B-B-BUT THREE HANDLES!?!

Zoomer here. How did you guys play something like perfect dark or goldeneye with this? It just doesnt seem possible to me. Never held one but this looks even worse than a standard sony controller. How is it that video games were a big thing in the 90s yet no one made a good controller until xbox?

regardless it still feels clunky and unintuitive. Also the analog stick is prone to wearing out quickly.

fat-ass zoomer hands too big for play station station controllers.

>here's your controller

It was a safe bet to include both a d-pad and analog stick. Nobody really knew what to expect with the transition to 3d.

From what I understand, Nintendo made the controller that way because they weren't convinced that analogue sticks were going to be as used as much they were. Of course Nintendo was losing 3rd party support like no-ones business at the time so the potential developers that may have made more games with the d-pad in mind didn't exist, and were instead making games for the PS1.

Both those games have a very generous aim-assist scheme. You didn't need to be super accurate for your weapon to snap onto an enemy's head.

Fucking beat me to it.

Because most people who played games back then weren't retarded zoomers with zero imagination. Some of us free up with Atari 2600 and arcades. Meaning a joystick and some buttons. Some of us gree up with Master System or NES, two buttons and a dpad. The n64 controller is literally a 6 face button controller like Sega, with the shoulder buttons like SNES. The n64 controller has such good ergonomics that placing your hand on the center prong felt natural when using the stick and Z button ok the bottom like a trigger. Also the controllers back then are actually lighter and wired because rumble wasn't standard so no heavy motors or electronics and bluetooth wasn't a thing to give your controller latency issues. If you wanted a wireless controller you'd use one with infrared like a TV remote.

Again, all these controllers back then we're great but it's mostly a problem with faggity new gaymers that just refuse to learn control schemes because they just want instant dopamine rushes. Like shooters back then and almost all games had their own control schemes and layouts that you'd learn from playing or reading the included paper manual. 99% of modern games all use the same layout like left trigger is aim, right trigger is shoot, right trigger is acceleration, left trigger is for braking.

shoulder buttons are a little clunky but otherwise yeah, it does what it's intended to

Ah yes, the fake Dreamcast controller.

>Shit we are not going to spend money on making VMUs. What do we do with this big hole?
>Fill it with a plastic bubble and an Xbox sticker

Is it weird?
Yes.
Is it fundamentally bad?
No.

The analog stick was pretty bad.

it was good, zoomies.

The three handles is a meme reason to hate it but it's still not great. There's no legitimate reason to make simultaneous access to all buttons impossible and the stick is bad

>impossible to access all buttons at once
its shit tier controller.
They didn't know better but at same time ps1 did.
It's shit tier. But its nintendo so you get to play more childrens games on it as an adult so its only good controller ever made except for other nintendo shit.
have sex.

I can't remember how were you suppose to use this controller.

I don't think I had any games that actually used the D-pad besides Mischief Makers.

>zoomie trying to fit in
the controller has always been shit and a point if contention

This is unironically the best controller... for games designed for it. I don't know if I would ever use it for other games though. At the same time I'd never want to play Mario 64 with anything else.

>initially like the thicc controller
>smaller model feels weird at first
>eventually get used to it and can't figure out how I ever used the fatass model in the first place

Have you played the XBLA ports of BK and Perfect Dark? The Gamecube/Xbox design is vastly superior even for games designed for N64

there were literally options to change the yellow to d pad in some games

Why would you do that?

>he never played WCW vs NWO REVENGE
What a faggot

GameCube controller literally shits all over this piece of shit. Didn’t this controller’s thumb stick literally give people bloody hands after playing Mario party? Like ffs lmfao

>How did you guys play something like perfect dark or goldeneye with this
Learn the Autoaim. Embrace the Autoaim.

>Didn’t this controller’s thumb stick literally give people bloody hands after playing Mario party?
only because people were stupid and used their palm instead of their thumb.
