What is your least favorite controller?
« on: September 29, 2016, 01:09:50 pm »
For me the n64 controller is my least favorite. I know their are worst controllers like the atari jaguar controller, Atari 7200 controller or maybe even the dream cast but neither of them three systems are as glorified as the n64 so I feel it should take a lot more of the criticism for its controller. And I also play the N64 substantially more.  I try to play Orcarina of Time on original hardware now and I cant without getting sore thumbs. The 3DS or WII U e shop versions are the only ways I can play OOT now.   Looking back I question how so many of us were able to put as much time as we did on OOT on such a god awful controller.  If only the N64 came bundled with the gamecube controller.   :D

My least favorite? 
The GameCube.  It just seems like that giant A button just gets in the way.

Out of the controllers I've used (OEM only), it would be the original Duke for the OG Xbox. Thing is cumbersome, huge, the layout is bad, the d pad is trash, I just don't like it. Thankfully they made the S model, which is a great controller.

The N64 controller, easily. I hate the hand placement, I hate that the D-pad is nearly useless; and I hate the flimsy, easy-to-break, and way-too-sensitive thumbstick.

Not the gamecube
Not the N64

The model 1 Sega Saturn controller, the Nintendo 64 controller and the Dreamcast controller.

The Dual Shock. I hate the sticks and shoulder buttons and the size/shape of the controller is such that I start to develop painful cramps in my hands after about 15 minutes.

Probably Wii because of the goofy ass design, though overall would be the N64 controller.  Love that system, but that controller is terrible lol

I'm one of those odd ones that can find the N64 controller comfortable.
by far to me the worst are the coleco\intellivision controllers. not to mention the 5200 which didn't even re-center itself I've never played with that one, but it seems similar enough. when you need to put an overlay on a controller to tell you what those buttons do that seems like bad design to me

The original XBox's "Duke " controller. That thing was WAY to damn huge. Maybe my hands are too small, but it wasn't until I got to use the "S" controller that could I really play the system.
