==In competitive play== | |||
In the earliest days of the franchise and its competitive scene, the official Nintendo 64 controller was the tournament standard. This was due to no preferable alternatives being available at the time and the console requiring a controller that fits the proprietary Nintendo 64 controller port. Due to being incompatible with Nintendo's next console, the [[GameCube]], the N64 controller only continued to see frequent use at ''Smash 64'' tournaments. After the rise of preferable alternatives like the [[Hori Mini Pad]] and emulators removing the restrictions imposed by official hardware, official controllers have generally fallen out of favor at top level play. While not necessarily an uncommon sight at tournaments, most of the best ''Smash 64'' players in the world have officially retired the controller in favor of something else. | |||
The wireless N64 controller compatible with Nintendo Switch similarly are a rarity in ''Ultimate'' tournaments due to the plethora of preferable alternatives and the limited stock exclusive to customers with an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription. | |||
