Why do people love the Gamecube controller?

I didn't enjoy it much. Wasn't bad, but very awkward to use(however, the analogue stick and shoulder buttons were extremely comfortable).

The wii remote was less comfortable than the gamecube controller though. Unfortunately for me, I have big hands. Small tv remote-like controller+huge hands does not equal something good.

As for the gamepad, it is EXTREMELY uncomfortable for many games. Heck, it's worse than the Wii, especially for games such as Mario Kart.

The Wii U pro controller is(quite honestly) the best controller Nintendo has made in a while. Simple, efficient, good battery.

 

Explain to me how it is uncomfortable for mario kart? I only used the gamepad for Mario Kart. I even don't want it on TV, I find myself staring down to play most the time asyou don't see the jaggies as much on the small screen. 

 

Using a tablet-like thing for gameplay is not comfortable for me. All of the weight on the gamepad really makes it hard for me to enjoy myself playing wii games when I'm lying down or such.
