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. Twin stick shooters perhaps?

    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.
