[Multiplatform] Nintendo 64 controller versus psx dualshock

I prefer PS1's controller. Analogue sticks aren't necessary for 90% of PS1/2 games but it's nice to have that available to you.

The 64 controller was fine for things like Goldeneye, KI2, Pilotwings, etc. Did any game specifically make use of holding the dpad and analogue stick positions? I remember watching some video advertising the 64 and the "three positions" but most of the time there were only two.

Most amazing jew boots

Companies copy their competition blatantly all the time. Like the PS3's home button and the Wii's home button copying the 360's home button, etc. It doesn't matter to most people. All people care about is themselves, what they want, their entertainment, and what games they're most likely going to purchase.

Uh yeah it is.

I'm not sure if you've been around a fighting game on the DS lately (Guilty Gear Dust Strikers, Jump Ultimate Stars, etc) but it's a pain in the ass trying to play them with such a tiny dpad.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
