Although the wired version has been around for several years, this 2.4 GHz wireless USB version was recently released.

Though its unconventional design has long divided opinion, the original controller is for me the only way to play these games.

Is the 8BitDo DIY Mod Kit worth it, then?

Project64 is a popular Nintendo 64 emulator that allows you to play N64 games on your computer. To set up a controller with Project64, you will need to configure the controller’s buttons and axes in the emulator’s controller plugin settings. The best thing about the controller was that it seemed perfectly designed for the games released on the N64 console. Nintendo have always been good at making hardware and software which feel as if they're working hand in glove (except for the Nintendo Power Glove). I've played Mario 64 with several different controllers since, and it has never felt as good when not on an N64 pad. It therefore makes perfect sense that Nintendo want to recreate the controller so people can play those old classics as originally intended.
