Do you think this is a better controller for the N64 than the N64 controller was?

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.

I can't recall a game on the N64 that mad you move your hand away from one postion. Ocarina only uses the L button for the vertical strike, Menu scrolling, and a note for the Ocarina. Which isn't used in the songs. Just for goofing off. Can you list a game that made you switch around? I keep seeing people say they went nuts with the controller. And I never ran into this issue once. Granted I only have 10 N64 games. I'm curious.
