    Another controller you should look out for is an ultra-rare twin-stick controller I've seen but not been able to find much info on. It's called Alpha 64 and was made by Nyko.
    Just seems bizarre and the only games I know that even possibly could use both sticks are Goldeneye and Perfect Dark.

    • @CommodoreFan64
      @CommodoreFan64 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I have one I found at a flea market for $1, but the shoulder buttons need fixing, and yeah it's weird as you can flip a small switch on the back to use either the left or right analog stick(can't use both at the same time, and some games freak out when you flip the switch in mid game play), and it's the design Nintendo should have done with as thumb sticks are built like tanks with a metal shaft, and are tighter then even new official N64 controllers. Also it was made by Nyko. here is a page that has a review on the controller

In games like Duke Nukem the analog stick moved you, and the D-pad changed weapons. With a stock controller it was a pain moving your hand back and forth. So smooth with this controller.

    I have that glove. Found it in a store and promptly looked it up; there was almost no information online. Brought it home, hooked it up, and it was a NIGHTMARE, just an absolute nightmare. It seems specifically designed to cause wrist strain. Rotating your hand and wrist around moves the analog stick, and you have to move it a LOT to push the stick all the way. It actually functions fine, it's just a nightmare to actually use.

    Ever hear of the Championship Joystick for the SNES? Incredibly rare and obscure, but absolutely fantastic. It's basically a giant plastic box with actual Happ arcade buttons and a Joystick, and it's phenomenal for Turtles in Time, Street Fighter, and Smash TV.

    2:56 There was a variation of that pad, the Makopad, which you can see in the selection from the UK's Official Nintendo Magazine (0:17, top left). I always wondered what that would be like to use, but if the Super Pad 64 is uncomfortable, then chances are the Makopad would be the same. Which is a shame, as it was one of the more intriguing controllers to look at when I was a kid.
    On another note, the Arcade Shark looks awesome. Never had any fighters other than Smash Bros on my N64, but I would've tried to get it for the novelty alone. Having a D-pad along with a stick reminds me of the Hitbox Cross-Up.

  • @BasicTechGirl

    WTF? the Super pad was the only good N64 controller out there. only pad I would use and all my friends would use. best for playing smash bros.

    When I saw the V3 it brings me back memories! I still have it! I used it quite a lot for Star Wars Episode 1 Racer! It was so damn better to play easily with it than the official controller!

      It feels so good to play it, with all the speed! I remember that when I played this at one of my brother's house, he let me play it with the game project on all his wall with the lights out. It's so immersive!

    • @Redhotsmasher
      @Redhotsmasher 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Matijony ...I have SWE1R and a V3 (though the cable to the pedals broke (that plastic stabiliser pin snapped) so I have to use the face buttons on the wheel) but I don't think I ever tried combining the two (WipEout 64 was kinda fun with the V3 though), I gotta remember to try that sometime.

    • @Katiaemy
      @Katiaemy 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Redhotsmasher I have all the V3 set, not just the wheel, so it looks really like if I was in a real car! And it all still working even after more than 10 years!

    I had a gamecube style controller I bought at a GameStop back when the N64 was still being sold there. I had found 2 of them and I loved the controllers, except that they seemed to break easily. They felt great to use and worked fine after we replaced them.

    I had the luck to get my hands on the Hori on a bazaar since I was a kid (same color too), and yep, unless you play games that REALLY needed the D-pad (like Kirby 64 or Pokemon Stadium and whatnot), it is gloriously confortable!

    I too have had the Interact brand Superpad 64 featured at the three minute mark. As a matter of fact I've owned two separate units of it. The first one I used regularly until the top of the thumbstick broke off. I later managed to find another one at a local Gamestop and bought it as a replacement. It too eventually had the top of it's thumbstick break off, go figure! The top of the thumbstick breaking off seems to be a recurring problem, possibly a design flaw.

    I loved the Super Pad 64 that you hated. I used it instead of my first party controller back in the day. I hated the original N64 controller, but loved that one. I have never had a problem with the stick as it had a metal base. It is still my go to controller haha

  • @Bladez1992
    @Bladez1992 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have the big arcade pad/joystick thing and the handheld wheel. They're both amazing for any racing game, especially Mario Kart, and the arcade pad works great for Super Mario 64. The joystick on the arcade pad also screws off of the d-pad if you want to use it that way or just for storage. Pretty neat devices actually, just a bit limited to what they actually work well with

  • @WinVisten

    I actually see what they were trying to do with that second superpad you brought up. The fact that they had the joystick and a d-pad both on the left side clearly means they were trying to sign as controller to be more conventional and more adequate by actually making it a two handed controller as opposed to the traditional N64 controller that's looks like a three handed controller.

    I found a version of the SuperPad 64 (the 2-arm one, not the shark-looking thing) called the SuperPad 64 Ultra in a thrift store. Much nicer to hold, and the "awkward sideways angle" problem was corrected. If you ask me, either that or the Hori is how the official controller should have been designed

  • @Ziyoblader
    @Ziyoblader 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    The retro bit hyper mode controller looks identical to one I have but it's from a company called ASCII it has sliders like the one in the video you have in their color matched to the button that they will trigger for turbo the joystick seems to be identical to the normal N64 controllers the color of the controller I have is a see-through Brown / purple

    @ty16080 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    When my family got our N64 (just after they came out) we got a controller with it that was similar to the original except all three grips were a lot wider. We fondly called it the “chubbs” controller, since it basically looked like a regular controller that had put on a few pounds, but unfortunately we got rid of it before too long.
