Comment on i mean

It 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.

  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.
