It was the early days of 3d gaming consoles. And as nobody knew how control schemes will develop they created this controller with three different kinds of input schemes:
Left on left/ right on right for traditional plattformers
Left on middle / right on right for 3d games that require that analog stick
Left on left / right on middle … yeah I don’t know either. Twin stick shooters perhaps?
Is there any game that utilized the d pad though? The d pad and the L button must have gone down in history as the most useless buttons ever put on a controller.

I at least know about Kirby 64 and Pokemon Stadium.
Pretty much every 2D game did.
Fighting games, esp if you were old school
Some games actually had you holding the middle and left sticks (Wetrix I think?).
Also the D-pad or L button were used to taunt in Smash Bros.
The AKI wrestling games like Wrestlemania 2000 and WWF No Mercy
