/vr/ - Retro Games

Green means bad on the planet of three-armed monsters that Nintendo designed the N64 controller for.

>>10609735
It's so mysterious and sexy bros

Idk the Saturn controller did the exact same shit on its controller. I wouldn't have minded an all black design like sega did since the colors are kind of autistic looking.

>>10609735
I remember everyone unanimously hating the god awful N64 controller my entire life, until I finally came to /vr/ in 2013 and saw people actually defending that abomination here. My entire life, everywhere I went, people despised this piece of shit, but only on this putrid shit-hole did I find any of the cockroaches hiding in the crevices of society posting here that actually enjoyed it.

This should give you a vivid insight into the quality of this board.

>>10609947
Jesus, lighten up. We love video games here

>>10609947
explain why you think it's bad?

Cause red is start, and it looks more aesthetic this way.

>>10609958
Retarded placement of the analog stick, having two possible different d-pad layouts with the official d-pad and then the C buttons, the shoulder buttons which become annoying and awkward to use especially if the game focuses on the analog stick to use, and then there's the the fact that the trigger goes on the middle dildo instead of being on the right hand side which would make a whole lot more sense, but refused to because of autism or some other reason. I could also point to the fact that the analog stick is generally very loose and easy to dead-zone.

>>10609947
It's literally not even bad.

>>10609735
The colors were decided by mental stable grownups. Simple as.

>>10609972
You’re supposed to grip the controller differently depending on the title you are playing. You seem not be grasping this simple concept.

>>10609989
anon, clearly you stretch your thumb over the DPAD to the thumbstick

>>10609947
Everyone I knew adapted to it fine including my mother that never played a video game in her life before Mario Kart 64. It's not great (if only for the lack of rubber and contouring) but people making it out to be some crime against logic are just being faggots. The alternate left handed positions were intuitive for every person I know.

>>10609935
>the Saturn controller did the exact same shit on its controller
Only half of the nip controllers and a BR one

>>10609989
That's part of the problem.

>>10609989
It's still better to have access to the D-Pad without having to change grip. Proper D-Pad placement could have allowed shit like putting the boots and ocarina on the D-Pad in OoT for example

>>10610034
It still can do that

>>10609735
>Red: Start
>Green: B
>Blue: A

>>10609735
In Japan, they're both considered blue buttons.

>>10609735
Blue means yes in Japan, they already had red and yellow elsewhere. B gets green

>>10609735
>Start is stop sign red

Japan uses blue traffic lights.

>>10609947
there's something straight up wrong with you if you have a mental freak out over using an n64 controller

>>10609972
Must be a manlet with little girl hands, tough life, let off some steam brother

>>10610861
>start pauses the game

Im left handed masterrace and never had any trouble with the N64 controller. Right handed subhumans stay seething.

>>10611264
I’m not sure that affects controllers too much because you’re using your hands, not your arms

>>10609935
>colors are autistic
I thought they were gay? now they're autistic?
fucking colors man

>>10611243
what the fuck does "pausing" relate to a stop sign?

>>10610865
Indeed, but they still use red for stopping.

>>10609947
>>10609972
This. Why didn't Nintendo just copy the Xbox One controller design? Smh

>>10609947
Funny, everyone I knew loved the N64 until I came to /VR/ and it was full of detractors who loved getting epilepsy from wobbly PlayStation graphics. Maybe you grew up in a bubble with retarded opinions?

It's Spanish.
A-zul
Be-rde

>>10609972
If you honestly think our modern controllers, either symmetric stick or otherwise, you're retarded. At least the control was designed with some thought towards ergonomics.

>>10611685
Modern controllers are better*

>>10611584
You're grasping. Are you unaware that different cultures have different association? Whatever the case you're an insufferable faggot.

Because Miyamoto raped your mom

>>10609738
It's two controllers put together, retard. You don't need to use all 3 at once for any game.

I have never had any difficulty whatsoever using different controllers for video games outside of maybe 70s controllers and its crazy to care this much

>>10611286
Because pausing "stops" the gameplay

Touche

>>10611730
>You don't need to use all 3 at once for any game
The AKI wrestling games all use both the d-pad and the stick, plus the buttons.

Tendie cope status: Debunked

>>10611802
Exactly.
This is the fault of the controller.

But when a game has crappy control on Snes, PS1 or Xbox, then we all agree that it's only the developers' fault, right?
eh ?

>>10612221
Yes, because bad control schemes on the systems you mention are caused by a failure on the developer's to utilize the controller's features. Only on the N64 are developers punished FOR using all the capabilities of the controller put in front of them. Make your game for our system, but oh yeah, please don't use the d-pad we put on there for decoration. Or, use the d-pad, but you can't have analogue controls. Alternatively, you can have both... but only two buttons, like you're releasing something for the fucking NES.

Compromise compromise compromise to mitigate disastrous design decisions. The N64 controller is proof that tendies will defend literally anything.

>>10609735
Why is anything about the n64 controller the way it is? Nintendo must have been taking huge hits of LSD when they made that fucking thing.

>>10612401

>>10612449
Name five (50) games that use the middle one

>>10612454
every shooter on the console

>>10612460
also Sin and Punishment and Bangai-O

>>10612460
Hexen for N64 has two control schemes to pick from and neither of them do the middle one.

>>10609972
No lies were told here, nintendostans seething about it.

>>10612449
Yeah and that was fucking stupid, there was no need to break it into 3 like that. Ps1 already had four shoulder buttons and 4 face buttons on a control you only hold in 1 way and shortly after N64 came out launched a dual analogue controller which fit two analog sticks on the same easy to hold controller. Nintendo should have just kept it as a two hand controller and moved the stick and Z over to the left hand side with the stick above the dpad obviously instead of having the switching hands shit.

>>10612507
Anon the Playstation analog came out after the n64

>>10609947
>I remember everyone unanimously hating the god awful N64 controller my entire life
Your entire life as a zoomer who grew up reading internet posts about the subject.

>>10609947
Growing up in a 3rd world shit hole must have been rough, I can only imagine.

>>10609947
I literally had no problem with the N64 controller back then, the only ones that did were dumb faggots who were never pleased with Nintendo's "unorthodox" controllers, and then shouted "PLAGIARISM!" when the Wii U pro controller resembled an Xbox 360 controller.
What's wrong? I thought you wanted Nintendo to conform.

>>10609735
they hastily slapped on sufami colors after ditching the based ULTRA aesthetics

>>10612513
And Nintendo could have been a fast moving company like Sony and released their own update controller after Sony dunked on them with the dual analogue.

>>10613076
most games didn't use analog sticks on PS1

>>10609738
I disagree with your stance but fpbp for making me kek

>>10609972
You might not have noticed since you're sperging, but the c-buttons aren't a dpad retard

>>10612867
Ultra felt like a proper next step from Super.
I wonder why they scrapped this at all...
It would've been a lot better.
Damn it, 90s Nintendo.

>>10609826
Not really, fag

>>10609947
>be 10 years old, with ps1
>at friends house, with n64
>"here's your controller bro"
>"um...what the fuck how do i hold this"
>"oh you have to use the analog stick to move around"
>"uhhh yeah im gonna use the dpad"
>"it doesnt work like that"

You autists bump the worst threads it's incredable.

>>10609826
Ghei

>>10609947
This.
It's crazy how /vr/ is a blatant tendie board now and the faggots don't even try to hide it, worse they even have a victim complex where they do think everyone here's out to get Nintendo, it's retarded. N64 sucked, it still sucks, deal with it.

>>10615004
This is the type of satire I love. Keep up the good work.

>>10615004
>/vr/ is a blatant tendie board now
cope

>>10610854
It's true

>>10609738
This is a meme right? There arent actually retards who think youre supposed to use all 3 grips at once are there?

>>10610034
You have small hands if you cant reach the dpad when your left hand is on the middle hold. That is especially embarrassing when you realize this was designed by the japanese.

>>10612460
Wrong. Turok uses left hand on middle right on right.

>>10617045
you can do both

>>10617047
Wouldnt know, only ever used the default aka the real settings

>>10617116
so why post?

>>10617120
To let that faggot know he was wrong about the middle image. Your gotcha of alternate controls was irrelevant

>>10617128
there really are some special level trolls on this board

>>10617132
so why post?

>>10617140
because you started with a legitimate post and it devolved into drivel

>>10609826
Mysterio's Sexy Bros. is what supposed to be a launch title for the console. Unfortunately Nintendo couldn't secure a deal with Marvel so they've had to muster up some mid-tier replacement.

>>10617149
>drivel
Ive been completely salient. Drivel is talking about settings and configs nobody ever or would ever use.

the real blunder was not just including a second analog stick but accepting the premise of a single stick controller I do kind of struggle to think of a better alternative to the trident outside of something like a wii style nunchuck. If you put the stick on the same side as the dpad then that eliminates the wasd fps control scheme, if you put it on the right that means no face buttons when you're playing mario, and completely skirting tradition and having your movement control placed on the right side.

>>10612449
the funny things is that so many dumbfuck devs still couldn't figure out the middle. the obvious equivalent of wasd + mouse is rarely the default and you have some weirdass scheme where you're strafing left and right with the stick.

>>10617245
Because they used the left image. You move with the c buttons tardo. stick is purely aiming.

>>10617040
And it's totally comfortable right? Reminds me of people defending the claw grip for playing Monster Hunter on PSP

Fun fact, the old kanji for "Ao" could mean both Green or Blue, it was considered the same color. It wasn't until more recent times that japanese started using Midori to differentiate Green.
Did you also notice the N64 controller still use the 4 colors of the SFC controller? Yellow, blue, green and red.

>>10609947
Must suck to live around retards
