The control-stick neutral position problem affects Nintendo GameCube and Nintendo 64[citation needed] games.
If the player turns the power of the console on while holding the control-stick in a certain direction, the game will act like that position is always held down.
This hardware problem is acknowledged by Nintendo.
How to solve the problem
- Turn the system off and back on, without touching the control stick.
- Press the X, Y, and Start buttons simultaneously for three seconds during gameplay, making sure to not touch the control stick.
- Unplug the game controller and reconnect it again while the system is on.
Exploitation
- In Pokémon Colosseum, the control-stick neutral position problem has been exploited to continuously walk down, and have the game automatically pull off the cliff glitch.
