My personal top 10.

I was in a creative mood so I decided to put some effort into this list.

10 - Nintendo Entertainment System

Pros - Very simple big buttons, looks sweet :p

Cons - Edges not comfertable, D-pad kills thumbs.

9 - Guitar Hero

Pros - Most immersive controller ever, very comfertable, responsive buttons.

Cons - Expensive, only works for Guitar Hero (duh)

8 - Nintendo Wii Classic Controller

Pros - Comfertable for extended play, plenty of buttons for all retro consoles.

Cons - Feels cheap compared to other 1st part controllers, joysticks too close together.

7 - Game Boy Advance

Pros - Very comfertable for long play times.

Cons - Small D-Pad, not enough buttons.

6 - Nintendo 64

Pros - More then enough buttons, comfertable for long play sessions.

Cons - Joystick kills thumbs, D-pad never used, tiny C buttons.

5 - Super Nintendo Entertainment System

Pros - Amazing D-pad for extended play, comfertable buttons.

Cons - Very thin compared to other era controllers, prone to yellowing...(mine at least)

4 - Microsoft Xbox 360

Pros - Extremely comfertable for long play time, can be used with PC's.

Cons - Horride D-pad, bumpers feel 'clicky'

3 - Nintendo Wii Remote and Nunchuck

Pros - Motion controls, very comfertable for long playthroughs.

Cons - Runs on AA batteries, not enough buttons, 1-2 hard to reach.

2 - Nintendo Virtual Boy

Pros - Extremly comfertable controller, all buttons feel perfect, only good thing about Virtual Boy.

Cons - Battery pack is on the controller and heavy, 2nd D-pad is rarely used.

1 - Nintendo Gamecube

Pros - Amazingly comfertable can play for hours on end, L and R buttons feel good. The Perfect Controller.

Cons - C-Stick can slip under your thumb, odd Z trigger placement.

 

yes someone else who loved the virtualboy controller... if only it had been remade with analog sticks... the second dpad was so lefties, and righties could use it
