Other the limited space on the carts, I don't really see what was wrong with the N64. It's a thousand times better than the Wii (and likely the Wii U) to say the least.

This:



I've tried to make myself comfortable playing with this (PoS controller) but it just doesn't suit me or how the hell to hold it properly.

The "best" controller I've seen for N64 is this one:



It's still crap.

Other than the awkward controller, N64 was a pretty good console.

They were only trying to stand out.  I mean, how could you pass by a three-handled controller and not start to wonder about what it does?  Most of the games I play on the N64 don't use the D-pad, so I generally hold it as if only the middle and right handles were there.  No big deal. I also have a HORI controller that's shaped like a Gamecube controller (and has added a second Z button so they're symmetrical) which also works quite well.


Not my picture.  Mine's green, but you get the idea.

What people don't realize is that you would never use all of the buttons on the n64 controller. you either held the left and right handle, the center and right, or the left and center.
