Let's be honest with ourselves.

The N64 controller's design is terrible.

I was good enough to do okay in SSB64 tourneys. Playing casually with friends I always win. I dunno, accurate enough. If it is worse, I adapted.

It doesn't matter much now anyhow, I've become too old to be competitive.

not that guy but i have more tactile control when my thumb has to reach for the stick. putting my thumb directly over the stick makes me clunky and imprecise

No, in fact, it was and is so great that all the game companies copied it, albeit rearranged. Most people just don't know how to hold the dang things.

>all the game companies copied it
I don't see any company using the 3 handles. The only thing close was plugging in the memory card in the back of the controller, which Sega used. But they were smart enough to have two slots, one for memory card and the other a rumble pack. There's just one big difference with their memory card. The Dreamcast one had a screen on it. Another difference was that the Dreamcast rumble pack didn't require batteries.

[Anonymous No.4352451]

>>4352427
HAHA! Uh no. Sony copied the N64 controller hands down and everyone who knows their games knows that. Nintendo pioneered the analogue stick (that was worth a fuck) during the fifth generation. Everyone is now using a warped N64 controller.

The analog stick has been around long before N64 came around. Vectrex is proof of that.

[Anonymous No.4352473]

how bad will my games be if i get a GC style replacement stick? I know the sensitivity is off but if i just get it for my 4th player controller will it matter that much?

[Anonymous No.4352476]

>>4352465
I'm just speaking to consoles of course. It would be better stated as:"Nintendo pioneered the built-in analogue stick in tandem with its directional cross and requisite buttons."

[Anonymous No.4352483]

>>4352469
Remember I posted:"(that was worth a fuck)? The Vectrex was garbage and so was its controller. How can you honestly compare that junk to the sensitive and responsive N64 stick? Goldeneye and that stick turned the gaming world upside down and was the hottest game at the time around the world.

[Anonymous No.4352489]

>>4352473
I'd agree it wouldn't matter so much, but it's awkward at times.

[Anonymous No.4352494]

>>4352483
Doesn't matter what you think of the Vectrex. The fact of the matter is that the Vectrex beat Nintendo to the punch with the analog stick. Also there's nothing wrong with the Vectrex, it's an amazing console.

some guy on pawn stars tried to sell a working vectrex for 200 bucks

[Anonymous No.4352510]

>>4352494
That controller was a joke and the system itself was a sad gimmick. I know its history. Yay buzzing sound that wont' go away. Hooray. Overlays. Stupendous! Nintendo beat everyone to the punch of offering a truly sensitive analogue stick in tandem with its standard directional cross; now all companies follow the big N's example.

[Anonymous No.4352519]

>>4352508
Oh there's no doubt it's a collector's item and working units in good shape ought to command a premium price of course, within reason. Vector displays are neat and it's too bad that manufacturers stopped making them, as the old arcade games like Asteroids really shined with them and can't be emulated with a straight face.

>>4352508
The prices for Vectrex is ridiculous. The cheapest ones are up for bids. But as far as the Buy It Now option goes, it's $425 for the cheapest.

>>4352510
Like I said earlier. It doesn't matter what you think of the Vectrex, it doesn't change the fact Vectrex beat Nintendo to the punch The Vectrex was the first to invent the analog stick. Plus the analog stick is just the ancestor of the joystick. So in the end, it's not an original idea invented by Nintendo.

[Anonymous No.4352562]

>>4352159
I honestly don't blame anyone playing this way. This is how i've played with those damn controlers all my life. I was 7 when i got my N64 for christmas and i had no fucking idea how to hold those things.

[Anonymous No.4352565]

>>4352467
Which, to be fair, goes hand-in-hand with his "I'm such a nurd LOL XD" post. I'd be surprised if many people who played N64 when it was modern employed the Cherrypicker Control Style for normal gameplay. That being said, maybe it would be useful for some Mario Party minigame or something.

[Anonymous No.4352572]

>>4352562
except i let my palm rest on the controller with my thumb and pointing finger holding the joystick and pressing the Z button with my middle finger.

[Anonymous No.4352573]

>>4352543
Ah ah ah..you're changing parameters. Anyway, the analogue stick came out in 1978 in the 1292 Advanced Programmable Video System predating the Vectrex by several years. The 'trex simply ganked the same design as one can plainly see. My point stands, Nintendo pioneered the true home console analogue stick with backup digital pad.

[Anonymous No.4352580]

>>4352565
Oh I know. In fact, it's harder to hold it wrong, so I wonder why people do it. There's a picture up thread showing the correct way and the controllers came packed with guides, so I guess the younger set is at fault. *ducks*

The Duke is legitimately one of the most comfortable controllers in existence, handlets and Japs can't appreciate its beauty.

[Anonymous No.4353006]

Always just grip the middle handle with a thumb on the stick and a finger on the Z trigger.

Why even have the L button or D pad? No worthwhile games used them.
