Yes, yes, and yes. If only they had gone a little further with the controller and ended up with something more like the GCN controller. Wow. That would've been the cherry on top. The N64 "trident" controller was so wicked cool at the time though. 

It was.  I think most people that call it weird probably played it after having used the GC or later controllers. I still miss the Z-trigger.  The Wii's nun-chuck controller is the closest we've come to getting it back.

Yup. Looking back, the trident is more of a "what we're they thinking" kinda thing, but back then it was just the next step that needed to be taken. To go from the SNES controllers to N64 was pure mad genius at the time.

With the rear XB and PS buttons now showing up, who knows, maybe Nin will make use of the Z trigger(s) again somehow on a Pro controller.
