Read my edited post. Look at your N64 controllers. If you think that that's going to work for those games you're crazy.
Oh, and I forgot to mention button labels! So will all N64 games have to be redesigned to get rid of all those places where buttons are identified by color (blue, green, red, and yellow)? Yup. Will that hurt the games? Yup. The buttons don't have colors anymore, so such simple identification is much harder. Will all games be able to be given acceptable control schemes? Nope. (just go play OoT on N64 and try to pretend that it's got anything on the N64 controller's version!) Are shoulder buttons a good replacement for the N64's innovative and fantastic Z button? Nope, not even close. Is the PSX-style 'dpad above' design better for N64 or current-gen console ports? No!
Really, this is absurd... a competent, but not good, current-gen or SNES controller (one that I would have all of these complaints about, but because games would be designed FOR it, would be able to accept in the end), but when you consider that the main use of this thing is supposedly for the Virtual Console... what the heck were they thinking?
