Nintendo has had issue with direction controls since the N64 era (while having a fantastic d-pad, the durability issue on the analog stick was unforgivable). The Gamecube controller, while better durability, had a toyish analog stick on the left which actually lacked the general accuracy of the N64 one (play Zelda: Ocarina of Time, for a comparison)... and unfortunately similarly crappy quality carried through on other controllers - although, while feeling toyish, the accuracy seems to have improved a lot from the Cube controller. Speaking of the cube controller, the right analog stick was even MORE toyish; looked like something from fisher price. One of their handhelds (forget which one) and the cube controller also had very crappy d-pads, they were very small, almost mere decorations.
While a lot of the Wii and later stuff has been sufficient (not all of the Wii stuff was), I wish Nintendo would make all of their directional controls look and feel high quality. I'd pay extra for that.
