        Not on the GameCube tho, where button remapping involves a soldering iron or a custom PCB.

          There are quite a lot of GameCube games that let you invert the camera controls. But I’m not aware of any that would let you invert the left analog stick

      You swap the left/right controls on the controller. Or game settings.

      I have no idea if that would work but it sounds good and dammit now I wanna try it.

          I think that was Destin Sandlin from “Smarter Every Day” but yes I bet that would work. Although it might have some deleterious side effects like the inverted glasses experiment (see George Stratton and Dr. Alyssa Brewer)… nothing permanent since they were glasses that could be removed. This would be a very interesting experiment though if it hasn’t been done.

          Or being the tinkerer I am I’d probably just figure out how to rewire the control to do it. Not that that would be super easy mind you.

    As someone who’s currently rolling a nut log, this has come full circle. If only Nintendo could see me stream their games to my phone while I churn some fresh colon sausage.

      I’ve bought a kickstarter gamecube controller that’s supposed to be shipped by February. It’s basically a modern GameCube controller, usb-C, wireless, cables to put it directly into GCN/N64… the price is a little hefty but for a good controller (that hopefully lasts longer than my ps5 stick…) I’m willing to pay that.

      Here’s the link for anyone interested, but I think you can’t get any more: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nicemitch/gc-ultimate-controller-kit/

        For those that don’t care about being able to plug it into the GameCube or N64 there is also the Nyxi Wizard

    Man. I remember both using the controller and seeing that add. One of those GameInformer magazines way back when it was still around.

      Disagree. It didn’t have rumble. That reason alone is why I always stuck with the wired controllers.

      You’ve never heard of bathmats? They’re fairly common worldwide.

        Any carpet in the bathroom ends up smelling like urine, especially with little boys in the house. Heck big boys too. At least with a rug you can through it in the washing machine. Carpet not so much. My grandmother had carpet in her bathroom. And those weird soft toilet seats that eventually cracked and would pinch your backside when you sat down. Wouldn’t recommend at all.

          The house I’m in right now has 3 bathrooms and they all have carpet. It’s carpet everywhere actually.

          And I’m talking about a bath mat/rug. As clearly shown in the picture. I’m not a 100%, but I don’t think they use the kind of glued on whole floor carpet anywhere outside the US because it’s just crazy. Carpet elsewhere is just normal carpets/rugs, like sane people use.
