Bridge • for Nintendo 64

Keep the cord, add the wireless.

The first plug-and-play wireless adapter for any wired Nintendo 64 controller
The first plug-and-play wireless adapter for any wired Nintendo 64 controller

How it works

1. Controller Module

Plug any wired N64 controller into the top port of the module. Optionally, insert the module into the controller's accessory port for safe keeping.

2. Console Module

Plug into the Nintendo 64's controller port. The module receives the controller's status and relays it to the console.

3. Link and Play

Using the buttons on each module, set the LEDs to the same color (the color setting persists between power cycles). Then, use your controller as normal.

Multiplayer compatible - use up to 4 Bridge pairs per console.

Your controller, now untethered

Bridge is the first plug-and-play adapter that turns any wired controller into a wireless one - without modification.

Other wireless solutions fall into two categories:

  • Buy a whole new wireless controller and a receiver dongle
  • Disassemble and replace the original control board with a new one (and permanently disconnect the cord)

Unplug from Bridge and plug into the Nintendo 64 whenever you want. No mods, no hacks.

Wired performance without the wire

Enjoy your favorite games from anywhere in the room - without compromising your control. With less than 3ms of added latency over a wired connection, you won't even notice you're not plugged in.

Bridge's speed is accomplished by:

  • a custom 2.4GHz protocol with no minimum connection interval
  • minimal packet overhead - only what the console needs
  • oversampling the controller, so you don't miss a beat

Stow and Go

Bridge is designed to stow away in the accessory port for safe keeping.

Keep your cord from becoming a tripping hazard - every pair ships with a velcro tie to keep it wrapped and out of the way. An optional dedicated cord wrap accessory will be available at pre-order.

Note: because Bridge occupies the accessory port, Rumble Pak and Controller Pak aren't currently supported.
