These were the best damn controllers.
Man. I remember both using the controller and seeing that add. One of those GameInformer magazines way back when it was still around.

Carpet in the bathroom? Bold choice
You've never heard of bathmats? They're fairly common worldwide.
Worldwide? Never seen in my life even in media.
Yes? And how prominently do bathroom floors feature in the media you consume? It's not like this is some outlandish idea lmao
The good old days.
When that door is closed, you're forced to stare at yourself on the toilet.
Helps increase the pleasure.

You say "forced to", he says "able to" π€·
Ok but playing a game through a mirror would be hard af
Solution: play through two mirrors
Controller settings: Reverse X Axis.
Not on the GameCube tho, where button remapping involves a soldering iron or a custom PCB.
There are quite a lot of GameCube games that let you invert the camera controls. But I'm not aware of any that would let you invert the left analog stick
Is that Metroid Prime? Especially Metroid Prime.
Bathroom design advice: donβt hang mirrors facing toilets.
Unless you're into that shit, pun intended..
My absolute favourite controller of all time. No contest.
Iβve bought a kickstarter gamecube controller thatβs supposed to be shipped by February. Itβs basically a modern GameCube controller, usb-C, wireless, cables to put it directly into GCN/N64β¦ the price is a little hefty but for a good controller (that hopefully lasts longer than my ps5 stickβ¦) Iβm willing to pay that.
Hereβs the link for anyone interested, but I think you canβt get any more: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nicemitch/gc-ultimate-controller-kit/
For those that don't care about being able to plug it into the GameCube or N64 there is also the Nyxi Wizard

As someone whoβs currently rolling a nut log, this has come full circle. If only Nintendo could see me stream their games to my phone while I churn some fresh colon sausage.
I generally nut ropes, but mad props to a man who can nut logs
