@PalmerLuckey So cool
For example, the V2 LodgeNet controller Nintendo shipped to hotels until December 31st of 2012 used a new stick design with an equilateral gate and 1:1 input. The original N64 (and LodgeNet V1) used a geared encoder that resulted in exaggerated values in certain directions, hence the squashed octagon gate. We are including both gates with every controller so people can play however they want, and will also allow people to switch the software translation side between the proper 1:1 Nintendo wanted or the skewed input that so many people grew up with!
Fun fact: The final and fully-perfected version of the Nintendo 64 hardware was the LodgeNet 64, a system that allowed hotels to rent out N64s by the minute, straight to your room! The ModRetro M64 and M64 Pro controller include hardware and software options based on LodgeNet! https://x.com/PalmerLuckey/status/2076157323962449957/photo/1
