Bluetooth controller 8BitDo 64
Bluetooth controller 8BitDo 64 also compatible with Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, Windows and Android. It has D-input and S-input modes. The controller has all the inputs of the N64 – joystick, C buttons, real D-pad, A/B buttons, R/L shoulder buttons and two Z triggers. An additional Z trigger makes the controller better compatible with modern games.
It also features a Hall effect joystick and original shutter, which is a noticeable improvement over the N64 controller's infamous joystick, which was prone to stick drift and becoming “loose” over time. Like other 8BitDo controllers, you will have a high level of customization that you can access through 8BiDo's Ultimate Software, allowing you to work on fine details.
If you prefer to play with original controllers, you can choose used N64 controllers at GameStop. There are a bunch Third party N64 controllers available for low price on Amazonbut with such clones, uninterrupted operation is not guaranteed. One of the options we recommend in this category is Hyperkin Captain, $20 wired controller. it is available in several translucent color schemes.
Considering how many Nintendo 64 games focus on multiplayer play, you'll probably want to have a few extra controllers on hand to take advantage of the Analogue 3D's four controller ports. The console supports a total of four players with wireless and wired controllers (or a combination of both), so you can choose multiple 8BitDo controllers and ditch the original controller altogether.
