It depends. The N64, GameCube, and Wii all had weird, non-standardized button/control layouts which were great for some games, but not so great for others. Meanwhile, even with the Switch's Joy-Con controllers, you still get a pretty standard controller setup out of the box. So Nintendo systems generally have the best third party support when they balance innovative controller features, with conventional norms.
