        Not on the GameCube tho, where button remapping involves a soldering iron or a custom PCB.

      You swap the left/right controls on the controller. Or game settings.

      I have no idea if that would work but it sounds good and dammit now I wanna try it.

        Yeah, there wouldn’t be any options to swap left/right movement on a Gamecube. Back then you were lucky if a game had more than a handful of settings at all. It would be interesting to try on a system that allows it. I also wonder if you just practiced it enough if your brain would adjust. Sort of like that deal with the reversed controls on a bicycle that Tom Scott(?) did a video about a while back.

          I think that was Destin Sandlin from “Smarter Every Day” but yes I bet that would work. Although it might have some deleterious side effects like the inverted glasses experiment (see George Stratton and Dr. Alyssa Brewer)… nothing permanent since they were glasses that could be removed. This would be a very interesting experiment though if it hasn’t been done.

          Or being the tinkerer I am I’d probably just figure out how to rewire the control to do it. Not that that would be super easy mind you.

    As someone who’s currently rolling a nut log, this has come full circle. If only Nintendo could see me stream their games to my phone while I churn some fresh colon sausage.

    This just unlocked a memory of running a PS2 controller extension cable to use on the toilet 🤦🏻‍♂️😆

      I’ve bought a kickstarter gamecube controller that’s supposed to be shipped by February. It’s basically a modern GameCube controller, usb-C, wireless, cables to put it directly into GCN/N64… the price is a little hefty but for a good controller (that hopefully lasts longer than my ps5 stick…) I’m willing to pay that.

      Here’s the link for anyone interested, but I think you can’t get any more: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nicemitch/gc-ultimate-controller-kit/

    Man. I remember both using the controller and seeing that add. One of those GameInformer magazines way back when it was still around.
