Is there any place where I can buy NEW Hori Mini Pads?

[Nannose]

All I can find are used ones on Ebay and Amazon, and I'm hesitant to trust their quality.

I think there was a site that used to sell some but it's gone now?

Ebay. Unless ****ing karajan ****ing bought up every one in existence in a direct ****ing attempt to prevent his fellow players from obtaining them at a semi-reasonable price.

But before he started doing that, I used to be able to find a new, in-box one every once in a while if I looked around. I bet you still could. Back in the day the price was usually $120-$140, but I got mine for $100 each by being patient and ebay-sniping

Are they that good that you're will to spend that much on them? I've been debating buying a used one but it's so much money for a controller.

The in-box one is not worth it. They most likely are not brand new anyways.

I used a Hori for 10 months. The original is better IMO.

Thanks,
Do other people feel this way too?

I have used classic, gamecube, xbox360, hori, and keyboard. Hori is my favorite. You just need to try them all till you figure out which you like most

Hori is to a classic controller as .wma is to a vinyl record. You tell me which one is better.

 

[Cobrevolution]

i can carry my wmas with me anywhere i go and listen to them with ease so...

I use a Hori, I just think the stick is more comfortable.

Its not about convenience its about quality. You can buy Cooks or Dom Perignon. One is cheap, convenient, and gets the job done. The other is vintage, exclusive, and makes you a badass.

YOU DRINK MIMOSAS AND COORS YOU HAVE NO ROOM FOR BADASSERY SHEARS

I like the Hori for the stick, but I dislike everything else. I like the OG controller for everything but the stick.

Someone make some magic happen and combine the two.

 

[stylisland]

I don't know man the rubber around the plastic is really quality rubber. I use to have a callus from the original n64 controllers and now my thumb is really smooth. I think that says something about quality.

 

[Shears]

******* are smooth, men are callus.

I've only had experience with a couple of them, but they seemed brand new. IDK I know what you mean they're not sealed that well but it seems like it would be pretty difficult to simulate the way the cord is wrapped with the specific little thingy and attached to the back and the way the tape goes on.

This is the only reason I'm considering buying one. Is a somewhat better stick really worth 70 bucks though?
Guess there's only one way to find out.

Don't let money be a factor. If you think that the Hori pad will make you THAT much better, then the $50 price difference shouldn't really matter.

It would probably save me money since I wouldn't have to buy new controllers with nice sticks haha

 

[mixa]

don't play the game altogether. it'll save more than money

 

[Battlecow]

Yeah my hori's 2 years old and goin strong, honestly prolly a better choice financially than buying good non-greased n64 controllers

 

[kyletree]

+1 for the hori. It's so much easier to DI, which is worth the price alone
