F*** yea

Command and Conquer seems to work fine on the N64. Controller is, obviously, harder to use than mouse and keyboard but it's doable.

the N64 controller was just made horribly.

Then why do I love it so much?

Actually, I already know the answer to that: Porn and horrors. I can't elaborate, because there are children in the room. Plus, the picture I'd attach would get me at least temp banned.

[fruckert]

I could use my imagination.
Not sure if I want to though.

[Cerebus]

No need to lie, we all know you wanted and actually did it already.

I thought SC64 was one of the 64's better games and I loved the 64 more than then PS1. The controller was awesome for everything but FPS's. Though it did have my favorite zelda games on it, and the controllers were perfect for those.

Are you serious? The controller was actually made so you could not physically reach all the buttons without mobing your hand's position on the controller. This is poor design.

[Archem]

So you couldn't use the d-pad or L? Big deal! No games ever actually used them (and if they did, they didn't end up needing one of the other wangs on the controller).

This applied to third-party, too.

Who cares if the software created work arounds, the hardware should be made for humans, not strange 3 handed mutant-men.

Fact: The N64 tripod controller was made solely around Mario 64. The stick and -pad being ways to walk, yellow d-pad to move camera, and buttons to be buttons.

Every game had to adjust to this controller because Nintendo wanted to have a controller for AN ENTIRE CONSOLE just for ONE SINGLE GAME.

This is bad design. Bad design, failure. The PSX controller is way superior than the N64 controller mainly because you can use all the buttons at the time instead of a certain group. If you haven't noticed, but most N64 games use multiple buttons for a single action. Flawed design. The PSX clearly wins controller wise.

Though, this ain't saying anything about games. Games differ per person more than the controller. I would also say something about the Dreamcast, but quite frankly, I've only touched a Dreamcast once in my life.

Im sorry this is just not true. The 64 controller while not very applicable with FPS, was built very well to fit just about every game for the 64, the D pad was hard to use but seeing as these buttons were mainly used for camera angles or just nothing at all it didnt matter all that much. The controller worked perfect with both zelda games, and between them Mario 64, and Goldeneye (though didnt work very well with controller) they were some of the most sold games on the 64. Other games such as Banjo, Rayman, miscillaneous fighting games the controller worked just as well as a PSX controller.

The dreamcast's size of controller kinda made it hard, but When your playing games Like Time stalkers, or skies of Arcadia that doesn't become a problem. The game Fur-fighters was 3rd person shooter that I felt had perfect controls for a game like that.

You're missing a point here. It EXCLUDES an entire category of game. That's like saying a song is good if you exclude the vocals. No it's not. The guitar is good then, the song still gets raped. The controller still gets raped. Besides, tripod? WTF?

With the PSX, you can grap any game you want and learn the controls in a matter of minutes. With the N64, some controls take fucklong to learn. I'm speaking from recent experience, of course. I have loads of years of experience with the N64, didn't use it for four years and playing on it again. Took me a goddamn long time for 50% of the games to learn again. And I'm not talking about just two games, 50% average of 16.

I picked up most the games I played quickly, Donkey Kong 64 Banjo-Tooie, Mario Kart, Super Smash Brothers, and Golden Eye. Hell we had a night where we played all these games multiplayer mode, and not a single person complained about controls. It's nothing different, I find it to be no excuse to blame the controller itself. Either I'm some prodigy, or you just hate the N64 controller itself.

[Darkfox]

I never has too much trouble with the N64 controller, but I have fair sized hands, might be too much for people with smaller hands. XD

>_>

<_<

Also I like Super Mario 64.

We cant help your a bit... slow... J/K most people I talk to didnt have a problem with the N64 controller the only people I know who REALLY complain about about the 64 controller are the ones who had sex with thier PS1, and jerked it to PSX magazines.
