What on God's green earth are those abominations pretending to be N64 controllers.

MadKatz Controllers. We have the originals, but these ones have better quality control sticks that don't get floppy from use.

They certainly look like they won't get floppy...

I have three of the Mad Catz controllers!

xerros t1_jeawy9k wrote

If there ever was a time that they were “good” it certainly was not during that generation. The only madkatz experience I have are with ps1 and n64 controllers and they were enough to convince me to ONLY buy official branded controllers thereafter.

I have a red one that I always used. That turbo function was a godsend on the Canary Mary races in banjo-tooie.

Eh…I prefer to just simply use the originals and replace the control sticks (although it’s very time consuming it’s easy enough to do). But I say to each their own. We should be allowed to enjoy the games that we want the way that we want

The height of MadKatz I always thought. Their controllers at the time were in frequently superior to official controllers.

Mario party 2 is some of the most fun I’ve ever had in my life. Absolutely perfect. I’ve been trying to find a copy for so long.

He has his copy and I believe mine is still in one kf my storage bins. Kept the manual, too!

Drowsy_Titan t1_je7y9cw wrote

Sounds like you have 2 copies of the same game.....maybe you should consider selling one to make some cash!?!? 😁

Mistborn19 t1_je8ytif wrote

These games only go up in value each year. Selling it unless in dire need is silly.

Double dash is kinda goated tbh lol have a great game night don’t let Mario party do Mario party things to your relationship (I’ll never get over my ex who stole my star, like MY STAR?! Really??? Why not Bowsers that smug turtle asshole) lol

Post how long you actually played. Don't lie. We'll know.

We're still playing. We started with Mario Party 2

Man I miss Mario Party. It's such a better interaction with your friends than call of duty or similar

My wife and I play through most of the mario parties each year and track results while playing some mario kart on the side. It's the best and I'm happy others get to experience it!

Hate that mario golf though

I could spend a week just on Double Dash and MK64, plus MP2 goes hard

Auran82 t1_je8s3if wrote

Ah Mario Party 1. I remember the stupid games where you had to rotate the stick in circles, and the best way to do that was put your palm on the stick and rotate, shredding the skin on your palm and probably destroying the stick itself in the process.

Liquidest_Ocelot t1_je8w6gl wrote

I would kill for a Double Dash remaster. Best game by far imo.

KnowNothing3888 t1_je92av3 wrote

Mario Kart 64 is still one of the all time best racing games. (imo of course)

The amount of fun I had as a kid with my friends on that game has never been matched.

Ah man super Mario strikers was great fun, never see it get brought up with other Mario spinoffs but it was genuinely fun, every characters ultimate goal kick was awesome

If you want to stay together I would recommend against playing 1v1 in strikers.

Loved my N64 Mad Katz controller back in the day. Even when the backing fell off, the control stick was like brand new.

GameCube being retro. Dude you're hurting me

If you guys got a switch I'd highly recommend it takes two and unravel. Super fun couch coop and highly reliant on the other person so it feels like you're both doing important stuff.

there's clearly 2 people there that you don't like as much as the other lol.

ghee the molding on those mad catz controller is absolute dogshit, really makes you appreciate the quality nintendo puts in their plastic, those gc controllers still look like new, just a bit polished by hands lol.

I only prefer the MadKatz simply cuz the joysticks stay firm and don't lose their springiness

lol that brand is forever etched in my memory as "the brand of controller you let the friend you don't really like use when visiting"

Bruh those are literally sex toys. No fucking way those offbrand N64 controllers where just accidentally made to look like phalic shapes.

Since when is gamecube retro? TF?

Call-Me-Bingus OP t1_je7totg wrote

How about "Old-School" then? Does that cater a bit better to you?

Edit: Actually, no, I'm right. "Titles with an original release date over 15 years ago qualify as retro"

There are as many consoles between GameCube and switch as there are between GameCube and NES, and switch is the last holdout from the gen before ps5/xbseries

nickman940 t1_je9a8uf wrote

Gamecube came our 22 years ago. That is definitely retro.

Stations like Genesis, N64, SNES, etc. are vintage.

HeliumIsotope t1_je9odpz wrote

Listen, it sucks to get old. Shits weird. But GameCube is fair to consider retro. SNES came out in 1990, and it's been considered retro for quite a while. GameCube came out 10 years later in 2001 which is 22 years ago... Shits old now, it pains me to say.

It doesn't have to be 16 bit to be retro. Just old. Like you(it would seem), and me. Even if you say retro is 30. Years... It's closer to retro than it is to being new. Time is crazy.
