Why didn't they just do this. It seems so fucking obvious.

the anolog stick would control like shit, and no access to the z buttton

This is objectively worse, though. Now you can only use the analog stick with your left hand whereas before you could use it in your right hand if need be.

would the Z-trigger still be under the joystick? I imagine it was intentional that both the D-Pad and Joystick had a button associated with them. I think I'd prefer Joystick+Z over Joystick+L

the Z trigger is much more comfy and was supposed to simulate a gun trigger

Why do people even dislike the original layout?

It's different, yeah, but different is good. I really hate how every fucking controller is exactly the same these days, bar waggle gimmicks.

It came to a point where you sereiously cannot tell anymore if someone is meming or really confused by the thing having THREE WHOLE prongs (oh man how is a human with just two hands supposed to use this thing???) therefore it's made for aliums etc.

Although it's not as bad as memer makes it out to be
It does ruin being able to use both analog stick and d-pad at the same time. not sure how often that'd actually be helpful, but it could've been


but complaining about the analog stick is being in the middle is silly, it doesn't matter which prong it's on

Thinking about it it probably wouldn't be so bad. Most N64 games ignored the d-pad entirely, too.
Honestly the only real problem with this controller is that it's too narrow. Widen it up by about an inch and it'd be gold.

>> No.4317196

>>4317190
yeah... that's a reach.

>> No.4317203

An inch at least, obviously, though an inch can make a lot of difference.
Like the difference between 5'11" and 6'.

>> No.4317212

Are these threads made by underage fags?

I was 8 and never had any problem understanding how to grab the controller and neither did any of my friends or anyone I ever saw playing.

I think the only person I ever saw trying to reach for the analog with their left hand on the d-pad was some oblivious adult.

>there is literally someone walking the earth that is retarded enough to think this was an improvement
lmao good luck playing any first person shooters you fucking faggot. you'll be using buttons to look up and down while I move with dpad and aim with analog, effectively dual analog.

the sad thing is, people don't realize that the N64 controller was the best of its gen. the dualshock was "technically" superior, but almost none of the games supported it, and Nintendo was anal about making sure developers made smart design decisions and included custom control options, so they always played better.

sounds like you need to go back to playing Xbox One and let the big boys worry about real games, bud.

You've been chanting this in multiple threads about controllers and claiming they need a very specific control scheme to work.

FYI FPS can work on the 3d control pad, they just aren't going to be twinstick fps. Stop being autistic.

It's also really hard to get from button to button if they are spaced apart.
Was playing Hercs Adventures and you have to use some kind of claw grip to press Z to run and A or B at the same time.

It's not a bad controller, just not the greatest.

>still bitching about the N64 controller

There's fucking options now, just give it a rest already. This was the beginning of the 3D era and y'all bitching about how you could've made the controller better 28 years later.

Yeah, you're not smart or clever, hind sight is 20/20 and we got 3 years to go fuckers.

Also, stfu and use this, it works flawlessly

You've never seen the inside of an N64 controller, huh? The whole joystick mechanism is kind of bulky and to try and stick away from the center would also mean you'd have to change the ergonomics of the entire controller.
