Forums - Nintendo Discussion - What do you think of the GameCube's controller?

I hated it, far too often I'd wind up hitting the giant A buttion when I wanted to hit B or X or Y.

amen to that still using it for Mario Kart:wii , Brawl, and VC games.

agree, I need the c- stick

Yeah, it's better than buying a classic conroller, except the controlls in SMW



Best controller from last gen. No problems with the Z button to me, because is not very used.

I hated the Z button placement, and something about the C-stick annoys me to this day. I still prefer it over the X-Box and PS2's, though.

 

I agree. And the fact that the C-stick was mapped to Smash attacks in Melee for the n00bs...

The best controller ever created.



  

Great controller, IMO. The Z button seems like an afterthought and it's probably the worst aspect of it. The D-pad could have been a bit better, but it's not a big deal, since it's barely used in GCN games. The buttons are fine. A and B are the most commonly used ones and closer to your thumb, A being the most used and thus bigger and at the center. X and Y are not used that often so they are further from the center (A). I think the layout keeps you from confusing the buttons as each one has a different size/feel.



wtf is up with the buttons? the A button is like 4 times as big as anything on the whole controller



I loved the different sizes of the buttons.. triggers were extremly good.. nice *clik* in the end.. The controller felt good in the hand! One of the best controllers ever made..
