Perfect Dark Controls (self.nintendo)

Ok so how the hell am I supposed to play this game with a regular Switch controller? After decades of using dual analog sticks and getting accustomed to a certain layout I am lost on how to navigate my favorite shooter. Why can't I map look and turn to the right joystick and move and strafe to the left? Why Nintendo?! Am I forced to pay $50 for the N64 controller?

I should just continue to emulate on the Steam Deck. At least I can control it.

Nintendo just offers straight ports of old titles with minimal improvements. You're talking about some level of recoding to change how the inputs are read. This was before dual stick was popularized. The N64 controller wouldn't help with the issue really.

Someone told me that Goldeneye actually supported dual stick controls if you plugged in two controllers. And Perfect Dark is the same engine.

I need to try that out on real hardware...

Could Nintendo at least offer a mapper that I could change it to how I want? They did enough re-coding to allow online multiplayer so adding in some customizability to the controls should be doable.

Config 1.2, invert look inside the game. Invert both sticks in the Switch configuration menu for mapping controller.

You’ll have modern controls.

That actually works. Also I didn't know you can save these mappings of the controller to the system. Thanks

I thought the C buttons acted as your right thumb stick on classic shooters. I don't have the N64 on NSO so I don't know how they map those.
