On facebook, I got into a conversation with my younger brothers and their friend in which I raised the question: Why did Nintendo 64 controllers have three handles?
The third prong just seems superfluous, antiquated, and downright silly, right?
After some further discussion in which a few theories were proposed, I had an epiphany.
Adina OH--I got it. Light bulb moment.
One handle was so you could scratch your face w/o taking your hands off the controller in the middle of an intense Mario Kart race.
MYSTERY SOLVED!
