Man, you got me to start looking for a N64 and the wrestling games on OfferUp.

Easier methods to achieve those means.

That wasn't a myth though.

That was confirmed? I remember it being just a rumor.

That moonwalker game sound similar to a sonic game lol.

Sega has been pretty tight-lipped about it over the years, but there's plenty of evidence that MJ worked on some of the music to Sonic 3.

Never played moonwalker.

 

[Nike Jordan]

There was an arcade version as well.

What controller would you guys say was the best?

I would say the N64 and DS3.

 

[s-blaze]

Gamecube wavebird.

The n64 was weird to me, I never knew how to hold it. And then mashing for mario party games?

I HATED the N64 analog stick when I first transitioned to the system. I eventually adapted.

N64
GameCube

I'm just going to say the Dual Shock for PS1-2-3-4. It was the most versatile for me. Being able to play Street Fighter with a controller is very important to me.

I know they ripped off the SNES controller as far as design and then put analog sticks after the N64 but it's just the best overall for me.

I've had fightsticks and different joysticks but the controller is just more practical to me now because I go mobile often. I play SNES on my phone or iPad a lot.

How much was MK Trilogy? It was 35 dollars at my local retro store.

 

[debso]

the snes controller is the GOAT but the pro controller on the switch is the best out right now IMO.
