Used as part of the Nintendo Gateway System, this controller was only used in hotels and similar services.<ref>[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Gateway_System Nintendo Gateway System Wikipedia Page]</ref><ref>[https://www.mariowiki.com/LodgeNet LodgeNet on MarioWiki]</ref> | |||
Largely the same as the default Nintendo 64 controller, all releases of the LodgeNet controller feature buttons for ordering room service at the lodging, among other things. However, later releases of the LodgeNet controller feature a GameCube-like joystick, making games much easier to control, and thus leading to a highly sought-after, official means of using a standard Nintendo 64 controller with a more flexible joystick.<ref>[https://youtu.be/vSiLh8gaTXg?si=ABzOjVtVbBbwCbG1 LodgeNet Controller Comparison]</ref> | |||
However, LodgeNet controllers, by default, use a connection different to the Nintendo 64 port.<ref>[https://youtu.be/watch?v=125ltCbo7Ag LodgeNet Controller information, shows port]</ref> Converters, including an official LodgeNet converter, are necessary for use on a standard-issue Nintendo 64, without external modification that could affect resale value. Regardless, the familiar layout and official nature of this controller gives it some prestige among more traditional players, as well as collectors. | |||
