Favorite gamepads/controllers?
 
I'll go for Dualshock 2 being my all time favorite. I find its design both aesthetically pleasing and pretty comfortable. I also liked Sega Saturn's controller a lot.

Then there's GameCube's wave bird and SNES' controller which were both pretty cool. And I liked how NES' controller was so thick that it'd never break. I've have my NES controllers since like forever and they still work perfectly. :lol:

What about you?

For a time I was totally into the old Sega Genesis controllers, then I took to the PS2 controllers after a small amount of practice.

Let's just say that I had to get "readjusted" back to playing with the Genesis controllers again when I went back to playing with my old Genesis.

A nod goes to one of the old MadKatz controllers that I used to own - with it I could speed up my characters, and I could even use it to slow down the BGM within the game.

Nes, for its simplicity, and controls. Wii u for the controller screen, separate volume, multiple controls, tv remote, headphone jack, size, and sleekness.

I couldn't care less about all that extra flare. I'm fine with an SNES controller.

I like the N64 controller but people usually list that one as one of the "worst", of course the D-Pad is terrible. The DS "controller" or whatever you'd call it is great.

The GameCube controller is my favorite.

WiiU and 360 are good second runners.

N64's controller was revolutionary for its time, so I'd never call it one of the "worst".

A controller I didn't like from a major console... original Xbox's perhaps. Only played that console couple of times but the controller was too bulky.

It's supposed to be just couldn't. Also, you and others have stated that it is not funny, so why do you use it?
I couldn't care less about your attempts to make fun of me.

There's a reason the design has barely changed in over 20 years. Dualshock is pretty perfect.

I actually really love handhelds so Wii-U is now my fav. A controller that allows me to transfer my games to a handheld and play in my bed or take the game with me to get a drink is amazing.

I couldn't care less about your corrections.

Powder vs Esty, finally a match I can commentate on! Who's got a camera or microphone for commentary? :lol:

Might be my nostalgia talking, but I've always liked the PS2 controller and the NES controller; otherwise, even though I'm not big on them the Xbox controllers are very comfortable for me personally.

Mew 01-16-2016 06:35 PM

Powder, the sarcastic artist VS. EtsyTurtle2, the rapper with flare!
FIGHT!

Cure 01-16-2016 06:41 PM

Let's not make it a bigger deal than it is.

I guess my favorite is the 360. Super comfy.

The Deadman 01-16-2016 07:01 PM

The Genesis, Gamecube and Wii U controller are my personal preferences.

DarkFell 01-16-2016 07:17 PM

The N64 controller might take some getting used to, but it also handles well for a controller. I used to love playing OoT, Gauntlet Legends, and Rampage World Tour on my old N64 console before it died.. :tsad:

Etsyturtle2 01-16-2016 08:09 PM

Mew: Rapper. What? Just what?


And powder, I couldn't care less about the amount of caring you currently have for my posts.

I also lime the super famicom Controller. Vibrant colors.

Redeemer 01-16-2016 08:24 PM

Favorite controller would have to be xbox 360. The controller fit the hands perfectly and the ability to switch back and forth between the joy stick and d-pad was a breeze.

Worse would be the original PS3 controller the "Boomer-Rang" controller.
Who ever made the controller was high as hell. lol thankfully Playstation dropped the design when the fans outraged.

The worst controllers are by far the original Xbox and the Dreamcast ones

How much less care could a care bear stress if a care bear could care less?

I know a lot of people hated the official Dreamcast controller for its relatively small buttons and putting the cord at the bottom of the thing, but I always loved the way it felt in my hands. The big trigger grips and the analog trigger buttons... good times. Plus, it was the first controller I can remember that introduced the 2nd screen concept, even if I almost never looked at it while playing.
