I beat it playing like any other game: left analog for movement, right hand on C-buttons. I smashed GoldenEye and Perfect Dark this way too. (you move faster with C-buttons on diagonals.)
But "muh wacky contruls!1"? I bet OP’s suffering ‘cause he’s so used to shooting with the right shoulder, all “muh heckerino Call of Dutino!! Woah!!!”
What? Most of you think Star Fox 64 is “le wacky” ‘cause you aim with your left hand? Damn, you guys are so stupid.
