My best friend still uses “Legacy” (goldeneye) controls and gets mad when games don’t have that option. He has even emailed developers about it. Half of them have no idea what he is talking about because they are not old enough to remember the before time.

We roast him for his special controls but he is better than all of us so I guess, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

I remember Goldeneye but I played it on GameCube so have no idea how more traditional controllers handled input.

Goldeneye Rogue Agent is a very different game to 1997's Goldeneye, tho.

N64 only has 1 joystick so games had to work around that. The joystick makes you walk forward/backwards and look left/right. There are also the C buttons that act as a D-pad for your right hand. Up/down is look and left/right is strafe. There were considered advanced movements that the majority of casual players could ignore.

One of the first console shooters where you could reasonably circle strafe.
