You must not be old enough or perhaps you just don't remember. Back in the early 80's the 2600 and C64 both used the same controllers, it was the standard way to play games. It seemed like it was the way to do things at the time. The expectation of many kids was that the 2600 controller would be used for many years to come as they'd become accustomed to it. The first time one of the 2600 players picked up an NES controller they would have screamed bloody murder as it would have made no sense to them (I was one of these people) I instantly hated the NES for it's crappy D-pad and 2 button controller you held the wrong fricking way. In fact I believe the first time I held the NES controller I held it the wrong way. Gamings past is litered with this stuff... everytime a new controller comes out, people scream murder. The N64 controller also suffered from this same problem. The old school needs time to retrain their brains... I almost never played an NES again, man that would have been a shame! |
You are right, my first console played was the NES, so i guess i never would have noticed such a change back then
