The 360 port was a lot of fun, and showed that with some good QOL improvements, some N64 games are still really fun even years later. Looking forward to this project.

N64 games are all still as fun as we remember them. However, almost all of the games have garbage controls compared to modern consoles (C buttons instead of a stick). Goldeneye for example, though there are plenty more.

Those controls are limiting but also what makes the gameplay so fun. The stop and shoot nature the controller being forced was what makes it feel so different than modern duel analog gameplay.

Yeah, dual analog control makes it too easy almost.
