Man, the one time in your life you manage to hit with his kick taunt 😘👌

What else am I supposed to spam from all the way on the other side of the Zelda's castle stage while you make your way over to me only for me to SD just to waste your time?

Am I the only one who liked the GameCube and N64 controllers? I do not understand how anyone held a 1st-gen Xbox controller and went “now THIS is my fuckin JAM” or whatever we said in 2001

I remember that Penny Arcade really hated them:

I have very large hands, so even back then, that 1st gen Xbox fattie controller was magnificent. I miss them dearly.

Hyperkin released a modernized version of the Duke, works with Xinput on PC just like any Xbox controller. Has both the original Black and White buttons as well as updated bumpers for games that really need those instead.

They did a modern version a few years back as a tribute, PC compatible.

Yup, the N64 controller was good. I especially liked the use of the Z button for firing weapons in first person shooters.

Nothing seriously wrong with the GC controller either.

I remember when the N64 came out. I hated the little joystick on the controller so much that I became a PC gamer instead.

metroid prime made good use of d-pad

Metroid Prime

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Always hated the controller (never owned one so never got used to it) but pretty sure I remember some old smash buddies dying by the D-pad.

[–] ysjet@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

But how else would I taunt someone after falcon kneeing then off the stage in smash bros?

[–] rob64@startrek.website 4 points 10 months ago

It was just continuing in the finest tradition of the N64. At least the GameCube controller's was in a position reachable by human thumbs.

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 3 points 10 months ago

I feel like I did on a handful of games, but it's been a hot minute since I owned a GameCube, so who knows?

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Love this controller and love the D-pad for Smash. It got used on my Wii too. I have a Pro for the Switch which is a really good controller, but it's just not the same.

What a save!
