best controller ever

[senseinobaka]

My vote is for the SNES pad. It was pure genius of gaming.

now this it the part where I get my self into trouble. So I'm gonna put on the flame suit.

I sincerely believe that anyone on this thread who voted for the PSone/Dualshock/Dualshock 2/SIXAXIS/Dualshock 3 controllers should be counted as a vote for SNES pad. Why? because all of them are SNES design theory with added features (like wings, rumble, analog). I also think this is a problem Sony needs to address. The SNES style is perfect for 2-D gaming, but both Ninty and MS have evolved their controller to play 3-D games while Sony has not. For crying out loud, why is the Primary analog stick in a hard to reach secondary position on a 3-D console. It makes no sense.

Of course this argument is moot when it comes to the SIXAXIS since obviosly it was designed for the next leap in gaming, 4-D gaming.

EDIT: I just remembered, the Dualshock 3 reportedly does switch the D-pad and Analog Stick. So accolades to Sony for finally catching up. You are only a decade behind Nintendo.
