I will never understand people who have a problem with the N64 pad.
And I don't understand how you can hurt yourself with it!!!

Certainly today modern controllers are better. And they are especially so with the games for which they are made, modern games.
and it's the same with the N64, N64 games are made to be played with an N64 pad.

I got the N64 at 14 with Mario 64.
I finished the 120 stars in a week, I had no particular problem with the controls. and today whether with an original pad or with an Xbox 360 pad it's the same.

Playing Mario 64 or Zelda Oot with another controller does not improve gameplay.

>> No.10889570

>>10888416
How is it worse? It didn't literally injure the player. Star Wars 3D played like heaven with that analog stick. The problem with Atari 5200 was the games not optimized for the non centering analog stick rather than the analog stick itself.

I recently learned the trick of mapping L2 to switch the face buttons to being the C buttons. Hold for all C buttons, let go for A/B/C up/C right. For most games it’s smoother than using the right stick for C.

Not only it hurts your thumb and makes your palm bleed, it will turn its base into swiss cheese the more you use it. It's literally the dumbest and worst controller ever conceived in history. Nintendo should've gone with Hall Effect analog like Sega if they wanted high precision, but no, they had to turn a mouse trackball into an analog stick like the apes they were. Remember how nintendo gave the 3DS a fucking nub instead of a right analog or a touchpad? They never fucking learned.
