Hurry up: epic Nintendo 64 controller for Switch is back

If you want to play back as it was, then you must have this Nintendo 64 controller for your Switch.

Retro stuff works both ways. On the one hand, innovation is often also improvement and in the case of modern game consoles, the new stuff is a lot better in terms of ergonomics. In terms of nostalgia, having a controller from a Nintendo 64 is epic, of course. That is why you would want a Nintendo 64 controller for your Nintendo Switch. You’re in luck: it’s back in the store.

Nintendo 64 controller for Switch

Nintendo re-released the old controller for the Switch, but it was sold out for a long time. Not anymore and so you can play games in the old way again with this new old controller. It works exactly the same as the original controller, but wirelessly compatible with the Switch (and Switch OLED of course).

Switch Online

Cool in itself, but there are two drawbacks of the Nintendo 64 controller. First, you can only play N64 games with it. These have been ported to the Switch and are only available with the Switch Online Expansion Pack. However, that also gives you access to many more retro related Nintendo goodies. The other drawback is that you need a Switch Online subscription. Anyway, the fervent Switcher has both of those things of course and then you have a cool new old controller for $ 49.99.

You can buy it on the Nintendo webshop and hopefully you will have the Nintendo 64 controller for your Switch in no time. Keep in mind that this popular accessory is going fast, so order quickly before it’s out of stock again.
