Providing knowledge on whats playable and whats not.

Decided to create this page because I enjoy playing all types of games with the Nintendo 64 Controller. I really enjoy it because of the challenge. Thought I'd post my findings here for anyone else thats interested.

In order for a game to be considered playable or feasable, it must meet this requirement:
- All buttons required to play or beat the game must be coded to the controller. If they cannot be coded to the controller, with the exception of a few key buttons, the game is not considered compatible with the Nintendo 64 controller.

A few extra guideines:
- The pause menu or escape menu does not need to be applied to the controller. I consider this not part of actual gameplay. (Extra menus such as crafting menus or pdas that don't pause the game do not count towards this exception and must be coded to the controller to be considered feasible)
- If the game requires pin point accuracy, such as almost every modern day shooter, it is not feasible. There are exceptions to this and I will explain why when I discover them. Some shooters are feasible some are not.

Little Nightmares 2 is compatible and plays just as well as the first!

Surprised that I ran into issues with this game. Most of it has to do with how the developers set up custom control mapping. I will get into the issues after the setup portion.

Here is the setup:

WASD Movement = Analog Stick
Camera Pan = D Pad
Call = Start
Jump/Attack/Throw = A
Grab = R
Sprint = L
Crouch/Slide = Z
FlashLight/Remote = B

Unused:
All C buttons

Plays just as nice as the first! Spare buttons means you could remap the escape menu to Start and place call on one of the C buttons.

Surprised that I ran into issues with this game. Most of it has to do with how the developers set up custom control mapping. I will get into the issues after the setup portion.

Here is the setup:

WASD Movement = Analog Stick
Action = A
Attack = B
Map = Start
Rotate Camera Left = Q
Rotate Camera Right = E
Inventory 1 to 9 = All C buttons counter clockwise starting at top. All D-pad buttons start from top counter clockwise. Z is 9.
Sprint = Left Shoulder

Unused:
None

First off, the inventory system does not have a "Next Inventory Space" button so that i could simply map 2 keys. It names the slots 1 to 10 (0). This was a huge issue. I thought I could work around it since the rest of the game remained very simple with very few buttons needing to be pressed aside from that. I was able to code 9 inventory spots which would make the game playable but there was still the issue of equipping items and switching out inventory.

Alternatively, you could map in the mouse emulation and drag and drop inventory, however, this makes the game more of a chore and I found it to be quite boring.

The reason this setup is so poor is because having to remember the inventory numbers every time you want something is very annoying and ineffient and the alternative is not much better.

I will deem the game playable just not very feasible with frustration.

As a side note, I will not be adding it to the list of games playable due to the fact that I REALLY don't think you should be trying to play it with this controller.
