    It’s about playing with your friends but I also despise default sticks as an analog input lol (especially coming from a mouse).

    Either shape it to conform to my thumb like the cheapo one on the 3DS, or give me a Dpad.

    Aside from the ergonomics, there are a ton of games out here commiting the grave sin of mapping analog to digital inputs.

    Nintendo even got rid of the dpad entirely, so now you have no option but to use the crappy c-sticks for everything. It is a pain to use in something like smash bros which 99% of the time takes 8 directional inputs, not a continuously variable swipe.

      What kinda space mutant hands do you have where the 3DS of all things was comfortable?

      I even played Zelda with the stylus, such was the shape of Nintendo’s handhelds.
