I'm sure some of you guys here on the forums have seen this already, but I thought I'd post it anyway, since I've been interested in the Brawler64 controller since its announcement. His opinion of it was mostly positive. Still not sure if I'm actually going to go buy one for myself, though.
Thoughts?

I never had any issues with the original N64 controller. I have big hands so having a big controller was nice for a change. I remember being very accurate with the N64 controller. I was proficient in many games of the console, so I never had to complaint about the controller.

It was like something out of a nightmare it was so bad. |

I remember pretty much all my buddies broke that thing, except me, and considering the amount of hours I was putting into the system, I never understood why that happened to them. It seems a lot of people are really rough on their controllers for some reason. |

It seems a lot of people are really rough on their controllers for some reason. In my experience the joystick just wears out really easily. It doesn't necessarily "break", but it does get super wobbly and won't self center later on, which is really frustrating. Personally I would have preferred it if the Brawler64 pad's joystick had been modeled after the GC's instead of its more contemporary design which is more inspired by the Xbox 360 or so Metal Jesus says in his review. The GC controller had the best joystick ever for most 3D genres. |
