nintendo 64 controller/worst controllers of all time
Ok so am i the only person who did not like the 54 controller very much?!? Now I did not hate it at all but honestly the d-pad was useless and most game you did not have the choice to use it and the analog stick was kinda odd in the middle.
The main thing that bothered me the the fact that the analog stick tends to break on those and for some odd reason there's always white powder around it.
What do you think bout it? Whats your worst controller?

Re: nintendo 64 controller/worst controllers of all time
You need one of these.

It won't fix the problem with the joysticks breaking, but I've noticed that SuperPad control sticks seem to break must less often (at least from my experience), and on top of that, it fixes how damn awkward (albeit badass) the controller's design ones. I picked up on for $10 at a flea market a few years back. Not as cheap as I probably could have gotten it online (never checked), but it was an impulse buy, and one that I've never regretted.

Also, I don't think this is in the right forum. It should probably be in either "Nintendo" or "General Gaming"

Re: nintendo 64 controller/worst controllers of all time
Yeah because of the category I thought this thread was going to be about how much better Sega controllers were than the N64's (which isn't that bad as a controller, unless you play Mario Party)
Which by the way, would be hilarious to read.

Why Sega controllers were better than Nintendo's
The D-Pad.

I think worst controllers is as good a topic as any maby it should be in another area but this has helped me already.
I have never seen this controller before the n64 up above

The hori controller is a good pad. And also the dreamcast controller is a lackluster POS. Id deal with n64 controllers all day before i deal with that terrible d pad. Or the dead zone joystick or that cord that comes out of the bottom. Seriously who thought that was a good idea?love sega as much as the next person. But please stop putting everything in the sega forum. Fanboyism is no good.
