The pro move would have been to launch the n64 without an analogue stick on the controller and then sell an updated controller six months later.

The N64 controller looks a little wonky but I don't feel the need to complain about the design twenty-something years later because nobody ever shoved one up my rear end in a drunken rage or whatever lovely thing happened to you people

N64 seems like the easiest controller to shove up an rear end until the Wii came out. The Saturn 3D controller or the Xbox duke would be the worst unless we count the GameCube chainsaw controller

Top ten controllers to shove up your rear end is not what I thought I'd be musing on today but the options are surprisingly robust.

The Gamecube controller has some nicely tapered handles, that could be a decent time if you were so inclined

I think Teleroboxer may have. Also there's a Lovecraft game that basically used it for aiming in combat, which arguably makes it the earliest twin-stick first person shooter.

Also you can do the postgame before the endgame, but shouldn’t. I got a scratch on my disc that prevented me from going to the final content, and instead ground myself up to face the various superbosses. When I finally got hold of a replacement, I killed the final boss in one hit. The power curve in FFX is weird.

Is it really post game if the game ends once the credit roll and doesn't let you load it back up to tie up odds and ends?

My neighbor growing up had one.

Blue Thunder and AvP were decent titles. Everything else sucked.

He insisted it was better than the PS1 and just lol at being a console warrior in general, but especially on behalf of the jaguar.

FFX is pretty great, but how long does it keep you in tutorial mode? I'm just leaving Besaid and I'm still getting what feels to be fixed fights. Also I noticed a bunch of chests in some trees, I don't think I can get them. I hope to come back because I suddenly ended the thing in the chapel and I feel like I missed something.

I'm pretty sure I've had more cutscenes than game which is fine because I'm enjoying them. The voice-acting is good, the writing is pretty bad, but I am really curious to know what's going on. It's pretty cool how this feels like a natural progression from 6 through 9.

dpad is an importnat part of 3d games for extra buttons so not really

Ok I've designed the perfect controller

Three analog sticks, three triggers, three bumpers, two d pads, and c buttons. Middle and left triggers, bumpers and d pad are mirrors of each other, but the middle can be right hand if you have a game where you want someone to grip the left and middle.

I also replaced start with + and - and added a home and capture button.

That's wild. I'm also pleased this game goes the FF6 and FF9 route of "explicit" character classes, or at least it seems to me each character with the standard sphere grid is supposed to be something in particular.
