DmMacniel@feddit.org 7 hours agoIt was the early days of 3d gaming consoles. And as nobody knew how control schemes will develop they created this controller with three different kinds of input schemes:
- Left on left/ right on right for traditional plattformers
- Left on middle / right on right for 3d games that require that analog stick
- Left on left / right on middle … yeah I don’t know either.

Is there any game that utilized the d pad though? The d pad and the L button must have gone down in history as the most useless buttons ever put on a controller.

I at least know about Kirby 64 and Pokemon Stadium.

Some games actually had you holding the middle and left sticks (Wetrix I think?).
Also the D-pad or L button were used to taunt in Smash Bros.
