For a brief halcyon moment in gaming, all of two generations, we got away from the blasted Atari joystick. We had D-pads on the NES, the TG16, and SMS, and on the SNES & Genesis. We were free of the curse of “arcade controls” at home. And then Nintendo and Sony screwed up and went back to it. What a shame.

I’d much rather use an analogue joystick over a d-pad for 3D games as long as they aren’t shooters or strategy games. In those cases, I want M&KB.
I don’t agree, but then again I also don’t want to play 3D games, mostly.
