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 port accepts an N64 Rumble Pak, so games with force feedback will vibrate as intended. The Rumble Pak itself is not included.

Can I save my games with this controller?

Yes. It is compatible with the N64 Memory Card, so titles that write saves to a controller pak work normally. You supply your own memory card.

How long is the cable?

The cable is 6 feet, which is typically enough to reach a couch from a TV stand without an extension cord.

Is it shaped like the original Nintendo 64 controller?

Yes. Old Skool built it to the same shape as the Nintendo 64 original controller, including the three-prong trident grip layout.
