Nintendo 64 Hori Pad Mini 64 Controller N64 Colors Variation Tested

About this deal

The Hori Pad Mini 64 is a third-party Nintendo 64 controller released exclusively in Japan by Hori late in the N64's lifespan, available in several colour variants. It does away with the standard three-pronged design, moving the analogue stick to the left where it sits more naturally, and the joystick is widely regarded as a significant improvement over the original N64 controller's, with durability comparable to that of a GameCube stick. The Hori Pad Mini 64 is widely considered superior to the official N64 controller and is regarded as a tournament standard, particularly favoured by competitive Super Smash Bros. players. Its scarcity, owing to its Japan-only release, has made it highly sought after by collectors and the competitive retro gaming scene, and it typically commands a premium price on the secondhand market. This listing offers a used, tested, and working example in your choice of colour -- a rare opportunity to pick up one of the most acclaimed N64 controllers ever made.
