Gamecube is the only factually correct answer. Fantastic ergonomics, bold design focused on gameplay. Many of Nintendo's controllers have regressed since - especially their standard controllers that have abandoned analog L/R. Sadly Nintendo abandoned Gamecube controller's tradition, and their contemporary controllers share more in common with the abomination that was the Classic Controller for the Wii. Switch Pro controllers are good, but not innovative in the least. Joycons are innovative, but also have poor ergonomics, and are somewhat inferior to the Wiimote in some ways (and somewhat superior in others). While Nintendo has maintained the idea of innovation in their controllers, this no longer extends to ergonomics and gameplay as it used to with the Gamecube. A Gamecube controller with slightly modernised ideas (e.g. separate L2/R2 without Z button; while maintaining the 'click' function of analog L/R), L3 and R3 in analog sticks, full size R analog, addition of select button, would have been the best possible design. Sadly, Nintendo moved away from this towards standardisation of their Pro controllers, resulting in a good, but hardly unique, controller.
