Classic controller pro from wii, i think it was better than ps3 and x360 controllers.

The Gamecube is fine. For what it was, I was pretty well perfect. It hasn't aged well, but it's good.

The Wii-mote was...fine. I don't like motion controls, but there wasn't any issue in terms of comfort. It's limited, but that's the nature of the console.

The Gamepad...when I saw the prototype, I thought it was the worst design I'd ever seen. When they came out with the redesign, I thought it was a huge improvement, but still bad. I had a chance to try it out at a Gamestop a few months back, and it was about what I expected; tolerable, but tiring.

Best, usually. The N64 controller broke all the time and the GameCube controller was the worst one of any major console company since Atari.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

The N64 controller is so bad I do not have the words to describe it.

The best.

SNES, Gamecube, Wii and Wii U controllers are amazing.

N64 sucked, but it was one screwup in an otherwise superb record.

Have you got osteoporosis or something?



 

 

NES: good
SNES: great
N64: didn't mind it at all when I was a kid, but now I hate it
GC: masterpiece
Wii: meh
Wii U: haven't had long plays with it, but for the times I have use it, it was good

I think anyone who votes for worst haven't tried anything beyond Sony or Microsoft controllers.


agree. How can someone say this

and this

are bad controllers?



GC was great. N64 and Wiimote sucked. WiiU gamepad is ok. The pro controller pretty much based it off the X360 controller so good.

With that said I think they have hit and misses. I would rank GC up there with the best like X360. The WiiMote and N64 i would rank at the bottom.

It could be argued that they are the most innovative controllers though.

To use, not to hold. I felt like I always had to readjust my grip, and the shoulder buttons/triggers felt really awkward.

As far as the heft goes, it was a tethered unit, so I wouldn't know.
