What the fuck were they thinking

the concept is self explanatory

I only remember one game even using the d-pad at all and it was Mischief Makers. Also
>center and left handles

Never got the hate around this controller. Felt fine to me, the only thing was the control stick, which nintendo still hasn't got right after all these years.

Why?

The Tommy Wiseau of controllers

It was experimental controller that marked transitional period, it was a success and then dualshock perfected it.

shut up faggot

>Never got the hate around this controller.
only brainlets hate the n64 controllers. it was super comfy

see
3D was new and there was no definitive scheme for a controller that did 2d/3d yet, Nintendo opted to give you 2 full inputs for both.

battlezone, hexen and starcraft 64 all uses the d-pad, stick and c-buttons

thing is, only 2d game i remember on the 64 is goemon's greatest adventure.

It’s fine but this is coming from someone who never thought twice about it when I was a kid, so maybe im just used to it.

Fuck off Scott

That's part of the reason people talk about the controller like it's some kind of anomaly, there weren't a lot of stand out 2D games on the N64, so people just look at it like some kind of weird tumor, when in actuality it was a kind of hardware compatibility/overhead.

I bet that obnoxious autistic sperglord has indeed played with dog turds.

well, one look at it and you'll generaly see it as an anomaly for three handed people.
it's also lame if your hands are too big to hold it with the middle handle comfortably, but not big enough to hold them with them left handle properly.
in my case, my arthrithis makes them especially uncomfortable to hold, but i don't mind, since it's the case with most controller

how was nintendo supposed to know that, brainlet?

n64 controller was comfy, functional, and revolutionary

explain how it's "shit"

it's not like there's that much third party support for the 64, and they had to know that was coming.
They definitively knew they themselves had no real plans for 2d games.
There's yoshi story, but you can't even control with the d-pad.

>you will never see a rant like this in a modern AVGN
>James will never rekindle his love of filmmaking and make real movies again
Even his godawful Snix films and his Mike-influenced "It came from the toilet" film had more passion and care put into them than Cinemassacre's modern output.

It was trash in every conceivable way, contrarian spaz.

kys animefag zoomer, james has probably played with more tits than you ever had

>it's not like there's that much third party support for the 64, and they had to know that was coming.
They gave the tools third parties might need, they'd thought they would come

>It was trash in every conceivable way, contrarian spaz.
explain how it's "trash" without using buzzwords

Oh, I know. Like black & white tv. Wtf were they thinking, add color, lol. Fuck, I'm smart.

>explain for the billionth time why a controller designed for three hands is bad input design so I can pretend every criticism is a buzzword

Okay? That doesn't make it not a piece of shit. Also
>center and left handles
For what purpose?
