[Multiplatform] Nintendo 64 controller versus psx dualshock

Dual Shock (called the "DS" from here on, not to be confused with NDS), since it's the better overall alternative. The N64's controller isn't bad for 3d plattformers or Zelda-like action, but overall, it doesn't quite cut the cake for me.

The DS also gets points when it comes to ergonomic and esthetic design in my book, so there's absolutely no questioning why Sony decides to reuse it's design over and over. Why change a near perfect design when you can just modify it slightly for better performance?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

sixaxis? motion captors (I think) and pressure sensitive l2/r2 triggers.

sure they look they same but in the inside they are all different pieces of hardware. :3

I don't know what you mean by "real analog joysticks", but if you mean that they are physically a bit more resilliant compared to the original DS then, yeah, but otherwise they work in the same way. The "pressure sensitive" (analog) l2/r2 triggers were actually already implemented in the DS2. Try playing MGS2 with DS2 and you'll see for yourself.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
