how the FUCK did this thing get approved?and normal A and B button and then FOUR awkward as hell C buttonsand was the dpad just a hedge in case the joystick became a colossal failure?oh and btw if you use joystick you have no access to the L shoulder button heh nothin personnel kidits only the genius of the first party developers who made unbelievable games on this limited ass hardware and shitshow joystick that this console got anywhere
played fps games just fineand the dpad would be extremely useful if nintendo didn't puss out in ocarina and majoras mask
2026 and /vr/ is still screeching over the n64 controller
>>12442150Uhm, Miyamoto itself designed it. You don't know any better than him during the 90s. Is easy to criticize something that happened 30 years ago.Grow up some brains, dude. You are like 30 or 40 years fucking old. Wise up.
>>12442237>same thread over and over forever>GEE WHY ISN'T ANYONE USING THE SITE ANYMORE!?
>>12442150if you accept the limitation/ignorance to have just a single analog stick it's pretty reasonable. like how would you objectively improve it in terms of its scheme? >put the analgog stick within thumb reach of the dpadok you can no longer utilize the dpad + stick scheme for shooters, that really worth it?
don't like the z button
>>12442248clean your controller, filthy subhuman
>>12442150Its a super nintendo controller with 2 more buttons, an analog stick and a z button. There was no standard and nobody knew what they were doing when the new dimension dropped, they were just making up as they went along. All things considered it worked out just fine
Is it really that much fun to pretend you don't understand how to use it?
>>12442237Because it fucking sucks. Legit worst controller from any of the console manufacturers.
>>12442150C buttons instead of X and Y was an odd choice
>>12442150You didn't mention its greatest crime, no select button.
Retarded low quality timeloop thread. Kill OP brutally, and kill /vr/ since is beyond repair.
>>12442150>its only the genius of the first party developers who made unbelievable gamesThis is false, as the best not only N64 game but best game ever was not 1st party and it excels by using the N64's unique left handed position
>>12442150>how the FUCK did this thing get approved?People were higher IQ back then, you wouldn't(can't) understand.
>>12442246>ok you can no longer utilize the dpad + stick scheme for shooters, that really worth it?You can just use the C buttons instead of the dpad
>>124421503d games on consoles were new and people hadn't figured out how best to control them yet. This is so obvious that I don't see why you had to make a thread about it.
>>12442395>it's obscure nipslop so it's good, look how special I am!
>>12442150I never had any problem with it, in fact to this day its my favorite retro controller. Maybe its because im left handed, so holding the central prong with my dominant hand felt so natural. Thumb on the stick, index finger to use the Z trigger, and the right hand to use A, B, C, and R.
>>12442667>left handed spawn of Satan likes the n64 controllerI rest my case.
>>12442150>how the FUCK did this thing get approved?Gainfully employed intelligent adult professionals as decisions makers instead of angsty internet children as the decision makers. Simple as.
>>12442654Based anti-Japan anon
>>12442643right handed buttons is an objective downgrade compared to a left dpad for the purposes of fps movement. don't think that meets the bar of negating the left paddle's existence.
>>12442667>>12443727I’m right handed and never gave it much thought because WASD + mouse wasn’t the standard yet.
>>12442379>replace C buttons with X left/right and Y up/downdo you like it now?
>>12442150The whole idea was that you'd switch whichever prong you were holding depending on if it's a 2D game or a 3D game. It's really not that confusing. Almost no game on the system, to my knowledge, uses both of them at the same time.
>>12442150>and normal A and B button and then FOUR awkward as hell C buttonsits just a normal 6 button layout
>>12443821a normal 6 button layout has 3 awkward as hell buttons instead of 4
>>12443761There were a few like the Aki wrestling games using the dpad for movement and the thumbstick to taunt, but it only registered that the thumbstick moved and direction/depth didn't matter, so you were just supposed to flick it with your thumb like a real life chin flick. Kinda neat when you think about it. I know others used the two in tandem for some control schemes but wouldn't use the right prong when they did.
>>12442150best controller ever
