Many of you may have remembered the Wishtech Adaptoids, N64 controller to PC adapters, made years ago. They have been known for their rumble support and being the most compatible N64 controller to PC adapter. Ever since production ceased, they have re-sold up to $100+ on eBay. Amazingly these products have made a return and are being sold for $36.00 USD! Don't miss your chance on an excellent N64 to PC experience by visiting the ZTNet Store and reserving this product!

Once again, due to popular demand, we are working on a production run of Adaptoids. This will be a limited run. We are aiming for a February ship date, providing all goes smoothly.

We are not a big store, and financing a run of Adaptoids is not an inexpensive task. We are asking for YOUR help, by simply pre-ordering a unit. This will GUARANTEE you a unit once we begin shipping. If for any reason this production run can not take place, you will be refunded IN FULL.

Your pre-order will be $36. We will keep this page updated with progress, step by step, as we get the units made. Initially, we must get 200 pre-orders before we can start production. Although, we do expect to get these in a short period of time, so we may incrementally start before then.

At this time, we are not accepting resellers, but depending on the success of this run, we may accept resellers once again.

While we do plan to make as many as possible, we do want everyone who is hoping to get one, have a chance at ordering. We ask that you order a maximum of 4 units, if you are seeking multiple units. If you wish to order more, please wait until the production run is complete, and we add regular stock (after preorders are fulfilled).

The current estimated time until we will be ready to ship our pre-orders, will be sometime in the middle of May, or about 3 months. It MAY be sooner, in fact, the last time we did this it WAS sooner, but we want to be cautious with our initial estimates.

sure, I would like to pay a ridiculous amount of money for an adaptor that will allow me to use the "WORST GAMEPAD EVER" on my pc... NOT!!!

Cool thing about pc is the fact that you can emulate N64 and play the games with much better gamepads.

yeah it's a lot better to play with the real controller, especially the N64 controller cus it has pretty many buttons, and i think the N64 controller was pretty good (atleast for playing super mario 64 :D)

Personally I like my Saitek P2500 Rumble, its got plenty of buttons and it works better for N64 than an N64 controller did...

I've got the same controller. It does indeed work really well with Nintendo 64 games, much better than I thought it would.

Though, I used to own an adaptoid, and I loved it. I really do like the Nintendo 64 controller, but it's probably because it was my first experience with analog controls.

I liked the N64 controller because it was very comfortable for my large hands, though many other people could say that it was the worst controller ever designed.
