Quote:Maybe they'll add a couple buttons? It's not something I'm going to worry about.
How could anyone who has played many N64 games not be seriously worried...
Quote:sorry dj, but you and falcon have been crying your eyes out over this. the controller is fine. you'll adapt. stop being babies.
Now you're just proving that you're not able to seriously think about this. A one sentence post saying "I'm right" as an appropriate response to posts like ours? Sorry, but no... the controller is not fine. Saying it is won't make it one bit better.
Quote:...so how the fuck do you FIRE?
yeah, in order for N64 games to work on this thing, it will need new mapping of the buttons.... in mio, that detracts froom the retro experience. I trust nintendo, and this thing could have actual triggers on it's back we dont know about. but imagine mario 64 in your head, you're running, hey you need to do a long jump, you press and hold Z while... yeah, the whole feeling is gone.
And then of course, filed under obvious, is the likely release of retro controllers that look like stylized versions of the originals.
Well, I doubt we'll see Turok because of how Acclaim ceased to exist (unless someone owns the game libraries of companies like Acclaim and 3D0, I don't see how their lineups could show up... which would be really too bad, both of those companies released some great N64 games! (BattleTanx: Global Assualt for instance (hey, there's another game which would be completely broken trying to convert it over to this new "controller"!), or Extreme-G (another!) and Extreme-G 2 (another!), or All-Star Baseball...)
Really, they had two choices: Clone the GC controller and add in the two missing buttons again, clone the N64 controller's layout and positioning (but perhaps in a 2-prong design if they think that people don't like three, but I liked the 3 prong design...), or fail to make a controller capable of running N64 games. They chose the third option.
Quote:(I liked the c-stick on the GC pad for secondary items).
Hold the right stick left while you aim with the left stick! Yeah, that worked REAL well!
Quote:IF, and this is a major, major if. If, Goldeneye, Rage Wars or PD were on the VC, and i cant use face buttons for movement, I will kill someone. Probably myself, but maybe the president of these united states.
Maybe since Buena Vista Games owns the Turok liscence they own the rights to the older Turok games too, but maybe not, I don't know... but Rare FPSes? I don't think that'll happen.
Quote:These games are to be announced during the show and/or on the floor playable. Many do not have titles yet, but atleast know their develoers
Yeah, a good list, and it'll just get better... :)
