1.0 out of 5 stars Joystick is worthless., June 21, 2008

This review is from: N64 Retro Bit Controller- Blue (Accessory)

I bought this item two days ago and wrote a review on it (same controller but different box, thats how I can write two about the same product). I gave it three stars out of five because the joystick was too sensitive and my on-screen character would start moving around randomly throughout the game which made it really hard when you wanted to shoot something. Well, two days later the joystick does not work. You have to push forward to go right and backward to go left (and that only works sometimes - I don't know how to go forward or backward). I bought this remote brand new and still in a case so I certainly hope this is just a faulty remote because three more are on there way that I didn't get canceled in time. I wanted this kind of remote for my N64 because it was new and I could not find new originals anywhere, however I think that buying a used good remote would be better than buying a new bad remote.

Avoid this at all costs. I bought one to replace the original controller that came with the console, and was hoping for magic. It's been how many years since the N64's release, so the technology has had to improve, right?

Wrong.

As a test, I popped in Perfect Dark, since precision is key. The turning was horrid. She turned way too fast, and made aiming impossible. Just to make sure I wasn't out of practice, I plugged in an official controller that still worked, and the game ran fine, just like it used to.

The handling is also rather awkward. I have small hands, and it was still odd grasping the controller because they shortened the length of the left and right sides.

Go get a used controller if you want to actually play your game effectively.

I haven't tested this item on the n64. But I have tested it on my n64 emulator. It may work on the n64 ,however, it does not work on the computer. It moves like a squirrel on crack was controlling it. Buy it if you want to try it on the n64 but if your a computer gamer do not buy it.
