MM Legends 2 is always twice that : http://videogames.pricecharting.com/game/playstation/mega-man-legends-2
Tron Bonne is even more! http://videogames.pricecharting.com/game/playstation/the-misadventures-of-tron-bonne

As far as the original topic, I will name some of my favorite controllers :

Playstation official - Sony started out with a fantastic controller on the PS1. They eventually added digital thumb pads on the PSOne. It was such a great design that it made it to the PS2 and the PS3. Hopefully they dont break the mold like expected on the PS4.

Dogbone - While the NES brick is okay, its sharp edges get annoying after hours of continuous game play. With the top loader, they fixed the issue and released one of the most awesome controllers ever made. Simple, comfortable ... just great.

SNES original - Everything the Dogbone was got improved when the SNES was released.

Micro con (Mad Katz) - During the 6th gen, these controllers came out and really appealed to people with a smaller hand size. It allowed people like myself to comfortably play the Xbox.

Oh yea! I forgot the playstation 1 had a regular controller without the 2 analogs. Those were bad ass controllers for that time. And when you say dog bone, are you referring to the top loading nes???? I never really a nes top loader that much so I'm not sure

Ah. I just searched online. I do remember using that nes dog bone controller!!! I forgot all about it. Soera, can i used it on a regular nes or just the top loader?/

soera:

Cool. I got to get me one. I find quite a bit nes controllers at good will so Hopefully ill find one there. Thanks for that info and refreshing my memory. I forgot all about that. I do have the NES Advantage controller and it works okay. Its best for me for games like Dragon Warrior but not for adventures like Zelda.

As a lefty, I personally found the N64 controller to be extremely uncomfortable. Mainly because of the control stick. That thing was rough on my thumbs and wore out quickly. I did like the Z button, though.

My favorite controller has always been the one for the Gamecube (not sure if that counts as retro, though.) It's so comfortable and takes forever to wear out. The Dreamcast controller also had some interesting features.
