This Siamese Twin Nintendo 64 Controller Looks Like A Weird Science Experiment


Ever since I discovered you could use two Nintendo 64 controllers to play Goldeneye, I wondered what it would look like if two were fused together, like some insane, failed science experiment. Thanks to a modder named Clarky, this dream has become an absolute reality, and it’s far from the ungodly abomination I expected — it actually looks bananas.

You have to head to the forum post, where Clarky goes into great detail on each stage of development.

The controller was initially built after a friend of Clarky’s asked for a dual controller that would enable him to replicate the arcade feel of Star Wars Episode I: Racer on the N64. Most of you will probably remember this game — a really well made racer that I still see in some arcades.

But personally, when I saw this, my mind drifted to the clumsy attempts I made to try and play Goldeneye with two controllers. At the time it was simply too difficult to hold both with any real semblance of control. Finally, 15 years later, a solution!

Check out the pics below to see some of the individual stages the controller went through. And you can find more pics and information on the project here. Massive kudos to Clarky for this incredible… thing.

Thanks Hyper!
