Yep the N64 joystick was a pretty shoddy design choice when you look at the inards of one.The plastic grinds away over time and eventually you need to replace the whole stick unit. I think the overall design they went for with the N64 was great though and obviously is still great today hence the similarity's.Ergonimcs don't change.Pesonally I thought the gamecube pad was close to perfection (cept' that damn Z button grrr and the shoulder buttons were a bit weird too) but I never tired of pressing that huuuge A button . For me now the perfect standard pad is the 360's it just fits perfect in my hands.
I had to use the D Pad for a lot the type of games I liked on the N64 as the stick for taunting my opponents. Well now I know why my nunchuck feels so stinking comfortable in my hands the first day I got my Wii a few years ago . I always liked the N64 pad as I thought it was comfy.
Anyone still play their N64's a lot to this day ? I still play my wrestling games and Perfect Dark a lot.
