The Gamecube controller was unfairly criticized and is actually one of the most ergonomic and well-designed controllers ever made

[George Lucas]

That's one autistic overreaction. I don't even see the sense in supporting any console developer these days since they are all absolutely awful, Nintendo included. Unless you've enjoyed the last 2 decades buying the same Pokemon/Fire Emblem games twice, as well as shilling for a company that is even more draconic over their IP than Disney.

I kinda want to point out that's my entire point is you doing a retarded comparison in the first place, but that was one autistic post. Even with the "I made you a wojak" unironic meme.

You must be a butthurt sperg if you’re injecting Nintendohate for no reason. Fire Emblem had one iteration with multiple versions and unlike Pokémon each version plays very differently, buying them feels pretty close to buying unique games outright. It’s like criticizing Majora’s Mask for using the same engine as OOT and being sold at full price. It doesn’t make sense as an argument. Three Houses basically sold you three games for the price of one, although it’s not as varying as Fates, but it’s still a ton of content for the same price as minor COD update 2024. The latest game, Engage, doesn’t even have a multiple game premise at all. Btw, have you even played Fire Emblem? Each game has different mechanics so things change up a lot. The basic premise stays the same, but you can’t use the same strategies in different games at all. The class setup, skills, and special mechanics like pair-ups are too different. You’d have a better time arguing that something like Mega Man or Tekken is the same shit over and over.

It's ugly as shit. Purple on top of that.

The GameCube controller gave me tiny banzai tree hands... it's comfortable for me though.

Omg chill the fuck out. I’m not challenging you. I’m just correcting your mistake and my comments on the SFC face buttons have nothing to do with your post. I literally agree with you that the DualShock is an SFC controller with sticks and extra buttons tacked on with little thought.

you're wasting your time. he's the green version of an applefag. it's it's not microsoft it's shit, leading to retarded statements like "following nintendo" when nintendo literally had every possible gamepad layout for their controllers. if you disagree you're sonygger or whatever he picked up on /v/ to collect wojaks, ironically outing him as a massive newfag since xniggers were fucking loathed on /v/ till they moved over to the "new cool" console ps4 and became the retarded brandwhores we all know and love now.

as for little thought, pick up a SFC controller, where are your fingers? where are your thumbs? if you want to add buttons and analog sticks, where would you put them? especially in 1997 when analog was still more than a gimmick, thus replacing the d-pad position with an analog stick would be retarded, on top the ergonomical issues the gamecube controller also suffers from. the wii classic controller is basically a SFC controller with sticks tacked on, in the same place sony put them 10 years earlier.

I want to round up all the nerds in this thread and teargas them.

the question is, would you do it with a gamecube controller yes/no?

It might be that I am getting older, but I have the problem that no matter which controller I use, my pinky and ring fingers on both hands go numb after a while. The first time I experienced that sensation was with the GC controller, when the console was relatively new.

I need to check if I still have my Duke somewhere. Despite it being chunky, I loved that thing.

you could try to turn your wrist differently and/or use silicone sleeves to make the grip bigger

it was the horrendous quality of the control stick and the games that forced you to spin the control stick really fast, Mario 64, Mario Party 1,

you mean the only game?

I have some Nintendo-licensed HORI USB pads which are great because they fix some of the GameCube's issues like missing buttons, but I still don't think it's a great controller. It's fine for SSBM, but not good for other games where the X and Y buttons are important (here they're tiny bean-shaped buttons), or even in older games (I'm playing the PC port of OoT with the pad and like Collector's Edition the C-stick makes the controls a good deal slippier than they should be).

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

It really needed one more Z button to be so good that it could even be used today. That one oversight unfortunately limits it to it's own library, plus future SSB games. But for what it was, it felt amazing and worked very well. It's still a favorite.

I think PS2 still has the overall best controller because it has every button necessary, plus it doesn't have those retarded triggers that hang off the back and have resistance to them, making mashing them impossible. You ever try mashing L2 on PS3 or later consoles? You can't do it, it's like it was designed solely for FPS games.

Gamecube controller is made for sissies with baby hands. THE DUKE is the only gamepad made for real men.

Fuck those little black and white cocksuckers. I cannot tell you how many times I would either mix them up or miss pressing them entirely. Trying to play The Punisher with this piece of shit was a nightmare.
