Nintendo Switch: N64 & Genesis Controllers #1
An odd throwback, but interesting nonetheless. I'd definitely consider a N64 controller for certain games.

Quote:Next month, Nintendo will give Switch Online subscribers the chance to purchase Sega Genesis games as part of a DLC pack with N64 titles. And to make the experience as authentic as possible while playing them, the gaming giant is also selling wireless N64 and Genesis controllers exclusively to Switch Online subscribers. The gaming giant showed off a three-button Genesis controller at its most recent Direct stream in the west. Based on a tweet by Nintendo Japan, though, it will release a six-button version in its home country instead.

What games would you try it for?

I'm not well-versed with consoles, so I couldn't even guess xD

From the article:

Quote:Super Mario 64
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Mario Kart 64
Star Fox 64
Sin and Punishment
Dr. Mario 64
Mario Tennis 64

I'm not a gamer, but did play most of the above during the late 90s early 2000. Very enjoyable Indeed.

As someone who owns a N64 and controllers... people seem to forget how terrible they are, especially compared to more modern designs. There's a reason the Brawler 64 and similar 3rd party controllers are always sold out.

Nintendo is getting pretty greedy as it is, but deciding to lock the N64 and Genesis ROMs behind a more expensive tier of the subscription is just absurd.

I guess that itself will bring back those good 'ole days memories but as you said, It's a modern era so I think the parts used to make them before, have been improved and replaced with better material and circuitry.
