There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I have to admit though, mine came with a slightly depressed left bumper (not quite as strong of a spring back feel) as the right bumper. This is likely just a manufacturing error and doesn’t affect my experience with it at all but figured it was worth noting for the very serious enthusiasts. Input lag feels almost nonexistent to me 🙌🏻 and the shape of the controller fits my hands perfectly.
All in all very happy with my purchase
I was also excited about the controller being rechargeable, and having about 10 hours of play time per each full charge. I haven’t timed my play time since I’ve last charged the controller, but it has definitely lasted a few hours so far!
The buttons are responsive, and I love the ergonomic “modern” feel the controller has in your hands. I haven’t noticed any lagging in the games I’ve been playing, and I like the playability with the joystick on this controller as opposed to the original Nintendo controller. I think eventually I’ll pick up another one of these controllers for multiplayer games, because the blue/teal option is really catching my eye, too.
Overall, I’m very impressed that Retro Fighters was able to create a fully-functional, wireless controller for a retro system like the N64. Now I’m hoping that eventually they’ll release a wireless version of their “StrikerDC” controller for Dreamcast!
I bought a red one in late 2021. Just this month (Oct 2023) one of the trigger buttons began to fail by not reading inputs. Banjo would randomly crouch and stand up when holding the trigger down for example. Talon trot was impossible. Retro Fighters was willing to replace the defective unit which I really appreciate.
Buy this controller. Very recommendable and very hard to beat with a company that stands by their products.
The dongle broke off inside the n64 after just the first time I removed it. For some reason it’s entirely too tight in there so breaks off easily. The wires are intact so it still works but I have to grab it from part that broke off to remove it.
I’m not returning it because I desperately wanted a wireless n64 controller and the controller itself works great but this is an issue so I still removed 2 stars from my review and took away all the positive things I said about it.
Also strangely enough there is one game I noticed that doesn’t recognize the controller pak in the dongle and that is fighting force 64 it thinks a rumble pak is inserted every time and that’s after trying my other controller pak as well. None of my other games do this with the controller pak so that is very strange.
Like I said earlier I plan on keeping this anyway because everything else about it is great but it’s super annoying that it broke off like that
Update
I used super glue on the part the broke and it seems to be holding up luckily none of the wires broke the times I removed it. But of course you shouldn't have to use super glue for a brand new product. This is a great controller other than that. Its a shame they can't get the dongle right some other reviewer had the same exact problem. Only other issue is that game I mentioned that thought the dongle had a rumble pak in it. I wouldn't be completely surprised if more games do this but in my testing that's the only one that did.
I'm also going to get the retro bit n64 wireless controller to see if its any better it seems to have good reviews when used for n64 but not switch that one is supposed to be used for both but I just want it for n64. I still am going to keep this controller because its fine with super glue on it but this whole thing just doesn't make since though. I will update this review if I think the other is better or not. I could use 2 wireless controllers anyway for better or worse. Its so strange how its such a great quality yet they mess up with the dongle. Its not like those cheapo madcatz controllers back in the GameCube ps2 era or even worse its not like anything produced by power a from these days but that dongle thing is still a huge problem. At least I fixed it for now anyways
Update
The super glue is still holding up. Also I got the other controller the wireless n64 controller from retro bit. I like the retro bit one better the dongle didn't break off inside. That game I mentioned still does the same thing on retro bit with memory cards though I kinda figured it would. I also like the thumb stick better on retro bit it has the rubber grip with grippers on it. I do think this brawler controller is more comfortable to hold overall though. Also retro bit one rumbles and its a tad cheaper though not much. They are both great high quality controllers and I'm glad I have both, even though I got upset about the dongle though glue is still holding up. I went ahead and added back one more star. Apparently not most reviewers had it break off inside, much more people would have mentioned it if it did for them. So all in all its a great controller that game that does recognize the controller pack is not a game a ton of people have anyway so that won't be a problem for most.
I use the original wired controllers when we're all playing, but this is the only controller I use when I'm playing Star Wars: Rogue Squadron by myself. If Nintendo had it all to do over again, THIS is the controller they would have made.
Absolutely amazing.
