Anyone Wish JOD had a D-pad option like NiD?

I think all the other ways of control in JOD sucks. The GC controller lags, there is nothing to hold onto with the nun chuck (My fingers/hand keep slipping) and the pointer, as I stated before, sucks.
I wish there was an option to use the D-Pad not everything... Like the OLD days. Why does all the Next-gen controls have to suck? Seriously, old school controls need to be brought back as an option in a lot of the newer games. I'm really getting sick of bad controls.

So when I go and use the GC controller, I utterly sucked massive ass cuz I was not used to this. Even when I did get used to it, it was still bad because the GC controller just isn't anygood. But its better than the nunchuck or or wii remote. (Also, using the Black GC controller has a bit of a grip thing on it. It doesn't work SUPER well, but its better than the normal controller.)
The only time I use the Wii remote for this game is for the Concert stage. It ACTUALLY makes that level a whole lot easier.
This has always worried me though when I first heard of the Wii remote. I knew some games just wouldn't work well with it. NiGHTS is one of them. Sonic Riders is the other..............

I have the 3d pad for my Saturn and it makes the nunchuck and Gamecube control feel like crap in comparison. I'm not keen on the Wii remote at all.
It's resulted in a lot of crappy tacked on control systems for otherwise decent games. The only thing I like to use it for is Wii Sports.

The Gamecube controller handles adequately enough for me to play, but yeah the response feels a bit sloppier than the practically perfect tuning of the Saturn classic and I still can't do as well as I can on the original. The 8-notch stick is only part of it; the actual response is like a frame or two delayed (most likely Sega using double-buffering instead of VSync...on a 30 fps game...of all the cheap tactics >_<).
Anyway, Yes. A straight-up D-Pad option would have been nice.

But it really does make a nice improvement to round out the nunchuk's octagon housing. Paralooping is a LOT more natural.

I know a Saturn > DC adapter is out there (since I own one) but I can't remember the name of it.I always, always use the analog control for NiD, so I really wouldn't use a D-Pad much, but I'm ALL for an adapter that lets us plug in old controllers to new consoles. I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to use my Saturn controls on my Dreamcast for Marvel vs. Capcom (never could get my hands on a decent 6 button pad for my DC), and it would be great to be able to use the Saturn pad for JoD.
I suppose you could buy a bunch of adapters that would chain Saturn > DC > PS2 > GC and plug it in the wii's controller port. It would look ridiculous but it'd work...maybe? If not we'll have to round up a bunch of electrical engineers and figure it out. My university's full of 'em

I was playin NiD the other day with the analogue pad on my Saturn, and when I went back to playing JoD with the Gamecube control, it felt awful.
I know nothing is going to compare to the beautiful feeling of the Saturn pad, but I was wondering if the classic control felt any better....

I on use the classic controller becaue it's the only one that feels right. Plus I hated using the digital pad for NiD. As soon as I got the 3D controller it was like it finally felt right.Is it worth getting a wii classic controller to play JoD?

For whatever reason I have a much easier time keeping NiGHTS flying straight while using the D-pad in NiD. In JoD I feel like my flying is "wobbly" or off-center. I miss the tightness of the D-pad controls.
