@susie @dick i prefer not to delve on the subject because everything pales in comparison to keyboard/mouse.

I do find it amusing that even people who have n64 and played it didn't realize that holding it "wrong" is actually the best approach and is actually supported by most FPS-type games. Sure you're missing out on A and B buttons but those are generally bound to lesser used functions like weapon swapping and you can still extend your thumb away from stick to press them, it's just less comfortable.
