I have a couple of original Nintendos (NES) lying around. Including the one from when I was kids, missing its door because my sibling would toss controllers at it when they lost.

Those controllers are solid.

Also a few dozen cartridges to go with it. Nothing of value as far as I know but future family heirlooms.

I wish I still had the original N64 controllers. The nintendium shells they were made out of were thicker, heftier. Now I've just got these off-brand ones that don't feel as good.

Tell you what, though - the joysticks are just as floppy as the originals we had. I'll eventually get those GameCube joysticks to upgrade them.
