Best controller?
Ok, so me, Liam, Rob and Joe were talking about this today at school. Contrary to what Joe says, the N64 controller was the shittest controller ever made, just beating the Dreamcast. I would like to hear your opinions on this pile of shit that Nintendo passed off as a controller and what your favourite is.
I will leave you with a picture I just posted on Joe's MySpace page:

Dreamcast controller was the best controller ever made, EVER! Then playstation, then xbox, then nintendo.

I like the N64 controller... Playstation pwns most though.
19 January 2006, 17:41 UTC#4
I agree with Joe, n64 controller it is. You don't need to use both directional parts of the controller at once.

Nintendo Gamecubes controllers are good.. fit perfect to your hands imo.
But on some games it doesnt work very well, Ill have to say Playstations then
19 January 2006, 17:43 UTC#6
Fuck anyone who says the N64 controller is good.
PS2 all the way.
19 January 2006, 17:45 UTC#7
At least some see sense, sad pic mike!
Can't fault the 64, think it was the best console ever made.

N64 controller all the way. But also I love the NES controller for how simple it was.
19 January 2006, 17:46 UTC#10
ps2 would have to be my personal favorite.

N64 is the 2nd best, next to PS2.
shit = DC and that new nintendo one looks utter shit...which will take the crown of worst
19 January 2006, 17:48 UTC#12
But was the PS2 the same as PSone and now the PS3? I think they just added rumple to the PS2 version?
Anyone remember the Atari Jag controller? OMG was that bad... it looked like a phone

The dreamcast was a brick, one big brick, although the memory card idea was fucking genius.

The dreamcast controller fitted in with the games out for the dreamcast. For the ones specifically made for the console, it worked a charm.
19 January 2006, 18:36 UTC#19
Playstation ones are the best by far.
19 January 2006, 19:03 UTC#20
I like the controller I have, it's a smaller version of the original ps2 one, from madkatz.
19 January 2006, 19:34 UTC#21
It has to be either the PS or the Xbox as far as the best goes. Something interesting happened in about 1999 when playing DonkeyKart Racing for the 64, I realized, "Hey! These controllers are the most poorly designed inoperable pieces of shit I have ever had the displeasure of using in the history of video games." I couldn't help but think, "Hey at least it can not get any worse then this huh?" An lo and behold Nintendo managed to out-shit itself with the Gamecube "controller". I about vomited when I initially picked up the sorry excuse for a hand-held device, it's so poorly made and the button placement is so mis-placed, it's quite comical to think a system with a controller like this could have sold so well to compete with the likes of the keen Xbox and PS2. No wait a second, it didn't compete, it trailed behind, wallowing in its own piteous mass of ineptitude. Fuck Nintendo.

PS2 is a good controller..love it..Ninteno gamecube woud be my scond favoritebecause its fits nice..especially the left and right buttons. 64 is my third choice..not a big fan of xbox..too bulky..and the smaller versions are a iece of crap as well..Dreamcast is a piece of shit as well..its a box. Sega Genesis controllers are to rounded and cant get a good grip. Snes controllers are pretty simple but nice. Nes controllers were awesome back inthe day..but I try using them now and it seems that my hadns are to big for them. Atari kept it simple with a joystifk..good work guys.

Your just bitter, because the N64 controller SUCKED. (I did have an N64, but the dreamcast owns all.)

Is the Megadrive called Genesis in the US? Thats sucks.
19 January 2006, 20:12 UTC#30
PS2 controller.. I no when everyone see's the knew one they all go, whats with the long handles, but think about it.. the ones at the moment are to short. You cant JUST grip the handes you have to grip the r and l buttons at the same time to hold it and some games dont use them that often. so PS2 controlelr at the moment but I think PS3 will take over
