I like the idea of having a z-trigger and that grip. perhaps that controller was inspired by light-point guns made for arcade shooting games. still holds no candle to a DualShock 1 but at least it was more comfortable to hold.

I hate it just like the N64 in general. the birth of the N64 was the death of Nintendo to me. This company always used to stand for quality and then THIS.
The NES, SNES and Game Boy are still pinnacles in video game history and have aged like fine vine. Those games are full of soul while early 3d is eye cancer and a big experimental testing ground of shit. It was a wasted generation you can easily skip and you won't miss out on anything.

I felt that way when the N64 was released and my mind never changed all those years.

But that's besides the point. They didn't know what games would be made and what developers would do when they designed the controller. But considering the entire two generations before it used the d-pad as a staple, and the d-pad was massively important on the playstation, it was the only safe move. It's not a worse controller because few examples of some genres materialized.

Honestly I think this is the case.

Literally -no one- complained about this design for virtually the entire lifespan of the N64. I can’t remember a single person I knew ever once complaining about it. When it was first debuted people may have had a wtf moment because it was such a leap from previous console controllers but it was so optimized for the majority of N64 games it was never though of being a burden etc.

MiniPad and MadCatz is also the only ones on the image that isn't using the stock analog mechanism.
I assume the MadCatz one use the same mechanism as became the standard due cost saving, shipping with more default deadzone.
Not sure about Hori one. Might still be a potentiometer under there, but I doubt it.

I also have fun memories of playing Turok with reverse controls: C buttons to move, analog to aim.
And a few other shooters. Movement do not need to be analog so long camera is, since you only need to align to get proper free control of angles.

Any position where I am not dedicating 2 fingers per side for L1, L2, R1, R2.
It also means instead of gripping the controller, you now have the fingers randomly under the analog plate extension.

The entire reason why dualshock became a thing is that you grip SCPH-1200, Dualshock and Sixaxis from the pressure between your thumb joint and fingers. Instead of holding it.
At which point they should just have made a Wii Classic controller with bulges underneat to accommodate the rumble.

I've heard games rarely ever used the D-Pad, so once you know that, it's manageable.

It's still a stupid design, though. Why does the control stick have to be on a separate grip? Why not have it near the D-Pad? Hell, there's enough space for it to go to the lower right oof it,

N64 controller isn't good for non-N64 games in the same way a racing wheel isn't good for platformers and an arcade stick isn't good for strategy games. No shit, it's not what it's designed for.

But here's the thing. The N64 games allowed two different ways to hold it. One where the thumb rested naturally on the D-pad, and one where the thumb rested naturally on the analog stick. This is superior to alternatives like the PSX, which is good for games that use the d-pad, but requires somewhat uncomfortable stretching to reach the analog stick, or the other generic controllers which have the opposite problem.

Most games only have you use one or the other. Why even include both on the controller if one of them is inevitably going to be inferiorly placed? And I know the retort of
>but you can't use both at the same time
but honestly, who cares? most games that have you use both just use the D pad as an elevated menu button, so just design your game to not need those extra menu buttons. Oh wait, that's exactly what every worthwhile N64 game did.

And that's the brilliance of the three-prong design. Two ways to hold, so both input methods can be used comfortably, depending on the game. It's elegant in a way Zoomers will never appreciate

I'm fine with the 3-prong controller design. All of the grip types have some application somewhere, though it is a pain not having access to all of your buttons at once and really hindered the system's control layouts. That being said, my real gripe with the N64 is the fucking stick. It's platsic scraping on fucking plastic. It wears out way too quickly and is just so shitty because it's also hard plastic on your thumb instead of the sticks with a bit more padding on them like the PS1 had. Granted, the Dualshock 1 was after the N64, but the point still stands, that uncomfortable stick shouldn't have made it out of the design phase.

Yeah the stick is rough to modern standards but trust me if you had third party or PC controllers of the time you'd realise that N64 stick was actually pretty damn good compared to what the competition offered. Its fantastic for Super Mario 64 and Star Fox 64.
Sony had to take their time to make a controller as good as their analogue PS1 controller.
And Sega had good stick but in a weird position in both the saturn 3D and Dreamcast controllers.
The two controller modes work fine and the controller is erganomic to your grip since you can wrap your hand around both grips. The Z and L and Rs fit perfectly. I think only the C buttons you could argue are weak but then again, Nintendo designed them to be shortcut buttons for non-essential functions and in games that adaopt that kind of design they actually work really well.

The problem with Pac-land, (I do actually like the game) is the freedom of movement. The jumping and running in the game are nowhere near as fluid as in Super Mario Bros.
Thats what makes the game so revolutionary. Its the fluidity of the game mechanics. Atari games generally sucked at it, and only single screen games like Robotron and Pac-man really got it right and it required strong hardware to do at that time.
And there the NES comes out, a console with solid specs and isnt too expensive, by a company who made some really great arcade games, with this game thats immediately accessible, quirky and has a great level of difficulty balance vs the quarter munching arcade games.
Its no wonder it caught on like wildfire. Even as a kid and I saw it on some bootleg box they were trying to sell in shopping malls in the 90s and already having a SNES at home, that image of Super Mario Bros on that crt stayed in my head and my parents had to pull me away because I just wanted to walk up and watch it.
And yeah, years later seeing Pokémon Gold and Silver on a friends PC blew my mind. (This must have been just when the game came out too)

Grab the left prong to play 2D games, grab the middle one to play 3D games. It was a time of transition and they expected the system to have both 3D and pure 2D games. It's really not a crazy idea.

[Anonymous No.6477958]

Good d-pad (basically SNES d-pad), 6 face buttons, trigger button, and an analog stick that, while it's true that it gets loosened over use (especially if you play mario party), it's still more precise and with less death zones than most other controllers. It's not even close, the PS1's dual shock analog is full of deadzone, there's a reason why there's no game on PS1 that requires precise aiming and why most games kept being developed with the d-pad in mind (whih btw, has that annoying segmented shape).
Saturn's 3D controller is a much better contender for the N64's analog stick, but still, N64 just went further with the aiming. I can't play something like Sin and Punishment using a Gamecube or a 360 controller. The precision is just not there.

They didnt know if 3D would really catch on, or 2D would remain popular.
So you have the 2D grip handle and d-pad or 3D grip handle and stick.

90% of n64 games used the stick and middle-handle grip (Access to Z trigger button).
The 3rd handle and D-Pad was only really used to navigating menus most of the time.
Some games, like Pokemon Stadium (a 3D version of a 2D handheld game) exclusively used the D-Pad, so you just held it that way

This is the only valid complaint and it STILL has better precision than most other analog sticks, even when worn out.

I don't remember any game that needs the memory pak plugged in at all times. For example, in Goemon games, you only need to use them when you're about to save. The game tells you that you can re-connect the rumble pak once you finish saving.
As for the left handle, it's true that most games only utilized the right position, but there's games that require the d-pad, like Mischief Makers, Goemon's Great Adventure, Pokemon Stadium. Other games have optional left-hand position, like Goldeneye, Turok, Sin and Punishment. Not many devs really experimented with the left-side position though, that's true. It was almost either right-side position, or traditional famicom-style scheme (using d-pad and buttons, and not the stick)

Not true, but legit point. The same one can last for years. Eventually it would be better to replace it, but not necessary. Nowadays you can simply replace the plastic gears.

>the stick is made of flimsy plastic.

Bullshit!

First of all you clearly have never opened up a N64 stick. The stick doesn't wear out at all, it's the gears, the thing the stick rests in. Those are what wear out.

The wearing out is due to friction and it's due to the precise, mechanical nature of the joystick. No other console joystick has anything like this level of precision because they are all using potentiometers which run by changing electrical currents and not optics. This turns out to be passable and has become the standard for joysticks in videogames but they can't match optical joysticks like the N64 had and discerning players will notice the difference. The words "Nintendo" and "flimsy plastic" do not belong in the same sentence ever, especially not the old Nintendo.

>2) You can't have both the rumble pak and the memory pak plugged in at the same time.
Who cares, vibration is unnecessary and a bit of a gimmick anyway. Games that really wanted to use it could just have the game saved in the SRAM on the cart OR they could ask the player to swap out the rumble pak for the memory pak to save.

>3) Not many games were made with the left handle in mind. You have to always use the middle one. What's the point of the left handle?

3D gaming was in its infancy when the N64 controller was being made. Adding an entire new dimension created a phase of experimentation in gaming hardware and software.

Here is what I think lead to the mindset of the N64 controller: Nintendo quickly realized that the D-pad was going to prove cumbersome for third person polygional games as a whole. Thus, they took the joystick (already the standard at the arcades), shrunk it down, and gave the stick 360° of rotation to create the analogue stick. However, Nintendo didn't think any game would need to use the analogue stick and the D-pad at the same time (the stick was supposed to be a replacement for the pad for 3D games), partially causing the three handle design.

There are plenty of N64 games with graphics technically well beyond what the PS1 could achieve. Like, Conker, World Driver Championship, and Battle for Naboo.

Usually when that is pointed out, PS1 friends then retreat to "but look how good Vagrant Story, Ridge Racer 4, and Final Fantasy IX look". Then when it's pointed out that those games look good not because of technical superiority, but due to thoughtful artstyle or attactive pre-rendered 2D backgrounds, then the PS1friends say "but aesthetics is what truly matters!" even though their original argument was about how the N64 was akshually weaker than the PS1 in practice.

The N64 can do 2D better than the PS1 by the way, but few bothered due to the high cartridge costs.

They aren't. Even putting aside "raw" measures like polygon count, texturing, lighting sophistication, etc, those top N64 games are doing all those things while still featuring image quality enhancement such as perspective-correct texture mapping, edge anti-aliasing and z-buffering (or at least, in WDC's case, more precise z-sorting than on PS1). These 3D
cleanup features are computationally expensive.

it's like the n64 was trying too hard to look like workstation graphics, and not focusing on things more important for gaming purposes

>>6487632
>this and other features which cause n64 games to look distinctly blurry is something i don't really consider a good thing
Thinking edge AA blurs the image suggest a fundamental misunderstanding of how the algorithm works. It's coverage-based, so it only targets edges.

Also, this is a resurrection of the "I don't like its aesthetics, so it doesn't prove technical superiority" argument.

>but not really that big of a deal
It's a pretty big deal when you consider a game like MGS and Resident Evil, when those polygonal joints keep popping. A similar technical advantage lies in the fact that the N64 computes vertex coordinates at a far higher precision than PS1 (preventing the polygon wobbling which is prevalent on the latter platform).

>yea the textures are perspective-correct, are always drawn where they're supposed to be, etc, except they're a 32x32 image stretched over 5m2 due to bandwidth and cart size constraints, so they're a blurry, incomprehensible mess anyway
This is more of a stereotype of the earliest or most poorly programmed N64 games, than later software like Conker which have high texture resolutions, and in fact, a texture pipeline which outputs more varied textures in the one frame than PS1 games (some of the better PS1 games just resort to high frequency tiling of high resolution textures).

things like texture warping, z-fighting, and point filtering where things that were pretty easy to ignore, while texture size, polygon count, and framerate, for example, were things which stood out more for me, and i don't think the n64 was consistently better at any of those

It would be more the single channel memory shared by every component of the console, than the high latency (though that was a problem too). But yeah, it made refreshing the texture cache difficult unless memory usage was ridiculously well optimized. Many games did not do this.

[Anonymous No.6487676]

>>6487667
The CPU did have direct access to RAM (despite what you may have heard) but the memory controller was designed to give priority to the GPU if they both tried to access RAM at the same time (and only one component could access RAM at once). The reasoning for this was that the CPU could operate without RAM by accessing cache, while the GPU can't do much without RAM access.

And yes, Nintendo's approach relied way too much on developers having to optimize RAM usage properly. Had the N64 contained a second memory channel, it would literally be 10x easier to develop for by that change alone.

Halo was successful because it had hidden auto aim that gave the illusion of better controls. Also MS paid reviewers to actually figure out how dual analog shooters worked and praise it.

The hatred for this controller is a bit of a meme IMO, I feel like people look at the 3 grips and just assume its bad. The only problem is that the stick wears out over time, actually holding and using the controller is completely fine as no game (at least, no well designed game) ever had you use all the buttons. It's perfectly fine.

Apples are available in greater variety, have a juice that stores, transports, and ferments better, and is better at matching other breakfast foods.
Both are tree fruits that are grown in North America with a sweet and acidic flavour profile. Apples and oranges are also both grown for juice and use as the base in the flavourings of confections and sauces.

i had the superpad plus and quickly replaced my vanilla controllers with more of them. it's like a gamecube controller prototype.

[Anonymous No.6496695]

The N64 controller felt very unnatural to me. I still used it though and played the shit out of Goldeneye, Mystical Ninja Goemon, OoT, etc etc.
Then they release the Gamecube and the controller is even worse. It was so shitty and awkward I couldn't deal with it. Never bought a Nintendo product after that.

I remember when I tried playing Super Mario 64 for the first time with this controller, I was so confused. I held it in the most traditional way, but reaching that thumb stick was difficult. All I can think of was..."Does Nintendo think people have 3 arms?"
