Kim_Seong-a 08/04/22 10:06:18 AM #7:	Kind of boggles my mind that Nintendo thought a controller that could be held in different orientations for 2D/3D would be better than a controller where both the D-pad and analog were accessible simultaneously. Both Sony and Sega were able to get decent analog controllers out so there's really no excuse. <_< That said it did have that niche gimmick where it worked very well for a small set of (usually first party) games but was abysmal for most everything else. --- Lusa Cfaad Taydr <cite>Kim_Seong-a posted [p:967065190] in Was the Ni...
