N64 controller = my favourite

[–]bazaarzar 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The N64 controller was one of the most comfortable controllers I've ever used.

[–]Gangringo 23 points24 points ago

Honestly I think the Gamecube controller is just about the best ever created. I really liked how they went away from all equal sized face buttons on a grid to the radial layout around a single large button.

Size it up a bit and make the D-pad bigger and it would be perfect.

[–]Ommec 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It just fits so perfectly in the hand. And the micro-controllers? FUGGETABOUDIT.

[–]UndoDog 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Totally. Nintendo knows that players generally mash 1 button, use the d-pad for menu stuff and the 2nd analog for camera. Plus analog shoulder buttons. Ace.

As a man with big hands, the Gamecube controller can go fuck itself, sure my tiny mate could play with that thing for hours but I had to claw hold that fucker and got hand fatigue after an hour.

Now the original xbox controller, that was the shit.

Until you have to press b and x at the same time.

[–]hydrogen_wv 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Obviously, it'd be up to the game developers to use the buttons wisely. That's like saying "Until you have to hit black and white at the same time" on the Xbox controller...

[–]The-Dudemeister 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yea I was mostly thinking in reference to the virtual console games that were on the wii in which it was required for super nintendo games, but that I guess they did that on purpose so they pretty muched forced you to buy their other controller instead of using their own controller that you already paid for. That old xbox controller was the biggest piece of shit ever made.

[–]Timmac 0 points1 point ago

haahahah black and white... no game ever used those buttons

[–]smash360 2 points3 points ago

Hey man. Sometimes you need a little flashlight action.

[–]CaptInsane 7 points8 points ago

The N64 controller actually makes a lot of sense. It lets people choose whether they want to use a stick or a dpad, and if a game uses both, you just take your left hand off the middle spot and use the dpad.

[–]FordSVT1 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Taking your hand off the controller in he middle of the game to push a button on the left side of it is part of the problem.

[–]Gamiac 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Pshhhhh, try playing Goldeneye with the 1.2 config. Control pad to move, analog stick to aim, A is 'use', B reloads, Z shoots, L is fine aiming.

Though, the controller's design really wasn't that big of a leap of logic when you think about it. It's pretty much like a Saturn pad with a thumbstick slapped on and an extra button on the back. The Dualshock was much better, but they still could've done worse for having the first major controller with a thumbstick.

[–]FordSVT1 1 point2 points ago

The Saturn's analog controller was great. Playing Nights with it was... like a DREAM. snicker

[–]UndoDog 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Evolution is a good word for this. Nintendo try things, if it doesn't work it dies off. The N64 introduced the analog stick. It want expected to be used more than the d-pad so it went in the middle. Turns out they were wrong and the left side got ignored. Lesson learned.

Same with the wii. Laugh all you want but its nowhere near as funny as Sony and MS's desperate attempts to copy it.

So yeah. Rather an evolution of controllers than sticking with the old one religiously.

[–]FordSVT1 -3 points-2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

MS didn't copy the Wii controllers. If you're talking about Kinect, they did what Nintendo wishes they had been able to do five years ago.

[–]CakeBandit 1 point2 points ago

I think he's actually referencing that sony whateveritis with the two balls or whatever.

[–]FordSVT1 0 points1 point ago

I'm sure he is, but he mentioned MS too.

[–]CakeBandit 0 points1 point ago

Oh, why yes he did.

[–]Naeddyr 2 points3 points ago

In retrospect, using the original Nintendo controller was like trying to crush a Lego brick with your bare hands.

[–]iddothat 8 points9 points ago

Obviously Evolution doesn't exist. Take that, atheists.

[–]Fa1coLombardi -3 points-2 points ago

Evolution does exist, if it didn't then they would have stuck with the NES controllers. Take that, religious guy.

Here in the US, us SNES lovers never got a taste of the colorful action buttons. We could only get it through a 3rd party controller, and everyone knows what they are like.

[–]HobKing 1 point2 points ago

The GameCube controller didn't "exhaust the limits of button-cramming technology," it has fewer buttons than the DualShock 2, DualShock 3, Xbox, and Xbox 360 controllers.

Original NES controller still had the most flexibility without breaking. Good for those "FUCK YOU JACQUIO" moments in Ninja Gaiden.

What about the virtual boy? The red-headed stepchild of the nintendo world?

[–]CakeBandit 1 point2 points ago

Didn't the PS2 controller have something like twelve buttons in total not counting the D-Pad? Why is that even an issue for the gamecube?

You forgot Wii U. "Fuck it, throw a big ass screen on there and call it good. Fuck you it's supposed to be the size of a dinner plate."

[–]Hinph 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Wii U controller is going to be the shit... it can do just about anything any developer wants it to do.

Everybody who has gone hands-on with it has said that it's lightweight and comfortable to hold. So what if it's big?

[–]CakeBandit 0 points1 point ago

It worked for the XBoX.

Except some people like me loved the N64 controller, probably my fav of them all.

[–]Finn1916 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

If you held it almost like a gun, with your trigger finger on the z button underneath, and used your thumb f your right hand to control the joystick,and your other fingers f your right hand to hit buttons and just used your left for the d pad, it was easy. Wow, why do I remember that?

[–]Gamiac 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Goldeneye, Turok, or Perfect Dark is why, I'm guessing.

[–]Finn1916 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I believe all three would be the reason

[–]WarPhalange -1 points0 points ago

That's because you are a bad person and you should feel bad for liking it.

Nintendo got it right at the Gamboy Advance, everything since then has been an over complication.

Honestly if Nintendo released a GBA with a decent screen (make it touch sensitive if you really want) along with new Zelda, Maro Bros/Cart, Advanced Wars and Metroid I'd be happy forever.

I like the original controller and super nintendo controller. I can not get used to the analog controllers. The one thing I REALLY dislike about the wii controller is that the dpad is too close to the A button. I accidentally bubble a lot on Super Mario World.

I feel like I am the only person who liked the N64 controller.

[–]Narissis 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't understand the "Is this controller for 3-handed mutants?!?!" argument. It's a versatile controller designed to be usable in one of multiple different configurations, giving developers more options for potential control schemes. I feel like people somehow miss the point that you're not meant to hold all three handles at once.

um the n64 controller represents the apex of human technology. wtf.

[–]mctweek 0 points1 point ago

I think the creator of this item was too young to play a N64 or they would have had a completely different opinion of the controller. That controller is perfection.

yes, wii all know what happened. Thank you, OP. And thank you Nintendo for not pushing the same controller on every consol (like ps, ps2, ps3, xbox and xbox 360). And for good measure fuck you all. peace.

Yeah seriously, who wants to carry over the same finger skills they spent mastering on their last console. Pffft, no body that's who!

Way to leave out the Game and Watch, where the D-pad was invented. Idiot.

I love the way you slipped the totally unnecessary "idiot" into your comment.

[–]SevereMigraine -2 points-1 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well if you're going to do an infographic, the least you can do is research your topic properly. The Game & Watch portables preceded the Famicom / NES by several years, and it was there that the first + directional pad was invented.
