--- Quote from: sworddude on October 06, 2016, 02:40:51 am ---So much hate for the gamecube controller. In my opinion one of the better if not the best controller ever made. D pad wise sure but for all the other stuff I heavily disagree. --- End quote --- I don't hate the controller like I do the N64 controller. But I can definitely see where improvements are needed. The D-Pad is terrible. Which really sucks when using it for the Game Boy Player, or 2D games. And the triggers at the top of the controller push in way too deep. It would be a lot easier if you could just tap them. Plus, what's with the weird shaped action buttons? |

So, your thumb will naturally be resting over the button you use the most (A), leaving just a small rotation needed to press the the other buttons rather than completely moving your thumb. It's actually a pretty comfortable setup when you play a game that understands the controller's philosophy (but those that don't want you to do crap like pressing B and X at the same time). |

The gameboy player is an add on, the gamecube controller was never meant to be used for gameboy games, also in the regular games the D pad is barely used just sometimes for gimmicks. The gamecube is a 3D console after all, the games that I own are all 3D games except for capcom vs snk only 1 of very few games, the controller is made for 3D games wich it is perfect for, there are barely any good classic 2D games on the gamecube. |

For the classic 2D games I agree but there are barely any classic 2D games on the gamecube, the better games are 3D games wich the controller is made for. And Excellent 2D games like smash bros work perfectly with this controller. |
