Featured Nintendo 64 Switch Controller

Good news for Nintendo Switch Online members and fans of classic gaming experiences: the Nintendo 64 controller for the Switch is now back in stock at the Nintendo store. This full-size Nintendo 64 style controller is the ideal way to explore the 3D worlds that first appeared on the Nintendo 64 system. With built-in rumble functionality for compatible games and a rechargeable battery, players can enjoy an enhanced gaming experience with the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership.

The controller, retailing for $49.99, enables users to play enhanced Nintendo 64 games the way they were originally designed to be played, with the classic gray controller featuring the distinctive central analog stick. This offer is exclusive to the Nintendo store and is only available for purchase by current Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. To check stock availability and potentially complete a purchase, users need to be logged in with their Nintendo account.

By logging into your Nintendo account, you can simply add the controller to your cart and hope for the best. However, stocks tend to run out quickly, so don’t be surprised if they become unavailable in a short time.

The re-released N64 controller maintains its original design, with some modern enhancements. It features wireless connectivity, USB-C rechargeability, and built-in rumble support for compatible games such as Star Fox 64 – all without needing a Rumble Pak. While the form factor of the N64 controller remains a topic of debate among gamers, its popularity is a testament to the power of nostalgia.

With the Nintendo 64 controller for Switch back in stock, Switch Online members can now immerse themselves in the classic gaming experience, exploring the iconic 3D worlds and enjoying the unique features of this beloved controller.
