This is what happens when you hire hippies and college day dreamers to design a video game....

[JcFerggy]

Hey now, I take offense to that :/

[killermonkey]

If someone doesn't get offended everytime I post something I consider it a worthless post. Thanks for being offended

Golden Classic Controller bundle confirmed:

Raise your hand if you _still_ own the REAL classic gold controller (N64).

*Raises Hand*

Pics or it didn't happen...

EDIT:
I didn't know there was an actual golden controller, I thought you meant some normal N64 controller - so I guess I have to lower my hand on this one. :- (
Yet it wasn't that easy for me to get GoldenEye in Germany back in these days (in 1997 I was 11) but since our school class went to France it worked out about 2 or 3 years later. (I was lucky I knew the game because a friend of a friend had it - it was on The Index right after the European release)

I was actually hoping "Classic controller bundle" meant we would finally have something similar to the original N64 controller for the wii.

what a letdown.

Of course not, the target audience for the game is too young to know what an N64 controller would looks like. They'd be like "Wait, do I need three hands to use this thing?" It would require thought and understanding, something generally lacking among today's gaming population, particularly the Call of Duty fans this game is aimed at.

Even so, I remember the original N64's manual stating 3 ways of holding the controller for those who wouldn't figure it out.
Yet I used another way to hold it when I played GoldenEye - grabbing the stick with my left hand and doing everything else with my right (using the middle finger for the z-trigger, index to aim and thumb to change weapons and reload/use). Everyone told me it looked funny but I it felt more comfortable to me and I was more accurate than otherwise.

I just did it simply like the right position shown here:

I was a lefty

Your mind has been blown.

I actually found that out by a friend of mine handing me an N64 controller and then a Nunchuck. That blew my mind far more than a picture would have. It's awesome though.

Any chance you could get a picture of that? I can't even imagine what the would look like or how it would be possible to play like that (especially a game like Goldeneye).

You could even use two N64 controllers to play Goldeneye.
Allthough i never saw someone doing this, except for shoting baron in the egypt end sequence and fool arround in other sequences.
