Am I the ONLY person who's NEVER had a problem with the N64 controller? I really don't see why people say it's a bad controller.

There is one problem with the N64 controller, and that is friction-burning straight through your palm like Jesus to win at Mario Party.

Fun fact: I NEVER used the middle grip. I always held it on the sides for every game.

My preteen left thumb was so sore from the stretching to reach the stick

Only problem with it at the time was the poor quality of the sticks. Theyd just like disintegrate after awhile.

I never had a problem with it, at least not back when the N64 was actually my main console.

Looking back, the controller definitely is ridiculous, even if it worked for what Nintendo was going for with its design.

I never had any issues with it. At the same time, I have giant hands, so Id always hold the controller the same way, and just position my thumb over either the d-pad or analog, whichever was required. Like this:

My only issue was that the joystick always got floppy.

And what the hell was that white powder that always formed on it?!

According to an old Game Informer magazine I had years ago, it was Pika-dust that Pikachu sprinkled in every N64 controller. >_>

...But seriously, it was the plastic of the stick wearing off of it due to repeated use.

This. It's perfectly usable and pretty okay for what it is, but it very much sticks out as the like, missing-link of controllers lol.

Just a bunch of younger people shitting on it unnecessarily nowadays.

It was fine compared to the ps1 OG controller with no sticks at all but its clearly inferior to a dual stick controller.

I remember playing goldeneye on the n64 controller and thinking "wow this is fun" then I got into PC gaming and played Half Life + it's mods (Counter Strike, Team Fortress, the golden age of modding) and I instantly knew the 64 controller was trash compared to the mouse and keyboard.

Later I played with console dual stick controllers and was able to make it work. But the silliness of that controller cannot be understated for certain genres. Holy the shoulder button and stand perfectly still if you want to aim a shot.
