N64 controllers had reliability issues due to games like Mario Party wearing out the sticks. Some of the DSes had hinges that would break from normal use.

- derefr 6y agoI think the N64 Mario Party titles would have worn out literally any analog stick used to play them. The fault was more in the game-mechanic design, not realizing exactly what they were asking of the hardware, and not thinking through that the minigames involving rotating the stick would be replayed ad nauseam, thousands of times, for years.
- majormajor 6y agoMy N64 sticks wore out through Goldeneye, Zelda, and Mario Kart, no Mario Party needed. It was just a first-gen stick design that didn't hold up.
