One note on the Brawler 64 - it is NOT compatible with the Transfer Pak so no Pokemon Stadium transfers from your OG Gameboy cartridge. I know the Hori mini pad is compatible with it, and of course original Nintendo brand controllers are too.

I didn't grow up with the N64 (had a PS1 that generation) and have only played N64 at friends' houses or after the fact and I really don't like the OEM controller. Like...at all. To the point I bought a Brawler64 for my Switch.

1:58 The statement he just made is soooooo WRONG that I should not even have to say what's wrong with it.

Where's the madcatz one?

The OG Nintendo 64 controller looks weird, but works amazing well for those games. It's one of my favorite controllers honestly.

Well... Looks like I'll be picking up a used OG controller on ebay.

I just recently got an N64 controller and opted for an OEM that had its stick replaced with a Hori/Gamecube-ish style one. Gotta say: The stick is my only complaint. It's got a pretty big dead zone and an abrupt sensitivity curve. I was worried about the wear and tear on an original stick but now I'm wondering if that would have been preferable. Also one thing that bothers me about all of the two-grip designs except for the Hori Mini is the D-Pad is placed for the left hand only, meaning you can't really replicate a left-and-middle grip style. Could be a problem, depending on the games you're playing; that control style is rare but not unheard of.

lol knew this guy didn't know what he was talking about the second he said the oem stick is "flawless" are you shitting me

Bro is glazing about how "good" the n64 stick apparently is 😂

What about the Nintendo Switch Online N64 controller?

I got it working but my Livesplit keeps crashing with it during runs :( Any idea how to fix it?

Alguien sabe donde conseguir repuestos de acero para remplazar la palanca y accesorios internos del joystick de n64, me refiero a todos los empaques e incluyendo la palanca y base en acero, se que un tipo los fábrica, alguie sabe?

What would be the best settings to render the video too?

You should have put the switch online controller in there as well. It’s literally a Bluetooth OG controller.

I now I have 4 wireless original controller 👌

TROOPER!!! Happy Anniversary of the original Pete Weber moment! I’m gonna celebrate by crocheting a pizza poncho!

I'd love to see where an actual hori controller would do place on this tier list

The VLC version wasn't working for me anymore, January 2024, but using 64 bit 3.0.8 fixed it! Thanks for the video, the layering was a super cool idea!

So that's what's wrong with my usb controller

The OEM with a replacement analog stick is a better S-rank than the stock analog stick. Stock analog stick on the OEM breaks down, rendering it useless...

I'd probably use the shell from one of the 3rd party controllers to replace a ratty old OEM shell, also if I wanted to kinda make a switch to a different color that may not have been officially released by ninty themselves; Old Skool makes a pink and red one for example (Peach themed) that looks pretty cool.

2:25 nah you're so full of shit. that so called "S" tier gave me a sore ass thumb.

Thank you so much for doing this! I absolutely hate having to do this myself until finding a GOOD controller that won't cost me 90 bucks.

For people who are still having issues here. Make sure you use the newest version (Currently 3.0.18) and make sure you download 64-bit. Struggled to find it personally but 32-bit doesn't work

I have a Retro-Bit Tribute 64 wireless, it's the only wireless option so far to feature rumble built-in, so far I haven't had any problems with it!

The video itself in livesplit doesnt show in my obs

No review if they rumble or not 😢

The inext is my go to. I have 4 oem's and a hyperkin gathering dust. You still can't use the sniper rifle in goldeneye but oh well. I even love using it in turok rage wars, least you can adjust the sensitivity in that game.

Something tells me you didn't test the precision when playing goldeneye. Many third party controllers have joysticks so sensitive that goldeneye is borderline unplayable.

Is it true only real controllers work with the transfer pac 🫠

No superpad 64 plus? smh

i have no issues with my F rated controller using them on mayflash adapter and retroarch

I have original, Brawler64 and the Hori and I'd put them as follows 'S' tier - Hori, 'A' tier - Original & Brawler64. I'm currently trying to get a Switch N64 controller to pair with a bluetooth receiver I've just got

brawler64 or tribute64? looking to replace my used n64 controller because the thumbstick is STIFF!!!

UNDERRATED VIDEO!!! Seriously and thank you so much!

I wish you included the steel stick 64 controller mod

Thanks for recommending the Hyperkin adapter. I was in search of a good adapter for my N64 controllers

Holy crap, I think value wise the chonky miadore makes it S tier. $15 for a two pack is insanely cheap.

Yeah that third party classic controller is HORRIBLE, I bought one and to play goldeneye with it was more or less impossible when it comes to precision aiming and so on, its all or nothing when turning 😅 Recommend people to stay as far away from it as you can the joystick is only a plastic cover smacked on to a cheaper type of controllstick inside the controller and yes a have opened it up just to have a look at what the hell was going on 😄 Just stay away from it.

I’m only looking to play WWF No Mercy where the analog stick is not used for anything accept hitting a special similar to activating an ultimate so every once in a while in a match and it being pressed any direction once activates your special move so I’m saying this to say the analog is not a factor at all. What is a factor is the D Pad because thats what you use to move around. So what is the best controller where I’ll be using the d pad and face buttons mostly A and B then sometimes c buttons. I ask because one of those controllers the d pad seems to be an after thought being placed a very short distance from the face buttons.

This isn't the first video I've seen where someone claims to have their original N64 controller and says it works great. I'm beginning to believe one of the following is true. 1) It's a conspiracy amongst Nintendo fans to rewrite history within the public consciousness. 2) The QC of the original N64 controller varied dramatically by region. While some people complain about the N64 controller for its odd design, I never had a big issue with it at the time. What I had an issue with was the shockingly bad durability of the analogue sticks. With every (first party) N64 controller I bought, within a month the analogue stick was loose around centre and it felt like absolute crap because it was grinding plastic on plastic. While it was technically usable, as time went on it would become a chore to use because the wear wasn't uniform, so the resistance would vary depending on direction and travel of the stick. Eventually it would not register the full travel and that's when you gave it to your friend to use as player 2 while you enjoyed the short-lived experience of an N64 controller in good condition. I see in a comment below that you've responded to that you acknowledge "the analog stick basically turns to dust after not too long", yet you didn't mention this in the video. You slipped up! I know you're a part of the Nintendo fanboy illuminati who are pushing the false narrative that the analogue stick of the N64 wasn't a poorly designed piece of crap!

Lost interest when at the 1:40 mark when he talks about how the original controllers have a crazy lifespan and fantastic durability lol. They were notorious for having the worst joystick on the market and still rated today as having the worst joysticks. Those things wore out super fast even for the most casual players. Even the new re-release of the official N64 controller got a ton of bad press for keeping the same joystick tech from the original.

How good are those amazon knock offs of the orihinal Hori controller compared to the tribute 64? I honestly like the original one shape more but i'm not sure about the quality.

Um When I Download Vlc 2.2.1 Livesplit Says I Need ActiveX Plugin Where I Download That?

Look at it. LOOK at it. Now stay far away from it.

How many of these have you never seen before?? Let me know if you want to see more SM64 Secrets that haven't been covered in 100 other videos already 🤫

About the analog stick. It's a been a long time but I saw someone who made a 3D printed analog stick with thumb dips for this controller so your thumb doesn't slip. He replaced the stick. Unforntunately, I can't find it.
