Favorite controller

[Yoshi648]

What are your favorite controllers?

My favorites are the ones for the SNES, GameCube, DreamCast, and Wii

[LiteTheIronMan]

Wii Remote and Nunchuk, and GameCube controllers are my favorite ones.

Wii Classic Controller

[isbragg]

ASCiiWARE's Fighter Stick SN for SNES

[Cat333Pokémon]

Wii remote (for anything except using on its side), SNES, GameCube, and PlayStation (with sticks)

[GreenLiquid]

Probably Wii Remote + Nunchuk. I also like the XBox 360 controller, but that's not Nintendo so meh.

[ultrathing]

N64 Controllers pwn.
There so pointy

[NismoZ]

GameCube and SNES.

[SK]

Rock Band Drums. <3

Gamecube, Xbox (even though I hate Xbox), SNES

[OMGITSJAD]

Gamecube, Wii, and if a keyboard counts, that too

I see what you did there!

My favorite one is the Gamecube controller just because it was simple.

[Amir]

The Gamecube controller is by far the best controller. The buttons are neatly organized and easy to reach. All other controllers seem to be bulky, gimmicky, awkward to hold, or severely limited in their options.

[piexing]

It's hard to name an absolute favorite, but three of my favorites are the first-party Gamecube and Dreamcast controllers and the original Sega Genesis controller. The Gamecube controller fits the hands well and its joystick is comfortable to use for long periods of timel; the thumb doesn't slip off of it like with the Nintendo 64 and Dreamcast controllers. The Dreamcast controller seems to fit the hands perfectly, and the Genesis controller also fits the hands quite well. In addition, its D-pad is very comfortable; it's not stiff and the thumb stays in place.
I think I'd like using arcade joysticks, but I've never had any so I can't say anything about them.

[Luxray13579]

I like the Wii and SNES controllers.

[PokeRemixStudio]

Even though I've never played any Playstation consoles, I like the PS3's controller most because I prefer the layout of the buttons and nubs.

[Velociraptor78]

NES controller.
Totally Simple, Totally Organic, Totally Awesome!

[Alakazamaster]

Gamecube controller of course! The Wii controller is kinda gimmicky since it has so few buttons, and the N64 controller's joystick is too painful (anyone who has played Mario Party knows the pain that comes with the "rotate the control stick games.") The 360 controller is probably in second, but it is just a smidge heavier than the Gamecube controller and not as easy to work with in my opinion.

[SBM]

I like the N64 Controller, because it was like the best controller out there at that time

[NismoZ]

With me I'd have to say the GameCube one. It's just so easy to use. The Wii Remote has too few buttons, as Alakazam said, The SNES controller hurts your finger when doing the Wiggler Trick, and for a controller to be the best I think it has to have a control stick, something which the SNES lacks. N64 controller is too complicated. I mean 3 handles (remember, you only have 2 hands!), 9 buttons, a D-Pad and a finger-hurting control stick. The GameCube has rubber on their control stick, added another one (The C-Stick, I guess to replace the N64's C buttons), kept the D-Pad, put in double-click shoulder buttons (Comes in a lot of handy for racing games), put in 4 extra buttons, and manages to fit it all on 2 handles. X-Box and X-Box 360 controllers have the buttons the wrong way around, PS1, PS2, and PS3 have the main control stick in the wrong place (which is frustrating on Sonic Heroes). GameCube wins.

[Sub-zero]

PS3 and GC kontollers.

[TheRagingTyranitar]

Gamecube for me and SNES.

[Yellow]

A keyboard and a mouse.

In second, a gamecube controller.

[Reuniclus]

With every new gaming consule comes a new kind of controller. They can be improved controllers of past predecessors or a completely new style such as a the wiimote. My favorite controller is the Gamecube controller.

I think this kind of controller is easy to handle and use. All buttons are useful in games and are easy to use.
So what is your favorite controller? It can be any kind of controller; Wii Gamecube, PS2, Xbox 360, etc.

[NismoZ]

I hate to sound like one of "those" gamers but I personally like the Xbox 360 controller best:


It just feels nice. The grips are nice to hold, the battery pack doesn't get in your way, the triggers have little resistance, and the sticks hold your thumbs perfectly.

[TurtwigX]

These 2 are my favorites. The 360 Controller has a nice feel, the Control Stick is on line with the buttons, and the triggers feel very nice, too. I feel all in to it whenever I use this controller. And then there's the Kinect. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. What a genius idea they came up with.

[Cyrus]

I've always been a huge fan of the Gamecube controllers. They fit into my hands perfectly, and the button layout of A,B,X,Y feels natural to me.

My least favorite was the N64 controllers. Those things were way too bulky for me and the control sticks were hard to master.

[Fubab_107]

I don't think the mouse + keyboard combo counts. So if it doesn't I'd personally have to say I prefere the GameCube controller, but I do like the feel of both the 360 and Playstation controllers. Really as long as I can hit the buttons I need, I'm okay with any... Although motion controls I'm not a complet fan of.

THIS THING    

V THIS FRICKIN' THING RIGHT HERE V



The Wavebird Gamecube Wireless controller was the EPITOME of awesome controllers. AIN'T NOTHIN better than this controller. In fact, I might even make one of those "HOLY ******* ****! Is that a ******* [item]!?" posters for it.



Too bad they stopped making them. :C

[Quadcentruo]

Definitely a question I've never thought about. I'd have to say the purple GameCube controller. It looks nice and its size is perfect for people with large and small hands alike so that it easily fits into someone's hands and all the buttons and controls are within comfortable reach of your thumbs and index fingers.

Although, for visual designs only, NES is my favorite because it simply looks nice and nostalgic.

[BadboyUK]

I will have to say Xbox controller because it just semms really smooth and the buttons,anologs are well placed.

[TurtwigX]

And to get off the topic of console controllers, my favorite handheld control scheme! (Even though there's only about 8 or 9 to choose from)
The 3DS is my favorite because, again, the Circle Pad is on line with the basic ABXY buttons, and the circle pad is really comforting to me. Switching to the D-Pad when necessary is nice, the (sometimes nonfunctional) shoulder buttons feel a bit better slightly popped out, and the Start and Select buttons, while it might take some getting used to, are conveniently placed and have the Home button wedged in there smoothly, too. The only thing I wish they could change is the position of the Mic. Most people don't even know it's there.

[Arceus is Epic]

I've never truly thought of this before. I'd say N64 and Gamecube because I grew up with those, Wiimote and Nunchuck for presentation, and S/NES controllers because of nostalgia.

[TurtwigX]

Oh, the nostalgia route. I guess I could take that and go on to say how good my PlayStation DualShock controller is, but it isn't at all. I think all PS controllers suck and feel awkward in my hands. But one thing that was handy about them was the button to turn off the large and sometimes annoying Analog Sticks.
Following nostalgia, the one I'd have to say was the best is the GameCube. It feels good, especially the perfect Wavebird, and if any Wii game has GameCube compatibility, I'm all over it.

[blueumbreon]

I think my favorite controller is this beast right here:


I like it because it feels really nice in my large hands. Also, it's so unique, how could you not love it?

[Velociraptor78]

My favorite old-school controller is the SNES controller, followed in second by the NES controller. My favorite modern controllers are the Wii's Classic Controller and the PS2 controller.

The Kinect is not a controller. :U

While you are right, the Kinect itself is not a controller, YOU are the controller. But since I wasn't going through the hassle of taking a picture of myself, I settled for the motion device instead.
