Looks good, however if you listen towards the end, you will hear that the standard controller that you use will be sold separately.

Why would they put the Z button on the right shoulder? There are plenty of N64 games that use both Z and R (in OoT you often have to hold down both buttons at one in a battle), but I don't know any which use Z and L.

You could manage to hold Z and R on one shoulder, just swing your middle finger around.

Koga · 05-12-2006, 03:47 PM

Doesn't look very comfortable. It's not like they're on top of each other like Z and R on the GameCube controller. I do use my middle finger for the Z button in games like Mario Kart.

Still, even if it's possible it would've been much more logical to put it on the left side, as that's where Z originally was.

Bah. I have the original console and the games; playing that is better.

GRENTLEMEN · 05-13-2006, 03:37 AM

I like the controller. And Koga - you just reach over it and press the Z with the tip of your finger, and use the next joint or whatever to press the R.

Koga · 05-13-2006, 04:16 AM

Yeah, I know it's not impossible, but it just doesn't seem logical to me.

***CaptHayfever*** · 05-14-2006, 02:05 PM

Or just use L instead of Z.

Is anyone else having trouble with IGN today?

By the way Koga, I watched the video now (it wasn't working earlier) and I see what you mean. AI's solution is best, just extend your pointer finger. They're not that far away from each other.

Koga · 05-14-2006, 04:10 PM

I think CH's solution is the best one so far.
