The N64 controller is the worst designed controller of all time. I don't understand how Nintendo went from the great SNES controller, to one where you can never reach all the buttons unless you completely reposition your hand to another grip. Most games that used the analog stick could not have it where you used the D-Pad and L shoulder button. Thankfully, Sony came along and showed us how an analog controller should be.

I think if you took the iQue controller layout, but replaced the D-pad with a better one, it would have been a good controller for the N64. It looks like they took queues from the Saturn (analog)/Dreamcast controller, which were pretty good controllers.
