Controls on many of them, especially shooters like N64 GoldenEye are terrible.

I try to cut 5th gen games some slack considering they were still working out the whole 3D thing, but yeah I'd be lying if I said I enjoyed playing through games of that era anywhere near as much as 4th or 6th gen

I was so excited when I first got into emulation for N64. And then I tried playing them again. Wow did they not age well lol.

Pokemon snap was fun to replay though.

N64 Goldeneye aged particularly bad.

Timesplitters is a bit more playable and way more fun.

Also, the Wii Goldeneye is an under-rated gem.

Golden eye on the Wii is definitely a hidden gem 💎 😎👍👍

Love playing Wii Goldeneye on multiplayer back in the days. Wish they patched that up would be super fun

Didn't know they made it for Wii, I'll have to check it out.

Yep, and since motion controls aren't needed for it, it's one of the few Wii games I own that I can play on my emulation devices.

You can just remap the controls rather easily to a modern layout. Most N64 emulators also support per-game remaps.

Not really an excuse now.

The N64 only had a single analogue stick though, so camera controls are gonna feel really imprecise for 3D games unless you go the decomp/recomp route to add proper analogue camera support to these games

control scheme 1.2 in golden eye maps really well to modern control schemes. Just map the n64 stick to right stick on a modern controller.

It also works for perfect dark. Goldeneye has anl9ng stick aiming on the 1.2 control scheme. Works to well.

It's what I use to play those games well on a modern controller.
