/vr/ - Retro Games

i play dpad games with the thumbstick

just a dualshock. nintendo d-pads suck DICK.

Thumbsticks can save them.

just say you want a new jaguar controller, op

>>6617289
It's an underrated controller but it needs analog sticks.

>>6617449
>analog sticks.
>on a 8/16bit system
HAHAHAHA

>>6616467
simple as

>>6617595
I love owning that controller.

>>6617595
Yeah Op it’s pretty much this controller. Your idea is a bit shit

>>6617595
this plus a select button

>>6616467
The Saturn pad already exists

>>6617595

No it's shit. It makes games where you have to jump and run while shooting at 8 directions terrible.

Say it with me. "BUTTONS BELONG ON THE BACK OF THE CONTROLLER NOT THE FRONT"

Why limit most of the functionality to two thumbs when you have 8 fingers that don't even come close to where most buttons are?

the metroid gba game fixed this by making R a button that holds your position while you aim. making your character run in one direction while shooting in the complete opposite would look retarded. also more sprite work. maybe they had it that way because the principle of games should be to keep it simple.

>>6618807
This is not simpler than robotron or smash tv

>>6618807
>having to stop while aiming
Doesn't sound good.
>making your character run in one direction while shooting in the complete opposite would look retarded
You look retarded. That's possible in real life.
>more sprite work.
>keep it simple
Sounds like copout to me.

>>6618791
twin sticks are useful for this even if the game is side-scrolling
left stick for being able to jump in any arbitrary direction, right stick to be able to aim in any arbitrary direction

>>6618791
Anon you'd need to reconfigure those games to work with a dual D-pad setup.

>>6616467
I'll take the saturn game pad.

>>6616467
anon, i...

OP here. I mean, it's for the 8 or 16 bit console that could've been back in the 80s or 90s. So the games would've needed to be specifically made for that controller.

>>6619371
That thing inspired me too. Too bad the games are shit.

Go sit in the corner you clown.

You don't have to stop while aiming in Metroid, retard.

>>6620496
Alright, but that's just like saying that a strafe toggle button is better than having real strafe left/strafe right buttons.

For me, its the RG350M

>>6617595
This meme shit is overrated.
It has its purposes, but for games designed with a diamond layout in mind, the placement and different sizes of the buttons make it uncomfortable to use.

Sometimes I wonder if the people that suck its dick actually use it and in what games.

>>6621969
You are a homo m8. H. O. M. O. simple as.

The eternal Nintoddler

>>6617595
Just needs x,y,z to be concave then it would be perfect for 2D games. Add thumbsticks to it and it's perfect for 3D games too.

>>6621969
What? How about own more then one controller.

>>6618791
It is the best controller ever made, nothing comes close except the Fighting Commander.

>>6623381
What's that funky looking controller down and to the left of the switch joycons? I kinda like how it looks but I worry that D-pad's one of those awful ones that can be pushed in like a button

>>6617584
Anon, Jaguar is 64 bits. Well, not really but yeah 64.

>>6617595
Total shit

>>6618797
Same reason most people can’t play instruments. Most people don’t have that kind of natural finger dexterity with their right hand. Our left and right hands are good at different tasks. Which is why some people are “left” handed

>>6624119
take your meds schizo, you're hallucinating nintendo fans again

>>6624153
>schizo
Same Nintencel posting anti-Sega shit.

>>6619196
Is that Soldat?

>>6624337
yep
questionably retro, but not the only one of it's kind, just one that came to mind
