Plus, it seems to just work better than the D-pad overall, and have less “glitches.” Both the analog stick and the D-pad can be used for directional control in games that require it, and often, you’ll want to use the analog stick it’s just closer to the original arcade joysticks of the past. However, a few titles have some spotty controls, most noticably in Dig Dug Arrangement. I could go into detail about how each and every game in NMBC is played, but we’d be here for a week.įor the most part, the control in each game contained within NMBC is pretty tight.
