How it Started

Remnant Controllers was formed after a disappointing experience purchasing a Nintendo 64 controller online.

The controller arrived dirty, had a loose joystick, and performed poorly. We provide quality OEM controllers that receive a thorough cleaning and stick repair. A proper gamepad is paramount to a good experience when playing the Nintendo 64.

We now stock consoles and accessories as well! Remnant Controllers aims to provide a quality alternative at a reasonable price.

October 11 1999, Jet Force Gemini debuted on the N64 in the Americas!

Rare initially were committed to using the Expansion Pak, but decided it was more important to give all N64 owners the same experience!
Early boxes were printed as such and in many cases covered with a Rumble Pak sticker!

It has been a long week. Time for some Mario Kart World on the N64 controller because I have a problem.

Ah shoot, well thankfully it grows back. In the meantime you must embrace your baby face era!

Been there. Did you use the wrong guard and end up with a happy little accident?

Came across a few 3rd party N64 accessories that will go out with the next two controller orders 🎮

An ice blue pad will list later today 💙

Man, I miss theme parking. Looks like a great time 🎢

Sometimes I was unable to add all the photos I would have liked to due to the quantity limitations. This should give me plenty of room to work with 🙌

I remember renting this back in '04 or '05 and having a great time with it.
