    N64 controllers with this layout always annoy me, because you can’t use them to play Goldeneye or Perfect Dark with the d-pad under your left thumb, and the analog stick under your right thumb. 1.2 Solitaire layout with the left grip on a standard controller is my preferred way to play these games.

    I wonder how these feel compared to a gamecube controller. I found the gc controller feels good in emulators for n64.

      I don’t have a proper gc controller but I do have the retrofighter gc. For perfect dark and goldeneye, the “modern” layout on the 8bitdo controller feels really odd. I was not able to get comfortable with any of the layouts. Then again, its been years since I played around on a console and not been able to tweak the individual mapping so it could just be me.

      For racing games and platformers they are great.

      I wonder if the original N64 controller would have been better served if Nintendo made more 2D games for it, or sold emulated games on it, or otherwise made more use of the d-pad.
