I'll be getting a Wii, if not to try out the controller then to play SNES games on its virtual console. That oughta clear up some guilt from downloading so many ROMs.

For you SNES lovers out there, one of the first party add ons will be a controller that looks like a cross between a SNES controller and a PS controller.

The new one actually might be good like the N64 titles. Every other game was pretty lameschool though.

As far as that controller goes, I've already decided a while back that I'll probably just prefer a cheap, used 5 dollar GC controller instead.

When I get a Wii I'll be paying $200 for the controller and will get the system as a nice bonus. That's how much I love SNES style controllers. I hope they come out with a controller converter within the first two weeks of its release so I can use it to play Guilty Gear too.

The PS2 controller isn't that bad. It's better certainly than the X-Box controllers, and is even with the Gamecube controller for me.

I concur, the XBOX controller rocks way, way harder than the PS2 controller. Talking about the S-Style, but the way. Let's keep retarded "LOL HUGE CONTROLLER!" (although the originals were huge) to a minimum.

SNES: shitty d-pad

PS2: Also a shitty d-pad (can't stand how it's so stiff and segmented) but improves slightly on the SNES' controller by adding little handles and later, analog sticks.

And yes, I know I misused concur.

I have never met an X-box controller that I liked. The positioning of the extra analog sticks and the white and black buttons drove me insane. It was a big reach to the sticks, and the tiny-ass white and black buttons were hard to find under the primary 4 buttons.

tsar · « **Reply #30 on:** September 19, 2006, 07:37:41 am »

The left analog stick is right where the PS2's dpad is, so I'm not sure what stretch you're talking about, but I totally agree about the black and white buttons. They should have just made those secondary triggers, or not have had them at all.

I cant stand the XBOX controller. I have big hands but I still have trouble playing without worrying if my thumbs can reach the buttons or not.

I tried playing SF3 at a friend's house, and I had trouble playing with the D-Pad, so I ended up having to use the analog (and analog is horrible, I can't play for shit with an analog stick).

Then it's the d-pad that's located further in. I had the positions of the d-pad and left analog switched.

you FUCKING COMMIE

SNES controller bad d-pad? it effing INVENTED the d-pad, and it hasn't been surpassed or even equalled since.
Okay teh NES did, but the SNEs perfected it.

X-Box's d-pad is like a wobbly vagina. Only less soggy.

Spaceworlder · « **Reply #34 on:** September 19, 2006, 07:06:17 pm »

The Xbox's D-pad is awesome. It's just like the Genesis pad, which allowed for seamless use of all eigh directions.

I have an SNES and the d-pad sucks balls. I like my d-pads loose (Dreamcast, Genesis (maybe? haven't played on one in a while), XBOX))(like said vagina) and in a single piece, which is why I hate the PS styled d-pad.

I do agree about the positioning of the d-pad on the XB controller though, it would have rocked more if it was positioned like the PS', but a few centimeters away from usual isn't too bad. Most games take advantage of analog controls these days anyways, so that's probably why it's like that.

Personally, I don't really like the circular d-pads. They are better for smoother movements, but I remember on my old Genesis, I often kept unintentionally hitting the diagonal directions. I think my fingers/hands are a bit larger than most people's, so I bump the other buttons a lot. It was particularly frustrating when I played Rocket Knight Adventures and needed to boost in a certain direction to avoid something fatal (man, I want to play that game again now, it was fun... =3). But I guess if you want smooth movement, stick to the analog sticks instead of the d-pads if you can.

I kinda liked the Gamecube controller's button layout. The big A-button fit my thumb perfectly, and the B, X, and Y-buttons were close to it so you could easily reach them, yet raised higher than most other controller buttons so that you didn't accidentally bump them. I also liked the idea of the analog shoulder buttons, where they're pressure-sensitive, but unfortunately the sensitivity only seemed to apply to the first several games that came out for the Cube, like Luigi's Mansion and Star Wars: Rogue Leader. Afterwards, it was problematic to have to jam all the way down on the L and R-buttons to activate them in some games. =/

My problem with the Gamecube controller is that it's D-Pad is this small.

I agree with you there. I don't see why they had to shrink it so much... the rest of the controller seemed okay to me, although i kinda wondered why they didn't add a second left shoulder button - the Z-button kinda made the controller a bit lopsided without a similar button on the opposite side. O_o;

Oh yeah, I DO have another small complaint about the Cube controller - is it me, or did the adhesive that held the controller together tend to melt out of the seams after a while from the heat of your hands?? I've had to scrape that crap off the handles several times.
