    2:50 Retro-bit's Wireless Tribute 64 is the SUPERIOR modernized controller. Fight me and split the fandom, fellow N64 fanboys. Also, I'd have to disagree that the original controller wasn't comfortable or ergonomic. Just a weird layout and the stick wears easily (but only needs injection-molded plastic to fix).

    I'm not just trolling or being awkward but I switched off immediately when the first thing you added was the Retro Fighters controller. Looks the part, perhaps, but the stick sensitivity/gate on this thing is all wrong. Makes playing some games excruciatingly either twitchy or dull.

    • @retroperfection81
      @retroperfection81 5 місяців тому

      I can understand that, I haven’t had any problems. You seem like a guy that needs the OG experience with original or near-original controllers, and that’s just fine. However, most people just want to play their games they remember as a kid and don’t care about any of that. I would consider myself a highly sensitive (and anal) gamer and I have no problem with this controller. But I also didn’t grow up with the 64, I was a few years older and grew up on the NES, Genesis, and SNES. So I completely understand where you’re coming from when you complain about about the stick on the Retro Fighters - my d-pads have to be perfect for me to play my old school NES games. So I understand. But I guess my whole point is that 95% of the people playing just won’t care about that.

    • @shaun8062
      @shaun8062 2 місяці тому

      Yea I prefer the original controllers. If I absolutely have to replace the stick with a modern stick, I've found the 8bitdo hall effect stick works much more nicely and accurate than the retro fighters and other after market controllers. I do not however like to use it with the rest of the wireless 8bitdo kit, bc with the current state of the firmware, it makes the stick overly sensitive similar to brawlers. If you use the 8bitdo hall effect stick in a regular old wired controller, it works very well. I'm very picky about accuracy too. I will take an original stick any time first.

  • @Trump_Is_Your_President
    @Trump_Is_Your_President 7 місяців тому

    My only complaint with the N64 is that even with an HDMI output card being installed, the graphics will always look horrible on an HDTV. There are so many artifacts, triangular dithering, blurry filtering, and a number of other unappealing graphical artifacts that appear to be difficult to remove. Take Star Fox 64. It looks horrible due to dithering. It would have to be stripped out of the code itself before it ever hit the video processor in the N64, and I'm not sure how that could be done after trying to look into it. In essence, I gave up on the original console and started playing N64 games on other systems because they look much better that way.

    • @retroperfection81
      @retroperfection81 5 місяців тому

      Yeah you’re not wrong on that. Honestly, I don’t play mine on an HDTV, I am blessed to have several old CRTs to play on. When those go kaput I guess they’ll have some awesome texture packs or something for N64 games lol

      While you do need a N64 memory card (controller pak) for some games, you can backup the N64 memory card onto the SD card with the Everdrive 64! You can even have a different backup for each game, or different controller slots. If your memory card ran out of battery and you lost your saves on it, you could retrieve them from the SD card.

  • @syncmonism
    @syncmonism 10 місяців тому

    The original controllers have their benefits. When the control stick is in good condition on an original controller, it is actually significantly more precise than modern controllers. Modern control sticks can feel far too sensitive in some games, making fine and precise adjustments much more difficult. Modern control sticks use potentiometers, whereas the N64 original controllers use optical sensors which are actually more precise. The huge downside of the old N64 sticks is that they degrade relatively fast over time, though you can reduce the rate of this by using silicon based lubricant (either powder or gel). Brand new OEM controllers are highly valued by many speed runners, but my own personal opinion is also that OEM controllers in good condition feel better in some games because of how precise they feel. You can buy replacement parts which are more or less the same as the factory original parts, but they seem to be a little bit less consistent and a little less precise than the originals, but the parts are cheap and relatively easy to replace yourself, and even if it's not getting quite as good as a brand new OEM control stick, it will likely be far superior to a control stick which has seen significant wear. The only good brand I know for those is Kitch Bent. The parts for a full replacement come to around 6 USD, but you'll want to buy a bunch at once to save on shipping costs, which could be around 10-20 USD (or more) depending on where you're ordering from. There are also metal control stick parts which significantly improve the reliability of the sticks, and will retain the precision of a brand new control stick for a long time (though they are not all equal, as different people have made them). Nobody has ever managed to produce them quickly enough to meet demand, so people have often had to wait YEARS before getting them, and some people have gotten screwed over by sellers who took their money and then never filled the order. Good quality metal control sticks are HIGHLY prized by speed runners, and have sometimes sold for thousands of dollars.
