No, you're a retard. You'd have to be a huge fucking gorilla to accidentally break the N64 controller. That shit was made back when Nintendo were known for durability, the Fisher Price of console manufacturers; that's why we used to joke about "Nintendium." That's why my picrel (a bombed-out Game Boy from the Gulf War that still fucking runs just fine providing it's fed AC power) exists.
The N64 controller destroyed palms. Palms - or thumbs - did nothing to this beast.
The Switch on the other hand? The build quality is fucking garbage. I know this is anecdotal, but I don't fucking care: My original four N64 controllers survived weekly "lads' nights" where a bunch of rowdy teenage boys would get together and fight and eat while playing multiplayer games. All four of them are still in perfect condition. But my fucking Switch? I've had to send the joycons back to Nintendo TWICE for "repairs" that never do jack shit. My friend's joycons have the same issue. Even when they aren't drifting, the range is pathetic. Every other console I own sits under the big TV on the other side of the living room, where it can be seen from the couch. The Switch? That has to sit on the fucking coffee table, like 7 feet closer, or the joycons are constantly dropping out.
Face it, Nintendo can't build shit anymore.

You never know. I've seen some pretty terrible looking shit in this thread that the owner was able to get working again. Even if it's not salvageable you can at least say you tried, which is a more noble sentiment than just throwing things out based on appearances alone. If you can actually bring it back to working order you'll have quite a conversation piece.

>Can you honestly not see the difference between a Commodore created in the 1980's that has been running for over 30 years and Chinese low quality crap?

No because I was referring to the GB Boy Color (which doesn't seem to be as easy to get anymore, better add one to your hoarding checklist!) and not the C64, another mass produced product.

I'm still confident to say that, despite you thinking I'm destroying the Library of Alexandria for installing a pro-sound mod and a frontlight kit into my DMG-01, the hardware is preserved elsewhere by dozens of professional curators that probably do a better job than you and the resellers to preserve history of a few pixels destroying each other.
