Abstract
A non-limiting example information processing apparatus includes an operating device including an analog stick that also functions as a depressible push button. Processing circuitry of the apparatus is configured to receive inclination information indicative of an inclination of a stick portion of the analog stick; use the received inclination information as an input for a first information processing operation; receive depression information indicative of a depressing of the stick portion of the analog stick; use the received depression information as an input for a second information processing operation different from the first information processing operation; and invalidate received depression information when inclination information indicative of inclination greater than a predetermined inclination is currently received.
