[edit] Densha de Go! 64, Controller

As with most Densha de Go! games this version has a special controller this time for the N64 version which needs to be plugged into controller outlet 3, while the voice mic was inserted into controller outlet 4, and a standard controller in outlet 1^[1]. It consists of a switch on the left that goes up and down, controlling the trains speed, all five of its drive speeds and Neutral. The handle on the right controls the breaking speeds 1-8, Emergency brake, and doors opening. Between these two levers is a depression that a person could place a pocket watch or stop watch (not included but designed to look more realistic) to keep the time as they drive. There are five buttons, A, B and C, a start and select button, the select button acting as the Z button to show distance to the next stop, in some game variations^[2].
