Nintendo 64 controller: Difference between revisions

The '''Nintendo 64 controller''' is the default [[controller]] for the [[Nintendo 64]]. It is used to play ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' The controller has a unique three pronged M-shape, as [[Nintendo]] did not know if the use of analog sticks would become widespread and covered their bases by making the controller comfortable to hold in multiple ways. A majority of the Nintendo 64's games require players to grip their left hand on the middle handle and their right hand on the right handle, including ''Super Smash Bros.'' Some games, however, did allow players to hold the controller's left and right prongs to control the game, such as ''Dr. Mario 64'' and ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards''. The third option is to hold the left handle with the left hand and the middle handle with the right hand, although the only game where players held the controller this way was the Ekans Hoop Hurl minigame in ''Pokémon Stadium''. {{uv|Sin and Punishment}} considered using this option, but abandoned the idea out of fear of alienating players.
