I kind of miss having a three handed controller. I never know what to do with the extra now.
Prototype PS controllers were wild.
Are the buttons in #3 shaped like the 4chan logo??
They look like alternate 3D0 controllers.
And it happened again!
Ah yes, the two input options, + and O
The actual Dreamcast controller was a fucking mess, fight me about it. Such a garbage blob.
That’s a Saturn controller
My brain has an aneurysm. It totally is, but Imma pretend for the sake of the comment that it was the Dreamcast.
Good God.
Six face buttons need to make a comeback. And no the shoulder buttons or the stick clicks are not exactly the same and the d-pad as non-move buttons sucks because you have to release the left stick. I want more buttons to assign items to like in Ocarina of Time. Like Echoes of Wisdom could have used a few extra buttons to assign echoes to.
This was already real though…
im going to be sick
I’ve actually used that.
I love the concept of getting rid of the 3 prong disaster, but the past of me that gets given absolutely nuts by asymmetry gates the way it feels in my hand.
It gets partial credit for at least making it fully wield-able, but drive nothing to advantage of it (because it couldn’t since this was like .000000001% of all controllers made), the benefit was useless, and the downside hurt even more because of that.
But this one is what it should’ve been.
That actually looks cute.
Both of those make way more sense then they have any right to.
Kind of love this tbh
I mean, a timeline where Sony actually kept working together with Nintendo on the SNES add-on is kinda plausible.
But then we would have never gotten the classic that is Hotel Mario.
Probably a timeline that kills Sega before they can make a Dreamcast.
That’s the nightmare scenario, where the video game industry is controlled by one player, the Nintendo-Sony joint.
In this universe, the Rez vibrator is built into every controller.
Like this rezz?

Yea, those are great vibrations!
So hyped seeing her at rampage!
And yet people would still hold it incorrectly.
C’mon man… I need The Claw to run, jump, attack and move the camera all at once. 😩
Idk if Sony would actively make the worlds worst controller even in an alternate timeline
I would say the DualShock is worse; never liked the placement of the thumb sticks at the bottom but apparently that’s just me.
Personally I don’t see how Dualshock’s subjectively sub-optimal analog stick pla–ement compares to N64’s mess of a controller.
I don’t think either were perfect designs, they were both pioneering and can be respected for that, neither were a “mess”. At the time I personally preferred the feel of the N64’s analog stick since it was directionally biased in 8 directions which works better for games of the time, and met expectations of the time. My main problem with the DualShock is that they stuck with it while they should have, in my opinion, swapped the left stick with the d-pad for the PS2 onwards.
Personally I don’t agree regarding the dualshock, all though I play a lot more 2D games than most so I’m biased.
daaaaang. i like the dualshock 2 and 4. the 3 was garbagio
I wanna see this but with Sega ABC/XYZ buttons instead :D
It’s not like there’s no potential for a coalition of people in the fediverse to make their own console with one of the single board computers that are on the market, we’d just need games, basically.
