to play Kirby 64

in case you wanted to use it

theoretically, it was there to play 2d games. but then nintendo went on to release almost no 2d games for the system, and they never went back and fixed the shitty controller.

Pokemon Puzzle League and Magical Tetris. Probably two more games or something, but as said, it was more there to not ruin potential games.

Mischief Makers, Clay Fighter 63⅓

Jet Force Gemini

familiarity.
japs probably wouldn't have bought it if it just had the stick.

Can't you play Smash 64 with the dpad?

>brainlet zoomer doesn't know Smash was on it and all those based wrestling games
