We showcase an ULTRA RARE (pun intended) Ultra 64 controller. Before Nintendo switched to the name Nintendo 64, their 64-bit machine was known as the Ultra 64. We're also showing off the controller as well as an Ultra 64 development environment.

Hope you all enjoy this amazing slice of history! And please check out the contributor KZfaq/Twitter links in the description. Couldn't have done the video without these amazing people helping the channel. Additionally, the SD card I shot this on apparently had an error....I edited around it mostly, but some footage is a touch jumpy - won't happen again!

I really like the look of the all black with grey buttons although nowadays it just kind of looks like one of the knockoff controllers you get in some 200 in 1 NOC consoles.

It’s pretty clear from the shape that it was their original intention. At some point, they decided to change the name of the console. Not sure why. I clearly remember “Ultra 64” commercials in one of the Killer Instinct arcade games so it wasn’t just a code name.
@MikeJackson690
@MikeJackson690 4 жыл бұрын
@@MoneyManHolmes Wikipedia says, "Previously, the plan had been to release the console with the name "Ultra Famicom" in Japan and "Nintendo Ultra 64" in other markets. Rumors circulated attributing the name change to the possibility of legal action by Konami's ownership of the Ultra Games trademark. Nintendo said that trademark issues were not a factor, and the sole reason for any name change was to establish a single worldwide brand and logo for the console." Interesting! What with Famicon/SNES and Mega Drive/Genesis back then names were a bit ropey. Not sure what the Famicon/SNES thing was about but I know Sega had to rename the Mega Drive because of an existing trademark in North America. Anyway, seems Nintendo were on the case here and it makes sense to keep the name consistent. Why we couldn't all have the 'Nintendo Ultra 64' I don't know. I prefer the final name, anyway.

It is nice that we live in a world where we can have both for modern consoles.

It appears as though they may have expected you to rest your thumb on the bottom left portions of the A and B buttons on the prototype controller, so they placed the button indicators in a position that wouldn't be covered up. They could have possibly came to the realization after this prototype was made that it was actually more comfortable to rest your thumb on the top right of those buttons, so you can reach the C buttons easier, so they adjusted the button indicators to try and get them to be visible even if your thumb is on the button. Super cool to see this, thanks for the video!

This, to me at least, shows how a few little tweaks can make something like a controller go from looking slightly unfinished and cheap to a final product that looks genuinely slick all round (the additional colours, the engraved Nintendo logo, the nicer circle indent around d-pad, the cleaner ring around the analog stick, the ring around the c buttons, the longer L and R buttons, the more trigger-looking Z button, etc). I think quite a few third party controller/peripheral manufactures could pay a bit more attention to those final stages in their designs and go from something that looks bad-okay to something that looks great.

So lucky.. I wish I had one myself lol. I always liked the design for the U64 controller more than the N64 one. Great video!

I feel like the only person who never had issues or thumb problems with the original n64 joystick. Infact, its my favorite controller.

I think the reason to leave the space for the nintendo logo on the joystick free is to allow different manufacturers to put their own branding. This is just a guess but maybe they had that idea initially

The N64 hotel game controller also uses RJ11 connectors. I wonder if they use the same signalling?

Everytime I hear Nintendo Ultra 64 it reminds me about the supposed release of Killer Instinct for it. Unfortunately it never happened but if they had released the game for the system, the console might have sold a lot more.

I can't believe Nintendo had a concave joystick design at this early stage, and then never decided to use it on a home console again. I still prefer the joysticks on an Xbox-style controller over Nintendo's design of putting an extruded circle over a rounded joystick. Also, I find it interesting that the Ultra 64 button layout almost resembles a six button Sega controller. I never saw that resemblance before.

Not only that, but the six button layout suddenly makes sense to me now. Your thumb will always go in that diagonal direction. So to lay it out any other way is less ergonomic! Man, Nintendo really thought of everything. D-pad for digital inputs, Analog stick for analog, and perfectly positioned buttons for fast distinct inputs. I actually think this is maybe better than any modern controller design?...! Really the only thing missing are some pads on the back for 2-4 more buttons. Do any places sell USB N64 controllers with good analog sticks and 4 shoulder buttons?

I know this is supposed to be about the controller, but my mind is blown by that proto-Mario 64 menu on the devkit.
