The reason I'm playing Celeste again is that my Pro Controller arrived today. It's a decent controller, the D-pad is just… bad? When did Nintendo forget how to make a good D-pad? Good special edition though
@noiob i think the 3d/analog stick took over as the star of the show and the d-pad suffered ever since, to varying degrees
you wouldn't think it's hard to get right, yknow? but like 90% of controllers over the last 3 decades fuck it up
a few good ones include sega genesis six-button (better than saturn imo!) and it's not great for comfort but i find ps1 digital very useable
@gatewave the PlayStation D-pad is probably the most consistent one over the generations, Nintendo's kinda go all over the place
@gatewave the N64 D-pad is one of my favorites, funnily enough, since it's the part of the controller one uses the least
@noiob agree on that dpad - it makes zelda1 hard to play :/
@noiob splatoon controllers are so pretty
@noiob N64 or so was the first sign of major trouble.
