Background and Identification
The Nintendo 64 gaming console was released in the United States in September 1996. Named for its 64-bit CPU, the Nintendo 64, also known as the N64, was the last desktop video console to use cartridges. The console was hugely successful, and sold approximately 32.93 million units. It was discontinued in 2001 to make room for the launch of the GameCube.
The controller for the Nintedo 64 has an M-shape design. There are seven buttons: six on the top of the controller and one trigger button of the back of the controller. It also has a plus sign-shaped directional pad. The Nintendo 64 controller was one of the first game controllers to introduce an analog control stick, which can detect motion in 360 degrees. This gives the player more mobility and camera control. This controller is also unique because it can be used in three different configurations, or grips. The way a player holds the controller depends on the game that they are playing. Not all of the buttons are used in any one game- for example, the D-pad, L-shoulder, analog stick and Z-trigger cannot all be used at the same time. Games were developed to use only buttons that a player could easily access while holding the controller n a certain way. This was controversial, but didn’t hinder the overall success of the console.
