    On the contrary, I played GoldenEye for the first time last year and I was amazed at how well it controlled with that ridiculous controller!

      I implore everybody to play the classic GoldenEye with dual controller setup in the menu so you can do twin stick shooting controls. If you use an emulator, you can bind two controllers to one controller and play GoldenEye in a way you’ve never played it before.

      The combination of the animations and precision aiming with the twin stick shooting turns you into a demon. It’s so cinematic to quickly strafe a corner and then unload your gun just like into a horde of enemies and see them all fucking jump in different directions as they die as you spray your gun left and right standing still like you’re fucking Scarface it’s perfect.

        You can even play it with modern controls on NSO if you set up the controls both in the game and the Switch itself right.

        I do! I play shooters from every era. Using the d-pad for movement isn’t too dissimilar from WASD movement IMO, and the joystick for aiming is standard. I thought it worked quite well.

            You mean this? It’s a Swedish release, can’t find the year, but it has over 1 Mb of graphics and animations!

            I’ve played the OG Duke a little bit on modern PC, but otherwise I don’t have much experience with it.
