Buyer beware
The design of this controller has changed from the original. I recently purchased this controller (June 2009), and did a search for it's UPC (738012487129) and this record came up for it.

This is the worst controller I have ever bought, and here's why:

The first thing I noticed was how noisy the buttons are. The last thing you want, while playing games which require focus, is noisy buttons - especially while enjoying the music.

The next thing, was the how the A and B buttons are offset from the original N64 controller design. The picture above is not the same as what you'll get now. The A button is centered to the left and bottom C buttons. So, if you're used to the original button layout, you won't like this one.

The last and most important thing was how unresponsive the joystick is. This joystick has to be the least precise and responsive joystick I have ever played on. You have to push it down all the way (in whichever direction) to make it respond. So, playing any sort of game which requires precise movement (especially ones that are timed) will make things very frustrating.

An example of my frustration: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
In the Fire Temple, there is a room where you obtain the Megaton Hammer. In order to get it, you have to hit a switch which lowers the fire that surrounds the chest which contains it, and then you have to run around a very narrow edge of a big hole ... all the way around ... to get it. The switch is timed, so you have to run without hesitation in order to get to the chest before the fire goes back up. If you fall off the edge where you have to run, you'll fall down to a lower level, and will have to make your way back up to the room.
I tried running around the narrow edge for a half hour with this controller and was unsuccessful in every attempt. It was very frustrating falling to the lower level over and over. Finally, I decided to use my Nintendo Wavebird controller, and I made it all the way around in ONE ATTEMPT, without even a warm-up on the controller.

In short, don't buy this controller because it's noisy and unresponsive. It's funny how, on the box, it says "Precise 3d-Analog Stick" ... It couldn't be farther from the truth.
