+1

None of those old pads were ever comfy. They got the job done but...yeah. Out of the 8-16 bit days, my vote would go to the SNES pad.

Re: RUMOR - Next Nintendo Console to Be Announced at E3 2011
 

The regular one sucked, yes. But the six button (the pic I posted) was glorious.

Re: RUMOR - Next Nintendo Console to Be Announced at E3 2011
 

Nope, they both sucked. The one you pictured was way too bulky.

Re: RUMOR - Next Nintendo Console to Be Announced at E3 2011
 

I liked the 6 button Genesis controller too, I really like 6 face buttons more then triggers.

Heh? You have a nine year-old's girl's hands?

Re: RUMOR - Next Nintendo Console to Be Announced at E3 2011
 

This is no laughing matter. That's probably the least scary thing in his basement of terrors.

Re: RUMOR - Next Nintendo Console to Be Announced at E3 2011
 

I still would've liked to have tried out Sony's original boomerang controller. Oh well...

Re: RUMOR - Next Nintendo Console to Be Announced at E3 2011
 

You and me both. Any innovation by Sony would be better than no innovation in over a decade.

Re: RUMOR - Next Nintendo Console to Be Announced at E3 2011
 

Well, I was 9 at the time, so...

Pretty sure my penis was extant at the time, however.

Re: RUMOR - Next Nintendo Console to Be Announced at E3 2011
 

Well that's why asking what your favorite controller is is pretty stupid. Of course you are going to choose your favorite consoles.

Re: RUMOR - Next Nintendo Console to Be Announced at E3 2011
 

Why change what works? The original XBOX controller was terrible, so they made an adjustment for 360 and it apparently was a better attempt. PlayStation had success with their design since day one. They added the analog sticks and the vibration and were done with it.

Don't fix what's not broken.

Re: RUMOR - Next Nintendo Console to Be Announced at E3 2011
 

I don't think that's true. You can enjoy a console but wish the controller was different.

Re: RUMOR - Next Nintendo Console to Be Announced at E3 2011
 

IMO, Sony could do much to make their controller better --- start by sizing it for adult males (your demographic) and move the LH thumb stick up.

Re: RUMOR - Next Nintendo Console to Be Announced at E3 2011
 

I have large hands and prefer the playstation controller to the Xbox 360 one. The stereotype on this board is generally that if you like the playstation controller you must have small hands, bollocks that one.

Re: RUMOR - Next Nintendo Console to Be Announced at E3 2011
 

I prefer the playstation controller myself. Much easier to break in my bare hands when I read about yet another lapse in security.

Re: RUMOR - Next Nintendo Console to Be Announced at E3 2011
 

:horse:

The dual shock is an abomination. The only controller that's worse is the Dreamcast. It's not ergonomic in any fashion. The analog placement is also non-ergonomic. The triggers are awful. The convex analogs don't lend to keeping your thumbs in place. And finally...totally nitpicky but what the hell was wrong with A,B,X,Y? That was all marketing.

What was good in 1998 isn't quite as good in 2011 when everyone else has passed you by.

Not really.

Re: RUMOR - Next Nintendo Console to Be Announced at E3 2011
 

Its almost as if you idiots who like the DualShock think personal taste is subjective.

Re: RUMOR - Next Nintendo Console to Be Announced at E3 2011
 

This is starting to digress into a bullshit fanboy war, so before that happens. Knock it off with the personal insults, etc - and know that opinions are valid. Calling someone an idiot and fanboy because they prefer one CONTROLLER of another is not valid.


For the record - I disliked the feel of the Dualshock from the moment I used it back in the late 1990s, still don't like it. But at that time, it was way better than the godawful N64 controller. Also, I hated the Dreamcast controller.

Re: RUMOR - Next Nintendo Console to Be Announced at E3 2011
 

Agreed. The directional pad was floaty and hurty.

Re: RUMOR - Next Nintendo Console to Be Announced at E3 2011
 

I think redbill was being sarcastic.

Re: RUMOR - Next Nintendo Console to Be Announced at E3 2011
 

He was (and L&O knows he was), but it is a slippery slope.

Re: RUMOR - Next Nintendo Console to Be Announced at E3 2011
 

why not break this off into a controller discussion thread. THere's not much Wii2 news and the controller talk will likely continue.

:lol: I loved the N64 controller.

Re: RUMOR - Next Nintendo Console to Be Announced at E3 2011
 

This.

Re: RUMOR - Next Nintendo Console to Be Announced at E3 2011
 

Sure you did. ;)

Re: RUMOR - Next Nintendo Console to Be Announced at E3 2011
 

I thought it was fine when I had it, but the GCN controller destroyed any enjoyment i once had for it. Although, I do like that it basically has six buttons for your right thumb. Awesome controller for Killer Instinct Gold back in the day.
