As shitty as the n64 controller is, that ique pad is still worse. It looks like they built it into the side of a casual restaurant wait buzzer.

It's the N64 in China, and it's an official Nintendo product. The console itself is the controller, like a plug and play, and the way it worked is you would have these cards, kind of like the Famicom Disk System, and you would go to kiosks and download the game onto these cards and then insert the card into a slot on the back of the controller. I haven't tried the iQue for myself since they're pretty rare but apparently it's pretty decent.

I was only aware of the bolded part.. I really didn't know that the iQue Player was a plug and play system!

I had an N64 back when new and did not learn of the superpad until this year.   I found it bundled with a N64 at a thrift shop for 20.00  Tried it out and liked it better than the standard controller.  Still would like to try the Hori mini but the price is qutie high.

The N64 controller is the worst designed controller of all time. I don't understand how Nintendo went from the great SNES controller, to one where you can never reach all the buttons unless you completely reposition your hand to another grip. Most games that used the analog stick could not have it where you used the D-Pad and L shoulder button. Thankfully, Sony came along and showed us how an analog controller should be.

I think if you took the iQue controller layout, but replaced the D-pad with a better one, it would have been a good controller for the N64. It looks like they took queues from the Saturn (analog)/Dreamcast controller, which were pretty good controllers.

I can't recall a game on the N64 that mad you move your hand away from one postion. Ocarina only uses the L button for the vertical strike, Menu scrolling, and a note for the Ocarina. Which isn't used in the songs. Just for goofing off. Can you list a game that made you switch around? I keep seeing people say they went nuts with the controller. And I never ran into this issue once. Granted I only have 10 N64 games. I'm curious.

Always see this as strange, do you have 4 hands to use the dpad, buttons and twin sticks on an Ps3/60 controller all at the same time? or 101 fingers for when you sit at your PC keyboard...

amazing how obsessed people are with xbox pads. That controller looks like garbage.
OG xbox pad was one of the worst of all time, and this looks exactly like it.

I just wanted to point out that all of the "The N64 controller is the worst controller of all time!" comments are hilarious. You'd swear that the analog stick didn't work and was a fad.

Not with that D-pad
