Heya all,

My last N64 controller is about to give up the goose. The stick has got so wobbly it has become nigh on impossible to play some games. I know Nintendo doesn't manufacture new ones any longer, but is there anywhere that you guys have found that sells reliable, good condition N64 controllers in at worst, near new condition, preferably brand new?

    Gameswap / local trade-in game stores / pawn stores.

    Try before you buy, if you can. Look for signs of significant wear ... they may point to faulty buttons and such.

    local gamestores are pretty anal about the quality of N64 controllers they take in, so you can get good controllers there.

    Hori makes a N64 pad that has a gamecube analog, so that may be a better option, though I haven't used one myself.

    Last night I actually went to my local game shop to pick up a 64 controller. The guy let me try out the controller before I bought it. He was really cool about it.

    I also could only find one copy of Goldeneye, and some kid had drawn all over it. The guy gave me the copy he was playing instead. So, that was cool too.

    And 10% discount for being a college student. I fucking love the place.

    Basically, go local. They're always awesome, and Gamestop raped all of the game shops in my area except the one..
