Nintendo made computer peripherals in 1997? YEP. Enjoy this history, setup, and demonstration of one of the more odd and obscure Nintendo products I have in my possession.

Seems I pronounced "Gillingham" incorrectly.
It's actually pronounced "Throatwobbler Mangrove."
I like this thing. Gotta find one.
Be carful LGR you might end up the Mr.Rodgers of tech lol take it from a man named Roger. Your dangerously close!
oddly enough I grew up with that joystick. it's interesting, I was not expecting to see this but I'm glad I did.
This pulled a memory I forgot I had
This isn't the quality old man content I subscribed for, Clint. Go back to playing obscure, old Dos games and yelling about how kids won't stay out of your garden.

Clint, just wanted to say thank you once again for all of your hard work over the years. Your videos really are a nice escape from this shutdown. Hope you're doing well!
infrared headphones >.>
Holy crap I had one of these things back in the day and TOTALLY forgot about it until this video haha wow that brings back memories.
Kinda looks like some flighsticks from today. Could be nice for some flight simulations or Wing Commander like games.
I actually live pretty close to Farmingdale, here out in LI! Very cool!
Nintendo retroactively leading to the creation of the best controller for the reverse engineered PC port of Super Mario 64.
I think I still have those Nintendo headsets in my moms attic. Those things were honestly amazing. I used them for N64, PS1, and Dreamcast.
I've never heard of The Laral Group, but have heard of The Yanny Group.
For use with Personal Computer computers only
PC computers, as opposed to Mac computers, maybe?
As a guy thats first joystick for flight sims was a two axis two button deal, this thing would have been a game changer for me back in 97'. lmfao
I'm surprised they didnt release this also for the Nintendo 64 itself, not that it would work well, but I mean it's got N64 branding and coloring all over it.
Greetings! 👋
What kind of psychopath leaves a Blood 2 box laying around where it can trigger someone.
So was this Nintendo's response to the 3DO?
I came across this at big lots (discount/clearance store ) when I was a kid, I was so excited by the idea i could play starfox 64 with a joystick. When i came back a week or so later when i had the money i was beyond disappointed when i realized it was pc only. A n64 branded and styled joystick for pc just made no sense to me. Still disappointed to this day.
Didn't even pick up the chainsaw on Doom 2 E1M1 🤭
My guess this controller would be used for mario teaches typing 1 and 2 and Mario is missing and mario game gallery and Mario time machine
This Joystick is a Best for Play N64 On PC.
"Gillingham, South East England"
hey, that's me! we're shit!
all i hear is yanny

I had this thing! I didn’t think it was oddware or obscure until now. Haha
PC computers brought to you by the department of redundancy department
but does it play crysis?
You throwing in a Steve mre "NICE" quote there!?
Perfect for playing the new SM64 PC ports!
I found one of these at a goodwill a few years ago and never knew why it was made or what it was for
Better than the 3DO
