Why are you not grasping the obvious? I'm not trying to be mean but you're arguing something that makes no sense.
NES/SNES use the control stick or tilt as the d-pad.
The N64 controller has 12 inputs counting the stick. This proposed controller for Revolution has:
1 Tilt (4 directions of tilt could also act as C-buttons)
2 L and R
1 Start
1 Select
1 Control stick
4 face buttons
2 grip buttons
Count them, 12 inputs including the control stick and that's without counting the proposed trackball. You keep saying that this controller doesn't have enough buttons to work yet it clearly has the number of inputs needed to handle a N64 game, and if it does have a trackball, then it has even more options for inputs. So what kind of drugs are you on? Maybe I just dont understand what you're saying, so could you give me an example of a N64 game that you think wont work with this proposed controller?
