What is the best controller Nintendo has ever released? What makes it the best?



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

Gamecube, in my opinion. That thing fits in my hands like a glove.

Wii U pro controller, it's confortable and has a nice layout

WiiU Pro Controller. Its basically a cheap Xbox controller, the XBO Elite being my fave controller.
Gamecube is great provided you have no interest in playing Nintendo's most popular genre, 2D Platformer. Also the C-Stick is stupid for FPS. Also its missing a bumper and select button iirc.

Utter perfection.
It looks good.
It feels comfortable to hold.
The buttons feel awesome to press and the analog sticks are super precise.
It has 80 hours of battery life.

It has everything you want in a controller.

All of this.

Wii U Pro Controller is very ergonomic. It's incredible. I hope Nintendo's next controller is just a better version of the Pro Controller.



bet: lost

It feels a lot like the Xbox controller. However, I like the placement of the analog sticks much more for the pro controller 

 

Glad I payed 40 bucks for it. Nintendo probably could have sold more wii u's if it was the main controller

Gamecube. Feels absolutely perfect in my hands, works wonderfully and looks great.

I've never really liked the Wii U Pro. Hate the right stick/face button placement and the triggers suck.

I loved the GC one, that's my personal favourite and the Nes one is by far the most iconic gamepad ever, but I have to agree with the raccoon, the pro-controller is really good and the life of the battery is insane.
