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.

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 🙌

Black is back!

Tough one not to keep for myself.

I have heard great things about this and really need to give it go.

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

The Legacy of Darkness Gothic vibes are just 🤌

Honorable mention to the Bottom of the Well and Shadow Temple from Ocarina of Time. Kid me was not prepared for dead hand.

The community spotlight blurb on @remember64show.bsky.social from this month's newsletter 📰

linktr.ee/Remember64

The title reads "From the Community: Remember 64".

The body reads "I love a good podcast, especially when it centers around the Nintendo 64. I have been binging Remember 64 over the past few weeks. The content David Pietrangelo and his guest hosts produce will have you laughing, reminiscing, and rediscovering what made the Nintendo 64 era special (and sometimes, awkward). Give Remember 64 a listen, you may even find inspiration to try out a new-to-you N64 title!

You can access episodes and connect with David via social media through his various channels found on Linktree."

Two more N64 gamepads cleaned up 🧼 Been a while since I have had a black controller! Only the 5th one to pass through the shop. Thought I would see a lot more considering they match the charcoal console so well 🖤

I like how both the CIB and loose Quest 64 is on here 😅

Ugh, that is so frustrating. Especially given you already went through it with them!

Played so much of this. i remember building up a tiny home community and getting frustrated when the Sims would use all the houses interchangeably 😅

Oh man, he really died on that hill.

Paul 🎃 Remnant Controllers @remnantcontrollers.bsky.social · 2d

Not crazy, but definitely mislead. Poor guy 😅

He knows not that it was not.

Good morning, and happy Monday 🌅

Another gray controller just listed, and this one is gorgeous. Haven't had a non-cosmetically flawed gray pad in a few months!
