Which of Nintendo's last three default console controllers do you think is the best, and what about them makes them the best?

Joycons, hands down, but even this comes with sore hands after a couple of hours

Wii U Gamepad is okish, never played it long enough to dislike

Wii Mote is unbearable


This is making me think how I miss a standard controller to play Nintendo games, Pro Controller is the way to go



WiiU Gamepad. I have large hands, so it's ergonomically best for me.

Wiimote was just not my idea of a good time...

And Joycons when used individually are far to small for me to feel comfortable using them.

Gamepad because, not going to lie, it was a blessing for porn.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first. 

Wiimote and nunchuk had that annoying cable in the middle, the Joycons are similar but without a cable.
Generally they're great controllers and way more versatile than the Wii U Gamepad.

The Joy-Cons are what the Wii Mote + Nunchuk were supposed to be, they just didn't have the proper technology while making it affordable.



WiiU game pad cause you can draw hentai on it

Fix the joycon drifting and there would be no question about it.

Joy cons - I absolutely love using them. They feel so natural it’s almost as if they’re an extension of me.



WiiU gamepad being so high is a mystery to me. It had horrendous battery life and drained battery while you weren't even using it and you had to charge it from mains.

One of the biggest problems I had with the WiiU is basically everytime I played I had to be tethered to a plug socket.
