Let's take a moment to remember the time period when everyone had to adjust to using dual-joysticks on controllers. (infosec.pub)

I grew up on n64 and I don't recall having any issue with jumping to dual joy sticks. Like it was so natural... I probably had a week of adjustment that I just don't remember.

nahh i remember the struggle going from armored core with the shoulder buttons to the 2nd joystick. it was real, and the struggle wasn't all the players. the devs really didn't seem to get it.

nothing to do with the n64 other than i was there in the trenches with ya
