    I’m not a Nintendo console owner currently, but our GameCube broke when I was younger and my dad called Nintendo support when it was several years out of warranty. They replaced it free of charge, they basically ensured I’d continue being a gamer growing up, and it’s just amazing to think that a company was that willing to help its customers out. I’ll honestly never forget that. Thought I’d share a cool little story from my childhood.

They weren't able to fix it but they asked if we wanted to buy a refurbished GameCube and 2 video games for 45 bucks, so that we weren't left completely empty handed.

    The reason why the N64 had such a weird controller and a trigger on the middle handle was because they wanted you to be able to choose between using a D-pad, (By holding it normally), or using the Analog Stick, (By holding the middle and right handle). Hope this helps you understand the weird N64 controller design.

    • @shaun8062
      @shaun8062 3 місяці тому

      You know what's cool? You can actually play all of N64's best first person shooter games using the D-pad for strafing and movement while using your right hand in the middle for aiming and shooting, more similarly to how hand assignments are used in modern first person shooters like call of duty. Some early literature from nintendo even suggested using the d-pad for first person shooters. No one back then seemed to do it though, as they assumed the yellow c-buttons were the way, which was fine, but those buttons make it hard for anyone to go back to play goldeneye today. When I show them you can use the D-pad, kids pick it right up like any other dual controls on first person shooters (phone games, playstation, xbox etc.)

    • @Scooper-xg3vs
      @Scooper-xg3vs 6 днів тому

      Yeah what he said you are supposed to hold in the middle handle with the joy stick it's how you control Mario in Super Mario 64 In other handle with the D-pad it's supposed to control other games that aren't using the joy stick so you where playing this controller like a modern Nintendo Pro controller, PS controller, and Xbox controller so pls don't play the controller like that.

    I would like to mention that you weren’t entirely holding the N64 controller right for Mario 64: it’s a lot more comfortable if you put your left hand on the middle prong. That gives you direct access to the Z trigger and the joystick without stretching your hand, and the D Pad isn’t used at all in Mario 64 anyway.

      Also it was weaker in raw power than the competition... but not thaaaaat weak, not like Wii vs PS3 and Xbox 360 level, but somewhat weaker than the Game cube and Xbox. This allowed the PS2 to be way cheaper (mainly in developing countries) while still sharing games with the competitors.
      The Xbox was the most powerfull, thus the most expensive, people would not choose it over the cheaper ones, the game cube and the PS2. The game cube was the one in the middle term in terms of power and price, but the mini DVDs made it harder to pirate gamnes... the PS2 was the cheaper one AND used regular DVDs, so pirating was very very easy... the console itself was cheaper and the games were almost for free in developing countries (piracy) making it the really only possible option for the average joe in huge developing countries like Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and etc.

    did nobody tell him you can hold the middle prong along with either of the other ones? excellent video BTW! I learned what the PAL version of the SNES looks like! You should also do Nintendo's handheld consoles and compare them to the home consoles.

      as someone who has owned every nintendo handheld since the game boy advance, i agree! i think nintendo was somewhat inconsistent with their home consoles starting with the n64, so more serious gamers like myself grew up with the ps2 & ps3 as opposed to the gamecube & wii (though i did have a wii growing up as well lol) - but nintendo never really had a competitor in the handheld market outside of the psp, so their handhelds carried them when their consoles flopped and hardcore gamers would get them no matter what because they always had a wide variety of quality games available (again, due to a lack of competition)

      @@kaphizmey6229 Only a few concerns there. How would he count the game and watch when each one is its own game? Also their handheld line up has a lot of half steps and revisions than home consoles do. Things like the Gameboy Color, DSi, and new 3DS seem worth including since they have games that can't be played on the previous iterations without exactly being new generations. But what about things like the Gameboy Pocket, Gameboy Advanced SP, and all the various lites and XL's. Obviously things like different colors and special editions shouldn't count, but there are a lot of different form factors that diverge from the originals of each generation.

    On most N64 games(Like Super Mario 64) you're supposed to hold the middle grip of the controller. It makes it easier to use the analog stick and you have access to the Z button which many games used.
