>can't move forward while holding L
lol no thanks

>>4637002
What a gross case and top label

>>4637010
It's not actually that bad. You will feel a little jiggle under the left shoulder button but neither the operation of the button or the stick gets interrupted.

>>4637026
Those cases are way better than the shitty cardboard boxes they came in.

>>4637027
When would you ever even need to do that anyway. The L button never gets touched hardly ever unless it's for a map or something.

Regardless this controller is probably a piece of shit anyway and impossible to play fps with like every other 3rd party 64 controller. Aim flying all over the place but that doesn't matter if you're just a little faggot that plays zelda

>>4637054
On this one that's not true. The sensitivity is perfect.

The L button thing isn't a problem at all.

>>4637032
You don't have to pretend just because you threw yours away as a kid.

>>4637063
>you threw yours away as a kid.
>implying he isn't a 19 year old that just got into N64 collecting 6 months ago and bought all of his games off of eBay complete with Blockbuster rental stickers and sharpie marker

>>4637063
I actually still own most of my N64 boxes but I keep them hidden away in a bin with protective plastic cases around them because I am deathly afraid of damaging them. I made a bunch of universal game case covers so that I would be able to store my games properly on the shelf without risking damage to the boxes whenever I open them up to play.

>>4637063
You don't have to pretend paper is better than plastic. We're all adults here I assume so don't be a fucking idiot. Enjoy never taking your games out of your musty old boxes.

>>4637073
I've had n64 games longer than you've been alive kid.

>>4637059
I saw the metaljesus video on the controller and him playing quake 2 it looked awful he even turned the sensitivity down on that game. It could have just been him being a fucking retard though which wouldn't surprise me either

>>4637073
Here are some of my original games and boxes + the new cases I made.

>>4637110
to each their own i guess...

>>4637054
I haven't had any issues with the sensitivity, but I'm also use to higher sensitivity in FPS games, so I'm probably not a good gauge if you like it slower.

>>4637086
>I've had n64 games longer than you've been alive kid.
Considering you weren't alive in 1999, I sincerely doubt that.

>>4637086
Other way around my dude.

>>4637107
Jason is a national treasure. A hidden gem, if you will.

>>4637158
Born in 1984 so I doubt it dude. I have around 80 n64 games.

>>4637178
Did someone say hidden gems?

Christ, this controller's constant shilling is getting to me.
For those who have had experience with both, should I order a new Horipad or pre-order for the next batch of these? I really enjoyed my horipad but it broke accidentally.

I'm not sure how I feel about the controllers sensitivity.

>>4637554
I have no experience with the HP, but if that's what you like, you're probably better off with it.

This controller is just okay. Strong, strong emphasis on the words "just okay". Sensitivity is off. Z triggers are analogue instead of being digital instantaneous buttons, there's been some reports of initial build quality issues (a buttons sticking, memory cards not being seen despite regular n64 controllers seeing them just fine). My own experience with it has been mostly positive as an alright but not perfect replacement for a standard N64 controller, which is pretty much what I was expecting. I think it'd be better if the controllers costed their KS price by default instead of $35 or whatever.

6/10 it's okay. They might do some revisions to fix things like the Z Buttons, along with probably fixing other issues backer versions have. You might be better off waiting a bit for the batch AFTER the first major preorder batch, just in case.

>>4637627
Alright, thanks for the in-depth info anon. Guess I'll hold off

>>4637010
Name five (5) games that use the control stick and the L Button at the same time.

>>4637147
The cases are nice because they allow for organization and don't fuck up the original boxes, and it's a better looking option than having a bunch of carts on a shelf with a masking tape label on it.

That's why I have mine like that.

I have N64 plastic cases I ordered off custom game cases. I don't give a fuck about some autistic /vr/ collector fag that keeps his N64 games in cardboard boxes and opens them up each time he wants a game out.

>>4637554
Personally, I prefer it to the Horipad, but I have huge gorilla hands. If it were possible to get it in the same timeframe as a Horipad, I'd recommend it for the lower price point alone, but since you're fine with a Horipad and you can get one a LOT sooner, go with that.

>>4637110
>baby's first n64 collection

>>4638039
THIS. Literally don't give a fuck, plastic cases here

>>4638046
Do you really want me to pull out every cartridge I own anon?

>>4638034
F-Zero
MarioKart, all of them.
Street Figher Series, and most fighting games
Starfox, Pilotwings, most arial games where you fly planes
Super Metroid
Contra 3
Metal Gear Solid

I can keep going. Why can I keep going? Because there's a fuckton of games that use both at the same time.

>>4638039
I like buying games loose not just because I save money, but also because I don't want to have the responsibility of caring for a cardboard box when I am just going to stick it in a cardboard case anyway.

I still will try and hunt down a big box PC game once in a while but I mostly just see those as collector's pieces. It's not like I am going to open up a big box PC game every time I play the game, because I am just gonna run it off of my harddrive anyway. What's more, a lot of big box PC games were desiged to open and close easily like a board game box, so wearing them out is not as much of a concern even if I want to look at the manuals and feelies and stuff.

>>4638136
Only 4 of those games have incarnations on the N64 and all of them use the Z button instead of the L button. Try again, you silly goose.

>>4638131
>being this insecure

>>4639496
you don't insult someone who makes their own gameboxes and stores the original boxes inside other protective boxes, unless you want to risk being responsible for a suicide

I think the retrofighters controller fucked up my N64.

>>4639539
can you give specifics?

>>4639553
I plugged it in and everything was fine for a while, and then it started totally fucking up and it wasn't responding properly. I turned my N64 off and then it literally would not turn back on. I unplugged everything and changed power outlets and it turned back on. Anytime I plug it in my N64, it causes issues, and when I change out to other controllers, they fuck up. I totally reset the N64 and let it sit and now I'm using a stock OEM controller and haven't had the issue happen again.

It also boot up and told me there were no controllers plugged in, and when I would switch out to another, it still wouldn't recognize it.

Literally never happened before.

>>4639553
>>4639556
I've had this N64 for 2 years and have played like 500 hours

>>4639556
hmmm

Nintendo 64 had a problem with power output, that's why the Rumble Paks needs batteries...

Is this controller draining too much power from the N64 circuit?

>>4638138
I literally think the same way.

I always buy loose and print the game manual. It's okay for me.

>You can't Up and L at the same time
>Not compatible with the N64 Transfer Pak
>Mushy D-Pad

>>4639998
>You can't Up and L at the same time
Yes you can. You will feel a little bump but it does not stop either the L button or the stick from being able to activate.
>Not compatible with the N64 Transfer Pak
Only game that really uses the transfer pak is Pokemon Stadium which works fine with a regular controller anyway.
>Mushy D-Pad
It works fine.

Try actually using the controller instead of just regurgitating memes from other people who have not used it.

>>4640002
I was reiterating Metal Jesus video. I don't even like the guy, but will admit that the stuff he pointed out were valid complaints.
Literally no reason why Up and L are fucked up. Hell, even the worst 3rd party controllers don't do that.
If I have to use a normal N64 controller, they that's the point of this controller? That's the worst shilling possible.
Again, no reason why the D-Pad is bad.

If they end up fixing these complaints, then glad you guys wasted your money beta testing it for them.

>>4640010
Metal Jesus himself said that the L1 button issue does not stop the controller from working correctly. It is a slight annoyance that does not stop either the stick or the button from working. The only game I even noticed the issue on was Doom and that's because of the way I have the buttons mapped. 95% of N64 games do not use the L button for anything important.

>>4640017
You shouldn't make excuses why a company has a design flaw in their product. It doesn't mater how much L is used, it should not have that problem in the first place. Imagine of the PS4 controller had this problem with Up+L1. The D-Pad is hardly used so people shouldn't complain right?

You people beta tested their controller for when the 2nd version comes out. Congrats you wasted your money so they could get out their Kickstarter shit.

Also, aren't all 3rd party controllers not allowed in speedrunning and fighting games? Why are people even look at this?

>>4640010
>If I have to use a normal N64 controller, they that's the point of this controller?
What?

>>4640043
I meant to talk about Pokemon Stadium and using the Transfer Pak.
The guy I was talking to said to just use a normal controller for it. My response is, then what's the point of buying this controller if I still need a normal controller?

>>4640051
You are trying too hard, Mr. original controllers are gaining value quite rapidly.

>>4640056
Not an argument.
This controller has significant flaws that you shills are overlooking.
Like I said before, you guys beta tested their shitty controller that they released for their Kickstarter donaters.

>>4636998
How good is for smash brothers?

>>4640061
>I'm a notorious turbo autistic that even made threads pointing problems that didn't exist
>TAKE ME SERIOUSLY.

>>4640017
The new tetris uses the L to save a piece. Is an important key.

>>4640065
Very. I can pull of smash attacks very easily-- possibly moreso than on a stock controller, though that may depend on how word out (or not) the original controller is.

>>4640056
your original controllers aren't gaining value, they've stayed the same for years https://www.pricecharting.com/game/nintendo-64/gray-controller

>>4638142
>>4638136
also, wrong on that super metroid example because you're holding left or right, not forward(up).
