I like it so much I just ordered a second one. If you are getting this to use with that may flash adaptor thing for the PC then it might not work properly, mine doesn't, but I'm not sure if that's the controller or the PC in all fairness. If your getting it to use with an actual N64 though it works absolutely perfect! The only thing I don't like is the turbo button, but that's because I'm so used to the xbox one controller so sometimes when I try to push start to pause a game the button isn't where I'm expecting it to be and then my thumb will frantically start pushing around that upper area of the controller and it's possible to hit the turbo button by mistake. I did that yesterday and lost a race in World Driver Championship because I had ended up activating the turbo mode for the A button which is the gas in that game, by the time I realized that the controller wasn't broken and I had just activated the turbo mode it was too late. That was totally my fault but just be warned if your used to the xbox one controller like me the same thing could happen to you. I still LOVE this controller though and would recommend it to anyone who still plays their N64!

5.0 out of 5 stars Just awesome!
Verified PurchaseSuper comfort to the hand, one of the best D-pads I ever used, analogue joypad even better than original N64 with accuracy and precision. I m playing Golden Eye and F-Zero super easy with this. Much better than tribute 64. Recommend it for every hardcore N64 gamer.
BeerholikJust awesome!

5.0 out of 5 stars BUY WITH CONFIDENCE
Verified PurchaseBUY THIS CONTROLLER. They are great with fast shipping, packaging. And most of all product quality. All the buttons feel amazing and if you’re playing sm64 and backwards long jump(and scared of breaking button) THEY GAVE A CUSTOM RAPID FIRE FEATURE for any button you choose to bind it with. You won’t be disappointed, also controls way better

5.0 out of 5 stars Control cómodo para nintendo 64 con buen joystick
Verified PurchaseEl control es cómodo para jugar juegos de N64, me preocupaba que el joystick respondiera muy rápido, cuando jugué en la consola virtual con control de gamecube la palanca tenía movimientos bruscos así que batallaba para por ejemplo apuntar mi arco en Ocarina pero esta palanca responde casi igual que la original de N64 pero un poco mas sensible así que no batallo para jugar mis juegos en consola y cartuchos originales.
- GazReviewed in the United Kingdom on April 21, 2023
5.0 out of 5 stars Hits the nail on the head
Verified PurchaseI’ll admit, I’ve never been a fan of the N64 controller, the shape, the feel of it in your hands, the analogue stick , so as soon as i saw this it was an easy buy for me, the controller itself is immense, I would go as far to say it exceeded my expectations, it doesn’t have the build of a cheap 3rd party controller, instead everything is solid, well built thick plastic, the controller in the hands feels perfect, the grips are perfectly shaped and extremely comfortable, the D-pad isn’t “quite” as tactile as the original N64 controllers, but it’s by no means bad, if does the job and sits on a central pivot so there is no mushy inputs there.
The biggest star is the show however goes to the analogue stick , it’s ultra smooth , no dead zone at all, highly accurate, moving it in any direction in tiny increments is no problem at all, this goes far and above the original stick. Accuracy is comparable to a new Xbox one or ps4 analogue stick.
The face buttons are also good, they don’t have any gimmicky annoying clicky micro switches like a lot of so called “premium” controllers have, instead they function in the traditional way with rubber membrane pads, they do the job as good as any quality controller that uses the same membrane function.
As far as I’m concerned a must have controller for the N64
- GARETH GOODALLReviewed in Australia on April 15, 2022
1.0 out of 5 stars It's a no from me.
Verified PurchaseFor the $90ish AUD pricetag this sure does feel clunky and cheaply made. The unit i recieved has a strange deadzone in the bottom left corner, would need to modify the controller to get full range in that section.
Overall hand feel is average.
Not compatible with Gameboy Transfer Pak.
Overall not happy with this controller, have requested a return with the seller as it doesn't function as it should. has been refunded and returned.
