Norimes don't play side scrollers, so they don't prioritize it

Didn't Nintendo own the D-pad until fairly recently?

They need to make an updated version of pic rel

Each DPad design gives some kind of difficulty level to the games. But sometimes I keep using the analog even in games from older consoles, a matter of muscle memory.

Too mushy.

Because it's irrelevant. There isn't a single good video game on the planet that requires frequent use of the d-pad.

most people dont play fighting games

Yeah, but not anymore.

The PS Vita still has hands down the best D-pad I've ever used. I play harvest moon on it when I'm traveling and the D-pad pleases my autism.

No, racing games use the analog stick as well.

Only clicky dpads are worth anything.
Every other sort of dpad is complete garbage.

Why would you want all your directions to be connected? The Switch has it 100% correct with separate directional buttons.

Razer makes a controller with clicky buttons and dpad. I guess it's more expensive to do so not many controllers and no first party controllers do that.

m30 by 8bit do.

4 is plenty for the thumb. the other fingers should get more buttons

6 button layouts fucking suck. They're better off a relic of history.

it's used to navigate menus and quickslots. only bing bing wahoos and fighterfags give a shit about it and they can stay on the switch
