There are quite a lot of GameCube games that let you invert the camera controls. But I’m not aware of any that would let you invert the left analog stick
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.
Ok but playing a game through a mirror would be hard af
Controller settings: Reverse X Axis.
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.

Is that Metroid Prime? Especially Metroid Prime.
Solution: play through two mirrors
