First and foremost I never once held a SNES in my hand once. So I wouldn't know,by the pictures it does look like the Playstation controller. I remember Sony and Nintendo was suppose to make a console together but it was scrapped and Sony went their own route which most of the specs that was supposed to be for the Nintendo/Sony console was used in the Playstation.

That's what I remember, and besides I'm not flaming or anything but if the Playstation controller is anything like the SNES then I like the SNES its the best controller ever :)

Is that better ?

1. Sega Genesis (6 button) gamepad

2. Sega Saturn Gamepad

3. Xbox 360 controller

4. Super Nintendo controller

5. Dualshock 2/Gamecube Controller tie

Note:  This list is purposefully excluding a lot of fantastic third party PC gamepads.

the playstation controller. Dualshock is just amazing.

Sixaxis - light weight

The Wii-mote plus Nunchuk combo or Classic controller are great. The Dualshock is also pretty good. Just stay away from any non-wireless controllers, the Sixaxis, and all of the Xbox 360 controllers as they are not very good (at least compared to the 3 controllers I mentioned).

1) Wiimote and Nunchuck
2) Gamecube
3) SNES (most modern controllers pull their design from this one)
4) Xbox 360
5) N64 (I want to put it higher because of the anolog stick, but I have a few issues with it)
6) Xbox - the small one
7) Dualshock 2
8) Dualshock 1
9) original PS controller
10) NES (a classic, but there have been so many improvments)
11) Xbox - the big one
12) Atari

I think that is all of the contollers I have spent a considerable amount of time with.

O.k Didn't know how old you were.
