I really liked the N64 controller --- I still think it's one of the most comfortable ever. The asymmetrical shape when using it analogue mode felt really nice in the hands. I've never felt happy with the dual-stick PS ones.
I'm pretty sure I saw someone being vapourised by one in an episode of Lexx, too.
- nsxwolf 11y agoI've always felt like I need 3 hands to use it. It is like 2 controllers welded together. In more complex games I have to constantly change my grip from the outside left to the middle position and I've just never gotten used to it.
- david-given 11y ago...there are games which use the analogue stick and the D-pad? They shouldn't do that --- you're supposed to hold it either by the two outside wings, with d-pad and buttons; or by the middle and the right-hand wing, with analogue stick and buttons. Using the analogue stick and the d-pad makes no sense, for exactly the reasons you say.
- agumonkey 11y agoI kinda recall FPS using the paddle that way. d-pad for position, analog for aiming.
- david-given 11y agoOkay, let me rephrase: the N64 controller has designed for people with at most two hands. Use the d-pad with the left hand and the analogue stick and trigger with the right hand is fine. Requiring the use of the buttons as well is not.
- agumonkey 11y agoOh right, constant switching must be pretty bad.
- agumonkey 11y agoI couldn't use the right hand buttons to save my life. Big low, tiny high, counter intuitive to my fingers.
