Retro Fighters Brawler64 Wireless Edition N64 Controller - Nintendo 64 - Limited Edition Extreme Green

Manufacturer description

The Retro Fighters Brawler64 Wireless Edition gives your Nintendo 64 a cable-free controller without changing the shape that made the original Brawler64 popular with retro players.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Brawler64 Wireless work on an original Nintendo 64 console?

Yes. It is built for the Nintendo 64 and connects over 2.4 GHz wireless through an included dongle that plugs into the console's controller port.

Can I use a Memory Pak with this wireless N64 controller?

Yes. It works with first-party and most third-party Memory Paks. Because the controller is wireless, the Memory Pak goes into the included dongle instead of the controller.

How is the Z trigger different from a standard N64 controller?

Retro Fighters changed the Z trigger to a more digital press instead of an analog pull, based on feedback from retro players. It gives a quicker, clicky response for firing in shooters.

Does the controller have a turbo button?

Yes. The Brawler64 Wireless Edition has a built-in turbo function for rapid-fire inputs in games that would otherwise need repeated button presses.

Does the Brawler64 Wireless support Rumble Paks, and how long does the battery last?

The product details don't give Rumble Pak compatibility or battery specs. Check the Retro Fighters product listing for current accessory support, battery and charging details, and warranty terms.
