Nintendo 64.

Here’s a picture of my latest hybrid masterpiece:

The top is atomic purple and the bottom is black. Both original controllers were is bad shape so I decided to combine them and then add one of the new third-party thumbsticks. The result is quite sexy, no?

 

[ryuu seika]

You can't really tell that the bottom doesn't match the top. It looks perfect to me.

It is perfect, perfectly two-tone.

Here's another picture:

Did anyone here actually use the D-pad on the N64 controller? I think I only used it for Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards' multiplayer modes...

 

[Gatlin]

Never used it either, except for the same Kirby game, lol.

 

[Grizzmeister]

On the N64 it’s all about the analog stick. That’s what set it apart from the original Playstation until Sony eventually copied Nintendo by releasing the DualShock controller.

 

[Segtendo]

Yea, I only played one D-Pad game and that was Kirby 64.
Which, BTW, is amazing ;o
Still haven't gotten all the shards >_>

 

[Kanelol]

Paper Mario: My childhood. 'Nuff said.

 

[ryuu seika]

Mischief Makers forced you to use the D pad and/or C buttons. I used the C buttons most as they weren't all stuck together so didn't occasionally input wrong like D pads do.

 

[F8AL]

I really only used the C buttons to strafe in games like Goldeneye 007 and Perfect Dark 64.

 

[Grizzmeister]

I didn't like the way the left over atomic purple bottom looked with the black top so I swapped things around a little.

I now have a replica Japanese Mario Kart 64 controller and a grey top/atomic purple bottom controller that I find much more aesthetically pleasing.

 

[Segtendo]

I'm liking all these custom N64 controllers.

 

[ryuu seika]

I don't like the look of the purple and gray myself but the black and gray is nice.

The purple and gray one reminds me of the SNES controller. Do you see it now that I've mentioned it?

 

[ryuu seika]

I can't say I've ever owned a SNES but it does have some kind of retro feel to it. That may just be the fact that it's an N64 controller though...

 

[Dior]

All of the mario parites FTW!

 

[Grizzmeister]

One of my favorite multiplayer games on the N64 has always been Turok Rage Wars. My friends and I played that game more than any other except maybe Mario Kart 64. It's really an impressive title, considering what system it's on, because it allows you to do things like drop a bear claw trap and plant small proximity turrets. Graphically it’s also impressive with plenty of vibrant colors and realtime light-sourcing from the gunfire.

Here are all the Turok games I own for the Nintendo 64.

While I do own both the gray and black carts of Turok 2 I don't have the rare (bug free) gray TRW cartridge.

 

[Segtendo]

I played a Turok on my cousin's PS2 once and I thought that killing dinos was fun

 

[F8AL]

I have Turok 2 on my N64 as well. I love the cerebral bore weapon (homes into their heads and makes them blow up) and playing as the monkey. xD

Man all these custom controllers makes me want to make one myself if I only knew how lol

It's really not hard since Nintendo didn't use special screws on the N64 controller. All you need is a Phillips head screwdriver to take the controller apart.

Replacing the analog stick is a little harder but not by much. If you have any mechanical skill at all you'll be fine refurbishing a N64 controller.

 

[ryuu seika]

I still think a gamecube control stick would be the best choice if it would work. I wouldn't dismantle a good condition official GC controller for it because they aren't easy to get these days but I'm really not that into the hardness of the unofficial control sticks.

 

[Grizzmeister]

Yesterday I received my CIB Japanese copy of Mario Kart 64. I got it off of Ebay for just $18 including shipping.

I wanted to add this to my Japanese N64 library which includes copies of Super Smash Bros. (Dairantou Smash Brothers 64) and Wave Race 64 Shindou Edition.

I wasn't thinking much about an N64 controller than I was thinking about doing it with another controller >_>

Preferably 360 or PS3

 

[ryuu seika]

I've been thinking of modding my spare PS2 controller for gamecube use but I doubt I'll ever actually do it.

I love this image. Man that game was probably the most played game on my N64 fallowed by Super Smash Bros. 64 and Duke Nukem: Zero Hour.

Mario Kart 64 is my all-time-favorite video game franchise and that's why I collect stuff like the Japanese cartridge. Of course I like Super Smash Bros. so I have the Japanese version of that too.

 

[ryuu seika]

Mario was so much better without a kart IMO and I preferred Yoshi in the one game were he didn't serve as one.

Mario is at his best when he lets his fist fly like in Super Smash Bros. and that’s why I suspect that just such a game will be a near launch title for Project Café.

anybody play harvest moon 64?

my guilty pleasure.. loL

 

[OmegaXXII]

OMG! SSB64

It's been a decade since I last played this game on Nintendo 64, sad part about it is that I only got to play it for a month or so from my friend and that was it. :/

Now that I have access to Virtual Console, i'm really considering getting this game.

It's been so long, I originally started maining Kirby, but found faults and used Samus, the cool thing about it are the classic stages, especially Saffron City

I remember playing that during my childhood. Loved the single player and multiplayer. I remember having a blast playing that one MP mode where you play on this platform which parts of it falls down if you press a certain button and eventually, it'd boil down to a 1v1 on a small platform.

Good times.

If I ever see it in stores, I'll buy it.

 

[Segtendo]

I love making combo powers in that game.

 

[ryuu seika]

Phoenix Dash is the best. Face Boomerang is just creepy.

 

[OmegaXXII]

I just got Paper Mario 64, i really needed to play this one I've already played Paper Mario:TTYD

 

[Segtendo]

Phoenix Dash is the best.

Yes.

Face Boomerang is just creepy.

Double yes.

I love the fire sword.

 

[ryuu seika]

I never got that far. I now wish I had.
Anyway, I've just convinced so guy to buy an N64 again and I'm wondering if I should. It did have the best range of games, that's for sure. And a lot of the actual best games too.

 

[kingofkings97]

Hi i was wondering is there anyway to remove crayon stains from my n64.

I remember renting that game back in the day and beating it that night :/
