Comment on Let's take a moment to remember the time period when everyone had to adjust to using dual-joysticks on controllers.

  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.

    Have you played it on Primehack? Among other fixes it gives it modern dual-stick controls.

      No, I haven’t tried that. How is it? As awkward as those controls were, they also feel like a core part of the game, so I’m feeling oddly both attracted and repulsed by the idea. But I’ll look into it, thanks for making me aware if it!

        I never played the original on GameCube but I did all three on Primehack on the Steam Deck and it seemed to work pretty well. It took a bit of tinkering to get it working, but it was definitely worth it. Happy to assist if you have any questions!

  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)
