Background

This category organizes repair information for Nintendo-branded controllers and remotes from the Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Nintendo 64, GameCube, Wii, Wii U, and classic controller reissues.

Nintendo has changed its controllers alongside each console generation. The Nintendo Entertainment System controller established a directional pad, Start and Select buttons, and two face buttons. The Nintendo 64 controller added an analog stick and supported force feedback through the Rumble Pak. The Wii Remote later made motion input a primary control method.

Repair documentation for official Switch controllers, including Joy-Con and the Pro Controller, is organized under the Nintendo Switch Family. Third-party controllers for Nintendo systems released before the Switch family, along with models that support multiple Nintendo console generations, are organized under the Third-Party Nintendo Controller category. Controllers designed primarily for Nintendo Switch systems are organized under Third-Party Nintendo Switch Controller.

Identification

Nintendo game console controllers will feature "Nintendo" or the name of the console on the device. Third-party controllers will list their brand names on the device.
