Notes & Warnings
Read the compatibility before you buy on looks alone. This is an N64-themed pad with an Xbox button layout aimed at PC and mobile, and it is not directly compatible with the Switch or Switch 2, so it will not drive Nintendo's own N64 app. A tribute you cannot use on a Nintendo console is a strange tribute.
