IGN's "This Old Tech" series covers fixing an N64 thumbstick
What's old is new again
The Nintendo 64 is a beloved console by many, but chances are, if you still have one, the controller’s thumbstick is worn out. If you happen to be in that situation, IGN is here to help you out!
On this episode of This Old Tech, IGN’s Seth demonstrates how easy it is to clean and repair your dusty old N64 controllers and get them back into pristine shape with household tools at a low cost. Just go easy on those palms next time you play Mario Party ok?
While it might be easier to pick up a new N64 controller, tracking down an official first-party option might be tough, not to mention pricey. Along with that, third party options available nowadays aren’t always the best of quality. As long as you’re willing to put in some work and use a bit of elbow grease, you can come away with a better end result and more money left in your wallet!
