Best controller since the joystick! It renewed my interest in gaming which lapsed between SNES and last gen. I remember picking up a N64 controller and wondering what I was suppose to do with it. It seemed so bulky and complicated which made me stick to the SNES through the late 90's. I was talked into trying the PS2 and Xbox and could handle them on certain games, but when I picked up the GC controller it was a perfect match. I now can handle any of the contollers, but had the GC controller not put me at ease with current gaming, I would be completely uninteresed with the gaming world now.
