I'd actually say the opposite. Since I'm a user of controllers for PC Games, you want to stick to console.
The N64 version of IM is actually less clunky than the PC controls, and the game is much improved overall. Better graphics, and best of all, there's no compatibility issues. IM crashes on XP if you use any guns other than handguns. Also will only run right if you're running Windows Media Player in the background.
The PC version of ET has better graphics, but try to use a PC Controller, and you're out of luck. The camera controls terribly with anything but a mouse, which means you can't use a controller.
