Be sure to check what's under the panel underneath the N64. Sometimes, you can find some extra cash.

LOL I used to hide cash there

I'm curious about the quality of the Sega Saturn looking N64 controller. Nice haul btw

They’re interesting. The arrows are close to the thumbstick so they’re easy to access but not incredibly ergonomic. The c buttons are a bit weirdly spaced. I’ll see as I play more with them.

On of the controllers had a missing thing stick and I 3D printed a new one.

Superpad 64. I have one, because I had to try it out. I don't recommend.

by far my favorite controller for n64 of its time. Though my dad didn’t like the thumbstick and replaced it with a golf tee 🤷‍♂️

Be real. This is more for you than your kiddo 🤣

Really 50/50. I love the collection and making them work, he loves playing the games. My wife is looking forward to DDR

Oh man I destroyed 3 of those dance mats. we rewired them to use for stepmania (pc hatswitch had simultaneous opposite direction problems back in the day) and taped them to the ground and gave them a real beat down. The layers actually wore down from trying the pledge furniture polish and socks footslide technique which I quicly hated as damaging. I have now ancient solid decks that could handle it but I still hold a grudge against sliding.

I’m jealous. Sorta
