It's worth noting that Star Wars: Episode I Racer also had a twin-controller option. What was really amazing about all of this is the replies to my tweet, which suggested that Ant was not alone in having never heard of this particular trick вЂ“ a trick which, when you think about it, makes GoldenEye the first twin-stick FPS title in gaming history (kinda). Guffaw! Today learned that you can use two controllers to play GoldenEye рџ¤— /YeDn2Ga4wr- Damien McFerran September 16, 2020 Needless to say, my esteemed colleague was dubious initially, and as we scrambled to find a second N64 pad, even I thought my memory might be playing a cruel trick on me could this be something I'd misremembered in the years that have passed since I used to play GoldenEye on a daily basis? But no! Upon tinkering with the options menu, the two-controller configuration was discovered and much hilarity took place. 'Did you know you can play it with two controllers?' Despite the fact that, at home, I'm incapable of remembering what my wife asked me to fetch from upstairs by the time I've reached the top step, this tiny, almost inconsequential nugget of information had been lodged in my brain for decades waiting for the perfect moment to present itself вЂ“ and here it was. 'Aha!' exclaimed Nintendo Life's editorial director (me, basically).

Take yesterday, for example вЂ“ having hooked up his swanky HDMI-ready N64 console to capture some footage of Super Mario 64 for our Super Mario 3D All-Stars comparison video, Nintendo Life MD Ant Dickens found time for a quick game of GoldenEye вЂ“ who can blame him? вЂ“ and a discussion soon erupted over the game's unique control system, which utilised the analogue 'wand' for movement and turning while mapping strafing commands to the left and right C-buttons вЂ“ a setup which arguably foretold the rise of twin-stick controls in FPS games.

It's amazing what random nuggets of trivia fly around the Nintendo Life office on a daily basis.
