| MontanaHatchet said: The Nintendo 64 controller was horrible. It doesn't really belong in a top 10 list for controllers if there's a whole part of the controller than you can't use (the D-Pad side). A good controller should be comfortable and accessible so that a person can press the buttons when they need to immediately react. Besides, the N64's pad has crappy buttons. |
N64 pad is really comfortable to me... I think it rivals the GameCube in terms of hand fittingness.
I agree on the button accecibility bit though.... but you could think of it like this:
With the N64 you had 6 face buttons, 2 shoulder buttons and some form of control... the control you got to choose between stick or d-pad.
Which is actually what I did at first... I wasn't used to steering with the stick so I used the d-pad method for my first N64 game.
With the Dual Analogue you have 4 face buttons, 4 shoulder buttons and then the choice of either pushing the d-pad into oblivion to make it work, or stretching your thumbs into silly positions to sit on extremely loose control sticks. (and I have long thumbs... or perhaps that is the problem, maybe shorter thumbs is better for the DA)
