You can't use the D-pad, analog stick, and face buttons all at the same time without changing placement of your hands.

It's objectively shit design compared to pic related or the Dualshock.

It was a step down from this in basically every aspect.

If you look at it from a modern perspective, they suck

If you look at it from a pre-analogue stick world then it was the only real way to do 3D

Remember, The Saturn and Playstation didnt have any analogue sticks for the first 2-3 years. RE came in March '96, Dualshocks predecessor was released April '97, pic related came in May '96. Also N64 wasnt released until a month after the 3d Control Pad so no Mario 64 to give an example of how to do 3D

How do you go to this: >>7480962

...from THIS?

>this literal who company makes the perfect controller before dreamcast/xbox by just improving the saturn controller
NINTENDO, HIRE THIS MAN!

Superior 5th gen controller coming through.

>analog triggers
>analog stick that doesn't wear out from use
>can access stick, D-pad, and all the buttons without having to re-position your hand placement

Yep, I'm thinking Sega Saturn is my future.

Why are these things so fucking expensive now?

Last time I looked I could find one for 20 bucks, now the going rate is $50?

Saturn already has a good 3D controller, why turn the controller meant for 2D games into a 3D one?

They really should have marketed this controller better. It makes every first party game after NiGHTs play so much better but most people didn’t have one. Games like Burning Rangers and PDS are so much better with the 3D controller.

But Saturn had one? And it kicks the shit out of Dreamcast's.

I agree that it's a better controller than the N64's, it just seems like they somehow regressed in almost every way from the Saturn 3D pad.

That anon's wrong. The Saturn Multi Controller came out with NiGHTS in 1996.

So I've got a problem with my Saturn 3D pad, the magnets in the triggers keep falling out meaning I can't reliably use the triggers making games like Guardian Heroes unplayable, any ways I can fix this?
I've been thinking about using tape, putting Blu Tack at the back of the magnets or just simply Super Gluing them into place.

>With a Sega Saturn controller.

More specifically the NiGHTS 3D control pad.

>>5285379
You really should play it with a Saturn 3D controller, the analog stick on it is amazingly precise.

>>5235705
How well does NiGHTS actually play on this meme controller?

>>5115263
Which controller are you using? Hope you have a 3D controller since the game makes very good use of it.

>we have the perfect pad... what should we do next?
>let's fuck it up as much as possible
>sounds good

It's like they took the Saturn 3D controller and tried to figure out how to fuck it up as much as possible

neither

i hope you have a 3D pad to use with the game.
