Old Skool's controllers & gamepads lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this controller work with the N64 Rumble Pak?

Yes. The expansion slot on the back accepts the N64 Rumble Pak, so rumble-enabled games like Star Fox 64 and Mario Party provide force feedback. The Rumble Pak itself is not included.

Can I save games with this controller?

Yes. It is compatible with the N64 Memory Card (Controller Pak), so games that store saves on the card work normally. You supply your own Memory Card.

How long is the cable?

The cable is 6 feet long, which typically covers a console-to-couch setup without an extension cord.

Is it the same shape as the original N64 controller?

Yes. Old Skool molded it in the same three-pronged shape as the original first-party Nintendo 64 controller, so grip position and button layout match what you remember.
