Two Pronged N64 Controllers

  • The Nintendo 64 controller is well known for having a signature 3-pronged design. Nowadays, there are companies like Retro Fighters and Hyperkin that make versions of the N64 controller with a modernized redesign (i.e. 2-pronged design). But, did you know there are actually a few companies that made 2-pronged N64 controllers back while the N64 was still on store shelves? In this video, I take a look at 3 of these examples and give my opinion on them.
    0:00 - Introduction
    0:52 - Performance MakoPad 64/Super Pad 64
    2:33 - HORI Mini Pad
    3:50 - Nyko Alpha 64

    Music used:

    I really enjoyed this video. I love seeing people talk about strange and unique controllers that I don't see very often. This is why the Brawler 64 and the Tribute 64 controllers are excellent alternatives to the traditional N64 layout. I love the original N64 controller but the other two I just mentioned are great modernized takes on the concept.

    Having the two analog sticks would be cool if say one analog stick showed up as the d-pad or the yellow buttons depending upon what the other analog stick was doing.

  • @RegalPixelKing
    @RegalPixelKing Před 6 měsíci +1

    Honestly the best thing about the N64 controller or at least most N64 games is that it made the D-Pad and L button were useless. Cuz if you hold the controller the way you are supposed to, which is by the middle and right side, it was a very functional controller.
    Really you could cut off the left side of the N64 controller for the amount of times that either of those functions were useful for 95% of games.
    The one and only time that I remember using the L button was to better center the camera in Harvest Moon 64. And the only time I used the D-Pad was for movement in RE2. Other than that I don't remember using either of those functions of the controller for any other game on the N64.

    • @SodaCanTablet
      @SodaCanTablet  Před 6 měsíci

      That's actually a really good point. Splitting the controller up like that probably forced players to get used to the analog stick instead of sticking with the D-Pad. I remember using the D-Pad for movement in Kirby 64 and Mischief Makers, but those are 2D side scrollers so that makes sense. As for 3D games, I think most did use the analog stick for movement, but there were games like GoldenEye and I believe Perfect Dark also used the same control scheme that let you use the D-Pad for moving and the analog stick for looking. There was also the occasional 3D game like Turok that used the D-Pad for non-movement controls (In this case to toggle on/off running). Seems to be that 3D platformers used analog stick for movement and face buttons for actions, and 3D shooters included a more modern control scheme that used the D-Pad for movement and analog stick for looking.

  • @James101
    @James101 Před 9 měsíci +3

    Great first video. I owned a few of those and then just got rid of them as they were rubbish. I liked the original n64 controller. Back then the analogue stick was too large in depth to have it on the left of the controller and also the legendary status of the snes controller layout forced Nintendo to keep the snes design to some degree for 2d games incase the 3d games did not take off. Nintendo put huge amounts of effort into the controls of Super Mario 64 as they were so worried the jump to 3d would prove too much, hence the design. If you watch early gamers checking out SM64 at the trade shows you can see the serious lack of ability of most players to control mario, but they soon learnt the controls as the stick was so precise.

    • @SodaCanTablet
      @SodaCanTablet  Před 9 měsíci

      Thank you! I didn't think about the depth of the analog stick making it harder to implement and making the design similar to the SNES controller but that totally makes sense. I'll have to look up the footage of the early Mario 64 demos. That sounds super interesting.

      Great comment. I remember people complaining about the controller when the N64 came out since it didn't look like anything else, but it was very good after a few minutes of play. Even at the time I thought people complaining about the N64 controller weren't trying very hard. This was years before the analog sticks would get tired and janky.

    I know there have been N64 controller mods where people have joined two controllers together into one shell, so that you can use it as a dual stick controller for Star Wars: Episode 1 Racer, or in GoldenEye; but I'm honestly surprised that none of the companies who have produced modern 2-prong controllers like the Brawler64 haven't made a dual analog stick model to B take advantage of the mode in those games.

    • @SodaCanTablet
      @SodaCanTablet  Před 5 měsíci

    The problem with the n64 controller is the analog stick would loosen overtime to where it wouldnt work. The 3 prong design you can get used to but when the main movement stick would stop centering, you had to get a new one.

    @kenh6096 Před 2 měsíci

    I never understood why people felt they needed a different layout as the none standard ones generally were compromise in some way. Try dual wheeling them or using dpad and stick at the same time and you start getting real issues with most. The games on the N64 were designed for it's unique layout so I guess it's not surprising that others give issues.

    • @SodaCanTablet
      @SodaCanTablet  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Yeah I agree. It's like if you were trying to play Guitar Hero with a racing wheel. The games are designed with the controller in mind, so all N64 games should be fine with the oem layout.

    I actually have a Hori Mini, and it’s by far the best authentic 64 controller from that era. My main gripe comes down to personal preference, which is that the thumbstick doesn’t have enough tension. The extremely similar GameCube controller has a lot more resistance, which is what I was expecting. Also, the d-pad on mine slides around a bit like the cutout is too large for it. It was gifted to me by a friend over a decade ago, and I think the price has actually come down a little since then. Still, in 2024 I think most people should probably go with the Retro Fighters Brawler 64, unless having a truly retro experience is that important.

    • @SodaCanTablet
      @SodaCanTablet  Před 5 měsíci

      Ah yeah that's a good point I agree with. It feels like it takes half as much force to move the stick. I agree with the Brawler 64 being good for most people as well. I have 2 myself and love it. I'd love to get a Tribute 64 one day since that's modeled after the HORI Mini and see how they compare.

  • @Trololo231

    I wish that companies making controllers nowadays (like retrofighters) would replicate the Alpha's design, it looks great for Goldeneye and Perfect Dark using tbe d-pad to walk and right analog to look around. I know people would want to use both analogues like modern controllers, but it's still better than only one analogue in the retrofighters control

      That's a good idea I haven't thought about. I don't have a Switch, but I remember a lot of people complaining about the button mapping for some of the N64 ports. Like how whenever you have to play the Ocarina on OoT, it's a bit weird. Using this controller would probably solve that problem since it has the N64 style face button layout with the 6 buttons in addition to the second analog stick. Hope you enjoyed the video!

      Which SuperPad? Hahaha jokes aside though, I don't really like how it feels because each of the directions are slightly longer than the OEM d-pad. When I play fighting games on pad, I tend to slide my thumb on the far edges of the d-pad instead of in the middle, so the longer directions make this type of play style a bit less comfortable. If you tend to just rock the d-pad from the center, you shouldn't have an issue with it though.

      Yeah, but then it'd be hard to press the remaining buttons. Like for Goldeneye, you have to reach your thumb over to press the A and B buttons if you're playing with the Solitaire control scheme. Another example is if you're playing Turok, the run button is the d-pad and you have to sort of reach up to press that. Not too big of a deal honestly but it can be inconvenient.
