If it works for them let them do it. I’ve seen tons of different ways people hold n64 controllers
ohh god… ohh no… its…. so terrible!!!!
Theres a right way to hold that thing?!?!
*You’re
If *you’re* gonna shit on Gen Z for “playing games wrong”, I’m gonna roast you for *your* spelling and grammar!
Also, it’s Mario *Kart*
To be fair, even holding it right is bizarre. The controller was terrible.
Is that the Mario game about buying things in a supermarket?
The N64 controller is terrible. You had to hold it different ways for different games. It looked cool, but functionally sucked donkey balls.
That’s basically how I held the remote at WalMart when it came out, though my hands were at least large enough to hold it and stretch over. Maybe had I owned it and not just played for 10 minutes at a time while my mom was shopping I would have figured it out (or read about it in the owner manual?).

That’s how I held the N64 controller from early on in its life. I couldn’t get used to holding it by the middle prong
And I used both of my N64s a lot. Hell, I would play THPS in recent years
You called it Mario Cart.
Looks okay to me. How else would you expect someone who’s never been used to it hold it?
My 6 year old did the same thing!! I couldn’t get him to hold it correctly for more than 5 seconds!
To be fair that is the weirdest controller to hold. When I was a kid I never knew how to hold either. Especially since I had such tiny hands that couldn’t reach both the thumbstick and the triggers.

And that’s the right way to hold it for Kart, you don’t need to touch the left side of the controller at all.
It’s not his fault. Mad lads designed the poor thing

Pretty sure the N64 controller was designed by aliens, because it sure as hell wasn’t made for human anatomy. And I grew up with that generation of gaming.
That’s how I’ve held those things since 64 came out

Kids no longer have that “gun grip” which we developed from years of playing army out back in the woods, with sticks for guns. or playing the classic ‘cowboys & indians’.
so.. its kinda cool to see this evolution, even in 20 years or so.
You’re*
And you can’t even do the right “you’re” smh
TBF, I think this is the exact same way that I held an N64 controller when I was a kid 25 years ago.
When I first used the N64, I would use my whole left hand to use the control stick, literally all of my fingers would be on the stick. My right hand would control everything else. Yes, Ocarina of time and Mario 64 were my first games, how could you tell?
Honestly, the N64 controller us a bit clumsy and unhandy but anyways, I feel kinda sad for him (and the rest of the child’s out there) for having struggles holding an old controller. But it’s awesome to see People showing the old classics to their child’s. Definitely would do it aswell if I was a father
That’s how I held it in 96 for a while
I had an N64 in 2003. I held the controller this way too.
When you are older than 10 and don’t know the difference between your and you’re
Someone at Nintendo looked at this controller and approved it for mass production.
