The GameCube controller is close (and has a larger TTR than most), but it's far from being equivalent.
That could explain why installing a GameCube-style controller on an OG N64 controller just doesn't make it for speedrunners. It just doesn't have enough range to be as precise as the N64 stick.

It's a term I coined. It's the physical distance a thumb makes when pushing the stick as far as possible.
The quality of the sensor is not the only factor to consider.
The N64 is unique in the sense that it's the controller with the biggest one. And games were made with this in mind.

See how I'm able to tiptoe with Mario here (Super Mario 64). It's all with native JoyCon 2 on my Switch 2. I needed to extend exactly my stick (I used Blu Tack!!!) by 28.09 mm.
Human thumbs just cannot be that precise without a thumbstick extension.

Are you able to tiptoe like this with a Switch 2 JoyCon?
Well, you can't without a 28.09 mm physical extension to your stick.

@mattmcmuscles.bsky.social @stopskeletons.bsky.social I'm pretty sure this kind of weird news is up your valley.
It's silly, but it works so well and in ways… it shouldn't.

Check how much reach the N64 has compared to other platforms! 🤯
And I go in detail, in my article, on the fact that N64 developers were pretty much aware of it. Games were designed around the fact that you had so much range.
With today's controllers, we lost something. It really shows.

Here's footage with my JoyCon 2 extended (with adhesive putty) set to the size given by my tool to emulate N64. While aiming is still not easy with the JoyCon, everything else speaks for itself. Bond smoothly transitions between the concrete blocks and the N64 controller spins around gracefully.

Here's how GoldenEye 007 (N64) plays with a Switch 2 JoyCon. Notice the jank when moving the analog stick: it's almost like if it was all or nothing, everytime. It's jarring to see Bond walk between the concrete blocks. See also how stiff the N64 controller moves in the pause menu.

My article also contains a tool in order to compare the TTR of controllers.
It also explains how you can "fix" that discrepancy by "emulating" the targeted thumbstick. #blutack
I refute the idea that N64 games controls are quaint and charming, but grating. Maybe it's just your analog stick fault!

Thumb-travel range (TTR) is the umami of 3D consoles. It is the essence of what makes N64 games feel like N64 games.
There's finally a name to put on the fact that playing them on the NSO with a JoyCon 2 soooooo feels terrible. It explains why.
More space your thumb has, more precise it will be.

That's a good point! To make sure, I switched my Switch 2 to Japanese and got screenshots.
I asked Gemini to translate the text on the images given the context of the level. (no spoilers)
The translation seems appropriate. It's not literal, but Treehouse seems to have kept the merchant delusion.

I cannot revert back to his natural brown. And I'm not crazy, here's a screenshot from my game compared to the one from someone posted on Reddit.

What are you doing, Mario from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga? You’re T-posing before the minigame? Fine, it happens all the time, the animation wasn’t loaded yet.
Wait, IN A 2D GAME? 😵💫
That cannot be anything else than an Easter egg. 😂 A gag way before it’s time.

I dare you. I double dare you not to click the "Throw plushie" button more than once. It's a feature that I added on my new personal website, adamscott.studio.
And it's way too addicting.

I was fed up of manually navigate through issues and repository on GitHub. So I just created my own Firefox extension in order to be able to tell the browser where I want to go.
It works based on where you are. So if you ask for issues in a repo, it will display the repos' issues.

Just updated my workstation to Fedora 42, and I cannot understate how AMAZING the UI is.
This is all thanks to the new Adwaita fonts (Awaita Sans and Adwaita Mono) that come as the new default for GNOME 48.
Just take a look at this comparison.
(I'm in love.)
