Looking to buy a Hori N64 Mini Pad or 2. Or 3.
Thaddeus Grey:
I like having the option, but mainly it's for collecting purposes. And because the blue/green color looks really good. I had found one that I could nab for $42, but it was a kinda ugly color. I know, I'm picky. Turbo was a great help in the 8-bit days with mindless button mashers (Urban Champion, anyone?) but has since lost usefulness.
Holy crap I love eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160420466759#ht_500wt_948
just nabbed another controller for the GC (backup I suppose or I might sell for more money), and with my eBay bucks it totalled to £13.52 and that includes shipping! Noice!

I'm sure Mario Party would be a good use. I don't really like turbo controller though, it takes the fun out of a lot of games.

I agree. I think the only game I use turbo for is the ship stage on Battletoads/Double Dragon for the SNES. Helps alot! That pad would come in handy for Mario Party's button mashing games. Altho I must say I usually kill anyone who tries to out button mash me lol.

Turbofire is only really useful in arcade style shooters or run and gun platformers. Since the N64 lacked both genres I still stick by what I said. Mario party might use it too, but in a party game like that, how is turbo fire any fun?
