does anyone know a way to repair it? or are there third party controllers that don't suffer such a premature death?
I had considered attempting to replace the joystick with one from another controller, say a PS(2) joystick for example. Does anyone have any words of wisdom for me? I have 4 controllers and 2 of them saw A LOT of use (a blue and a green one). Neither has major problems with the stick, the center of it is kinda loose and floppy, but it still has spring left.

the Nintendo 64 I got off ebay came with 2 Nintendo brand controllers (both grey). anyways, they work okay but I HATE how loose the joysticks are in both of them. for $20 bucks on ebay you can buy 4 "brand new" joysticks for the N64 controller. I think Im going to try this out once I get some money. since I only need two I'll sell the other 2 for $12.00 bucks total ($10 for the joysticks and $2 for shipping), if anyone wants try this out also.

I was placeing my hand ontop of the joystick and moving it around, my hand was flat on the tip of the joy stick and when I finally beat it, the joystick tore off some of the skin from my hand, the gentle skin above the palm. It hurt like a mother for a while :oops: You're not the only one who had that happen. I also did that on many other mini-games that required spinning the joystick. That game alone destroyed 3 contollers belonging to me and some friends over a weekend.
