What is there to not get?

>>386884390
why is it so popular. what's so special about it

>>386883953

The original n64 controller was a 3-legged monstrosity, a design which meant you didn't have access to all the buttons at once. Using the analog meant not using the D-pad, using the Z-button meant not using the L-button. On top of that, the original N64 controllers had the problem of the analog sticks eventually grinding into dust, becoming literally unusable, therefore, many of the original controllers don't work as they should.

In comes this controller. You can now reach every button, you don't have to change legs, and the analog isn't worthless.

What do you not understand about this?

>no octagonal gates in the analog stick
Useless for most games. You might as well use a WiiU Pro and emulate.

>>386883953
The only thing I don't like is the double z buttons. I would rather it have been like the Steam controller or the Xbox Elite, where they have the button/paddles/whatever on the analog stick, just so it'd be more like the original N64

>>386884191
>>2 'Z' buttons
>>1 analog stick
>>next gen design

What n64 game do you want to play with a c-stick? Ever played OOT on a GameCube?

Seems like a cashgrab though

>>386884815
I don't get the "3 legs are bad" meme. The N64 controller is literally just a SNES controller with two extra buttons and an optional analog stick. Everyone assumes for some reason that using the dpad and analog stick at the same time was expected back then.
It was created before 3D games were really a thing on consoles, so the controller had the ability to fall back to being an ordinary 2D controller if the N64 received a 2D game.
I see the purpose of this new controller, but the people who shit on the N64 controller for the design are very obviously younger kids who didn't use it when it was new and compare it to completely modern controllers as if Nintendo had future sight and chose to make it bad anyway. But that's just me being autistic.

seems kind of lame but if they get the analog stick as stiff as it was for the N64 I'll be impressed.

Looks like they just did a 3d render and think they're capable of making a physical product. Watch the analog sensitivity on the stick be terrible compared to how the games read the real stick.

>>386884815
There never was a game that was in need of L R Z at the same time or any game that required the C Buttons while also using the analogstick and d-pad at the same fucking moment.
I really liked the N64 controller. Only idiots tried to use the analogstick and grabing it on both sides. Same goes for these retards that used their finger+thumb to basically hold the analogstick.

>>386883953
The only bad thing about the N64 controller is the uncomfortable as fuck plastic joystick.

This is going to be another N64 analog stick "solution" that completely fucks the precision isn't it?

Third party sticks that make the analog stick shaped like a gamecube one are notorious for being inaccurate and causing a lot of read points on the stick to be lost which makes characters jump between walking and running too quickly instead of it being seamless.

>>386884815
I don't understand why they moved the 2 most important buttons into a spot that makes them harder to use.

I don't understand the "I need to shift between the analog stick and dpad constantly" meme because games weren't built with that in mind.

I don't understand why you would remove the ability to use the Dpad and analog stick at the same time because some games actually let you do that

>>386884815

the best two features about the N64 controller are absent here (proper Z-trigger + d-pad quality)

>>386883953
Sneed designed the controller and Chuck manufactured it.

>>386883953
>not just holding it like a normal controller


I'm guessing OP and the guy who started this have small Trump hands

>>386884815
Quit shilling this kikestarter so fucking hard. The N64 controller was built around first party support, which are the only games you should bother playing for the N64 anyways. It's not even that hard of a controller to understand. Seriously anyone that complains about this is a fucking pleb I don't care what controller you use I'll stilll wipe the floor with you in original smash using the controller intended for the game.

>>386886040

>>386884815
100% of the people who say this kind of stupid shit are kiddos who are too young for the console and have barely played it.
The reason the d-pad is where it is is because when the N64 was developed nobody knew whether analog sticks were going to suck shit or not, or whether 3rd parties would want to use them, so they created a controller that could do both without them interfering with each other.
You were never intended to use the d-pad and stick together.
There's a reason there's literally no game on the N64 where this is even a minor issue.

>>386887332
>You were never intended to use the d-pad and stick together.
You are wrong. You can hold the left and center wings to use both the d-pad and joystick. The Ekans game in Pokemon Stadium uses that position.

>>386884815
The way games were developed, the 3 leg system worked. Games that used the L button and D-pad didn't use the Z button or analog stick. Games that used the stick and Z button didn't use the L button and D-pad. It was still an awkward controller but it worked for every game on the system.

The stick is a problem, to be sure, but it's extremely easy to buy and install a new stick. A lot of less tech-minded people likely just reacted too quickly and tossed them when the stick broke but all it takes is a tri-wing screwdriver to open the thing and then you just unplug the stick and swap it. No soldering or figuring out board layout. Not to mention, it's a good idea anyway as you can get GameCube style sticks which are much smoother and made with the rubber padding. I did that to both of my old controllers and they're so much nicer to play with than the old plastic sticks.

Anyway, you're still not wrong. It was still a very awkward controller. If you held it properly for the buttons you needed to access (which is something that an alarming amount of people still don't understand I guess), it was comfortable enough and functioned well, but it was still a weird beast that didn't need to be designed like that. If you didn't like the old controller, then yeah, this product could have value to you. If not, then you can just keep using the old controller.

I'm honestly kinda curious about the thing and it might be fun to own but I won't back the KS as products like these are especially vulnerable to scams. If you don't have a physical prototype or some show of progress prior to the campaign, I'm not going to touch it. They also don't have a proven history of success so they're basically an unknown. If it comes out and I see one for a reasonable price, then sure, I'll pick one up to give it a try. Kinda weird that they didn't use the octo gate on the stick though.

>>386887779
With different hands. The point is that you weren't meant to use the control stick and d-pad with the same hand. For those odd games that use the left hand for the pad and the right hand for the stick, standardized re-designs like the one in the OP are actually a hindrance.

>>386887927
To be fair to them, there is a "prototype" on the page. It's just kind of very clearly a piece of plastic that isn't actually an N64 controller and has no markings.

>>386883953
this is literally just a recolored xbox hueg controller

>>386887332
I mean, Ocarina of Time uses the L button for the map so you do have to move one of your hands to hit it.

>>386884583
People really really hate the old n64 controller design and I don't blame them. It took a lot to get used to back in the day and it's a hard to go back to when you're used to modern controller design.

>>386886040

I lol'd so hard at my bro when he went and bought this thing. I told him he could never use my 3 prong controller ever again. Then one night, I booted up NBA hangtime and tried his controller out....I paid him for the damn thing and I never used a 3 prong from that point on.

I don't get why they made it have two Z buttons

Having two R buttons makes more sense
This way L+R and Z+R would always be parallel

>>386883953
Because the original controller was shit.
I don't get it either why anyone would want this product, other than for more durable analog stick. All games worked around the limitations of the controller, mostly ditching d-pad in favor of analog stick.
What games actually use D-pad anyway? Does it even have to exists?

>>386890643
so you can shoot with your left hand as it was originally, or shoot with your right hand like everyone is used to now

>>386885669
>Only idiots tried to use the analogstick and grabing it on both sides.

Only children who grew up on dual-stick controllers who went back to try to play on an N64 at their friends' parent's house ever had that problem. It was very obvious to every single person at the time how to hold the controller. Hold it on the side for 2D games, hold it in the middle for 3D games. It was even in all the commercials and magazine ads, it's not possible to think you'd need to stretch your thumb from the dpad to the analog stick unless you were 10+ years removed from the lifetime of the console like these retard teenagers on twitter.

>>386889459
>Ocarina of Time uses the L button for the map

Oh, okay. Pointless, then. Why would you turn off the minimap?

The circle gate is a retarded design. Most N64 games worked better with the controller's octagonal gate.

Come to think of it, how were you supposed to use goldeneye's double controller layouts since they also required you to press buttons? I remember seeing them as a key in control settings but I never actually tried them.

Where can I get a first party N64 controller with an unfucked control stick?

All the 3rd party ones are shit that break in 2 days

>>386893067
look for good vintage stores. got one near me selling used ones just need to sort through and find one not fucked

>>386884815
Alright.
Now where's the other analog stick?

>>386883953
Original N64 controller had 2 legs and a penis, and people didn't like it much.

>>386893354
Have you ever emulated N64?
C buttons do not equate to camera stick. They work exactly like buttons and act like buttons. Some games don't even use it for camera and instead use it for more buttons. Having a C-stick for any N64 game is a detriment

>>386892982
it means that a controller with a layout closer to that of the gamecube controller will attract more autistic melee and sm4sh players

>>386893915
Where's the second analog stick to play Perfect Dark?

I see a few problems with it...

The A and B buttons seem to be in an awkward spot
The stick doesn't have the diagonal ridges, so I can't imagine free movement being super comfortable
Turbo button, even if it is useful, makes any third party controller seem cheap and unofficial

>>386883953
People really hate the original controller, even if no game benefits from a redesign.
I get the feeling people magically expect N64 games to work like more modern ones with this controller, no idea why.

I am actually pretty interested in it simply because the original controllers weren't well known for their long lifespans.
And there doesn't seem to be a good reproduction that is as cheap as that might be.

Cartridges are already one step in the grave before they stop working with the console not far behind. What games are people planning to play with this thing? If your emulating just use literally any halfway decent controller with remapped buttons.

>>386893059

With the controller in your right hand your thumb can reach the A and B buttons and one of the Z buttons takes the function of the R button.

>>386894126
Why wouldn't you want people playing Smash 64? Barely anybody plays that game anymore.

Barely any n64 games used the dpad anyway. I don't see what the big deal is

>>386895297

oh no, you're right, it is dying and I do want more people playing it
I just don't want melee and sm4sh "stinky time" players anywhere near it

>>386883953
There are kids who never played the N64, and so think that they can "improve" the design by making a shitty 360 controller with a N64 adapter. I certainly would never put money down for such a thing without trying it out myself, but then again, I don't have much use for a controller which only works on the N64.

How the fuck are you going to control games which used the d-pad plus control stick, anyways?

>>386893059
You have to reach for the A and B buttons with your thumb. It's pretty shitty. Plus analog movement doesn't feel good at all in those games.

>>386895360
my fucking atari games still work faggot
clean the connectors with 99% rubbing alcohol and q tips and theyre good as new

>>386895381
Hmm come to think of it probably would be easy to reach the A B buttons on the right hand. I really don't know why I never tried it as a kid since I did have multiple controllers for splitscreen. Rare did make an interesting workaround to use 2 analog sticks with this system and this is even in a time before 2 analog sticks became the norm on controllers.

>>386883953
looks fucking fantastic but I wish they would switch the c-button position with the A B buttons.

The company is legit, they made a NES controller you can buy on amazon and at walmart. My guess is they are reusing the molds to make these, that way they cut down on costs and have a way to profit off the old molds.

I can't be the only one who held it by the left prong even when using the analog stick right?

Never really had any issues with the N64 controller; it's even particularly bad considering the Dreamcast, Xbox and PS1 all had fucking atrocious controllers on launch

>>386895498
>>386895862
Discs have disc rot. Cartridges have batteries that eventually die. Sure you can replace them but they eventually ware down with intensive use. Of course if your autistic about old game stuff it it will last a lot longer than the average that's slowly collecting mold in someone's basement before getting flipped or out in the open soaking up weed smoke in a retro game store. The arguably better way to play retro games is emulation, your only delaying the inevitable trying to hold on to your """authentic"" experience.

Games that use batteries for SRAM can easily be replaced, the functionality to save is only temporarily lost in these cases.

Why do you need the octagonal gate? On my N64 I rarely push it all the way so that it lines up with the gate on the plastic anyway.

>>386901859
kek

>>386901907
I'm not dissing the controller but dude acting like he's got manly man hands for comfortably using a controller that was definitely designed with 5 years old in mind is dumb as hell

>>386901940
he didnt say unplayable he said proper aiming
stop making shit up faggot

>and now playing Perfect Dark with proper aiming is impossible

OH REALLY
"PROPER AIMING" IS IMPOSSIBLE NOW

PHEW BOYYY

Guess that's not "unplayable!"

Guess he's not a retard who claimed the alternate aiming control scheme not being able to be used makes aiming in the game IMPOSSIBLE now.

>>386901687
It could. Such controllers exist i believe
Wouldn't be hard.

>>386902040
sucks for you i guess l love it. i dont exactly have small hands either

>>386902401
I have given women multiple orgasms

>>386902252
God dammit
I hope this stick works then.

>>386902029
>Why do you need the octagonal gate?
Because nearly all of the games on N64 were developed with the octagonal gate in mind.

>>386902501
i.is that you???

>>386901534
I've since stuck with a full roster of hori mini pads because of the required upkeep necessary to keep a 1st party N64 control stick in proper working order. Opening the controller up every few months to grease the stick housing so it doesn't grind itself to dust is IMO a little tedious.

>>386884191

Why would N64 need two sticks? Literally no game would use it. I absolutely want this controller and am actually going to back this. The Hori Minipad, which I paid $80 for on Ebay, proved to be a big disappointment. Very uncomfortable to hold and the joystick made a lot of games unplayable. Not happy about buying into it. Might resell it.

>young
The fuck are you on about he said only kids who grew up using modern controllers don't like it because they compare it to modern controllers, am I fucking missing something?

>>386902670
It's funny that's an outside picture because it looks like a fucking rake.

>>386885758
I love the grindy, weighty feel of the N64 stick. All mine have worn out though, and the third party controllers all have a a sticky stick and shitty unresponsive c buttons.

I bought one of those smooth style replacement analogs and it's OK but I'd really like to get the original feel back.

Why not play the PC remasters?

>>386897654
This looks great, does it have the same "weigh" to it?

Can someone explain to me how the fuck you can have a whole thread of people praising the n64 controller, is /v/ that really contrarian?

The question is, what will the precision on the stick be?

The N64 stick actually had the most points of precision of any controller ever. Like ever. Even today. It's made really obvious when you play games like Banjo Kazooie on XBLA in particular where the 360 controller stick's precision sucks shit for the FPS portions. Most people just don't know this because usually they fucked their control sticks into hell with Mario party.

If the new stick is shit it'll ruin a lot of games like Smash

So this is for the original console correct?

Otherwise you could just use some modern controller for emulators or something.

>>386903826
The n64 stick is the only that actually feels analog. All the other controller's sticks may as well be digital since trying to keep it half way is a pain.

>>386903826
>Most people just don't know this because usually they fucked their control sticks into hell with Mario party.
holy shit that's what happened to me.

>>386903779
Its what happens when you encounter people who have actually used one, instead of following memes.

>>386903539
In order to properly maintain your n64 control sticks you have to open the stick housing and spray some lubricant, preferably white lithium grease, in it every 6 months or so. If you've already worn down the housing to the point where the stick is loose there are ways to "rebuild" it but that's a whole other load of work.

>>386904208
I have fucking used one its shit, you really just have to look at the fucking thing. "oh its fine no game needs you to use all the buttons" ya because they were being made for a console that it was impossible to do it with because of the fucking controller!

Can someone explain to me why it's an NES controller with 2 analog sticks?

>>386904637
There's no good reason for a game to use more buttons than the middle and right prong require.

>>386904797
how about the fact the stick disintegrates, if I go into by basement right now and turn on my gamecube guess what? I can still play it because the stick still functions

>>386905008
I've had the same clear purple and gray controllers since 1999 and my sticks are fine.

>>386905117
Then you're one of the lucky ones my friend has about 5 controllers about only 1 of them still has a decent stick, you and I both know that it was a massive problem with they system just scroll up

>>386905008
too bad the gc controller sucks ass.

>>386895360
You're underage or retarded. My snes games all still work.

>>386905294
Way fucking better than the n64 at least the GC looks like it was made with human hands in mind

>>386898343
Like the PS2 (b-buh works on my machine) N64 emulation is a clusterfuck.

The 1 obstacle to N64 enjoyment is the analog stick that wears down. It feels incredible new though, so accurate.

>>386905523
baby-human hands

>>386905672
as if theres some huge difference in the button distance on the GC compared to the n64, look I'm not saying the GC controller is the best controller ever made thats obviously the xbox one but its still better than n64 thats my point

>>386903779
The N64 was the shit for me growing up. I never had a problem with the controller, and even the Playstation Bros picked it up easily when they would come over. This meme doesn't even make sense. It wasn't until a few years ago I started hearing about the 3 hands shit.

>thats obviously the xbox one

>>386906085
the problem is that the handle is too small, the bit with the c-stick and d-pad actually stops the back fingers and makes holding it super uncomfortable. The z button is also trash, but that's a small problem.

>>386884815
I never recall needing to "change legs" on the N64. I don't think any game even supported both the D-pad and control stick at the same time, and certainly none asked you to switch between them or somehow use both at once.

>>386906486
It's the best controller prove me wrong

>>386906882
The only ones I can remember that even used both the stick and dpad were the Turok games(1 used it to toggle walking/running, and 2 had stuff like scoping and switching ammo types mapped to it) and Rainbow Six for unlocking doors.

>>386903779
Yeah its nostalgiafags who can't except that no one cares for there outdated controller.

>>386907425

>>386907354
Huh. I stand corrected. Still, those were one-and-done presses, right? The game didn't expect you to hold up on the D-pad while walking around with the control stick and shooting with A or something, right?

>>386907759
Yeah they were one-and-done, but IIRC in Rainbow Six you did have to hold it, but it's not like you're doing anything that needs the stick when unlocking doors.
Besides why would you play Rainbow Six on the N64?

>>386903779
Thing is, as odd as it seems when you first look at it, it's actually really easy to use. There's extra buttons, yeah, but once you understand that they aren't used for much it's an intuitively designed piece.

It's an ugly piece of shit, but it's not an unwieldy piece of shit.

>>386905008
The N64 controller has some of the best sticks. Unfortunately they do wear out.
The rest of the controller is fine though.

>>386904716
If it had 2 plugs on it, it would be a cool smash TV controller

The thing is, the n64 controller was more or less put out there without a sure confidence it would work. The whole thing was an experiment in 3d design+analog control, so it was split up with two different left handles. If the joystick failed, they had an out to use the D-pad. I doubt Nintendo saw any developers using both, or they would have found a way to add them both to the controller, like Sega and Sony did after they saw its usefulness and began to improve upon it.

In many ways, the controller was a prototype in design. So why copy it? I mean, controllers have in every way improved upon the things it innovated.
