Glad I could help

Eh, these GC style sticks do not have full range of motion. They work for the most part, but I remember the twisty path at the beginning of Conker's Bad Fur Day is impossible to stay on with this stick.

I'll have to pop Conker's in and check that out. Before I bought this stick I did read a review that said the 2023 version of this stick (I assume that's the one that got shipped to me) was much more responsive and agile than previous years so hopefully that's the case with a game like Conker's. But also, thanks for the view and comment.

Very interesting and cool. Not practical though because the replacement stick costs the equivalent of a brand new controller.

@Nintendad64 2 месяца назад

Good point. I think it's a matter if someone has an OEM controller they want to save as opposed to buying a new one. For me, this controller was part of a really cool Japanese exclusive Mario Kart 64 set so I definitely wanted to be able to use this one and the old stick was so floppy. Thanks for the comment and the view!

@@Nintendad64 After I clicked your link, I found a cheaper alternative. Five replacements for under twenty bucks. However, it is most likely quantity over quality.

Nice!

I've tried numerous brands of the GGN style N64 sticks and none of them ever pass the tip-toe test in Super Mario 64, making precise movements impossible for certain titles. Would highly recommend using Kitsch-Bent replacement parts/gears/sticks as an alternative if possible, as the original stick design is much more precise.

I will definitely look into that. I originally didn't intend to purchase a Gamecube style and I definitely agree about the original joystick for games like Super Mario 64. I have a couple videos up on the channel of me playing the Super Mario 3D All-Stars version on Switch and several times I complain about the controls not being as precise as on the original hardware. I definitely plan on doing a comparison video of the Gamecube style vs OEM style in the near future. Thanks for the watch and comment!
