A few years back I was at a bar and they had golden eye on an N 64. Man the controls were hot garbage.

You can change it so the joystick aims, and you move with the yellow buttons...I think. Either that or the d-pad.

But even better? You can use TWO N64 controllers at the same time, one in each hand, for dual joystick controls. I didn't even realize that was an option until I saw it in the Switch Online Emulator

Oh, I do recall hearing that recently I think. I would love to try that. How do the other buttons work? Do you shoot twice as fast with 2 triggers? (/S haha....unless it's true)

But because there wasn't anything better to compare it to, it didn't feel that bad.

Metroid Prime transcended its crappy controls. Like one of the worst control schemes but still one of my all time favorites.
