Nintendo should evolve, i hope with iwata's passing nintendo takes more risks, nintendo should embrace the future, nintendo should stop living in the past...

nintendo should keep using the gamecube controller.

because bringing it back for smash fanboys wasn't enough


"Take more risks."

"Keep using the wavebird."

Riiiiight.



Around the Network

Either way, nothing like this is happening. The NX is getting a smaller, screened controller that's shaped like the pro controller. So an updated gamepad. No wavebird and no pro controller.

The Gamecube controller was perhaps the worst controller of any major console ever. Why would you want Nintendo to use such a terrible controller?


You seem to be in the minority here...



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

While I don't think it was the worst controller I do agree going back to that design is dumb.

Maybe if the C-stick was an actual analog but there is no design advantage outside of playing Smash that it has over their current pro controller line. The massive A button works for some games but it also screws up others genres like fighting games.



A new controller would be better.



Around the Network

A moderately updated redesigned version would be killer.



I honestly want to have it return, just use the same D-pad the GamePad/Pro Controller have, and make the analog triggers better.

I actually have a joke controller with pissing people off in mind, I want to have anyone use it.



 
I WON A BET AGAINST AZUREN! WOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

:3

All I care about is that the left analog stick is higher than the Dualshock's. I can't stand the placement of those on the Playstation controllers.

The GameCube controller is only great for Nintendo games.

Try playing a modern Call of Duty, Uncharted or Halo on that thing.

Try playing 2D Platformers that use more than 2 buttons, like Mario World. It was a terrible design.

I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
