Same here, and I was a Smash Bros. junkie (Well, I still am, except now it's Melee). I played my N64 <u>a lot</u> when I had it (I blame SSB, Vigilante 8, and Starfox64 for turning me into the insatiable gamer you see before you. Look away, I'm hideous!) and my controllers never broke, they even survived to be passed down to the next generation, my nephew now enjoys N64 goodness on the very same controllers I got packaged with the system.
Third-party stuff...I don't trust. No matter what it is, I refuse to buy anything third-party if there is a first-party product available. My one condition is that I will only buy third-party stuff unless there is no first-party equivalent, and I realy want it. Unfortunately, the former rules out the great many things on the GameStop shelf, and the latter pretty much snuffs the rest out. I've had nothing but bad luck with anything third-party, so I'm willing to shell out the extra clams to get a controller/memory card/whatever that will last.
