They are poorly shaped but they feel nice.

N64 were better, but they're basically the same so whatever

Somehow it has the worst triggers though

If you can't slam with the best, then jam with the rest.

gamecube controller is by far the best console controller ever created, just makes the wii remote even more maddening knowing that they discontinued the GCN controller for that

hori pad the best


too bad it could only be used by games that used the D-Pad though. Got lots of use for Ikaruga, CvSNK2 and Viewtiful Joe 1/2!

B button needed to be bigger, and there were some games that didn't really think about how hard it would be to press the X button and something else really quickly or at the same time, but the shapes were great.

<3<3<3 GCN's face buttons, I'm depressed that we'll never be able to use them again when next gen starts.


Ugh, playing the new Smash without GCN's face buttons is going to be so sad :'(

hopefully Layton can make it into the 3DS version.

Being a handheld character he probably has no shot at the Wii U version

The Gamecube controller is amazing. Everything feels perfect - the face buttons are great, the sticks are great, the dpad is great. My only complaint about the GC controller is that the pressure-sensitivity on the shoulder buttons makes them feel too bulky in some games, but it's a minor complaint. It's easily the best controller with an analog stick ever made.

let's not go overboard, guys. gc does not have a good dpad!

two out of the last three Mega Man games have been console only, what are you talking about

and since my last post didn't make it clear enough, I think the Gamecube controller is actually kinda bad. It does work for Smash, I'll give it that much

Gamecube controller isn't really that great overall. The shoulder buttons are really bad (Z Button included), the C Stick is a bad idea, and the DPad is absolutely awful. The face button layout is bad, though that's not all that big of a deal. It's alright and there are some great things about it, but it falls in too many places.

This topic was mostly just about how good the buttons feel, and how its just silly that most buttons have a lot give to them.

You could definitely make the argument that downloadable only titles have more in common with handheld games than console games.

They do feel great. Not a big fan of the controller in general though.

GCN controller has the best shape of any controller and it's not even close, it fits the hands so much better than the dual shock or xbox S/360 pad it's ridiculous. not only is it much more comfortable playing with a standard grip it's even very comfy to claw, which is something I can't say about ANY other controller. analog stick is kind of middle of the road admittedly, can't say I care about it having a mediocre d-pad either since modern games tend to not emphasize it. it's also fairly easy to take the springs out of the triggers for games where that is advantageous which is nice

I don't know why you brought up Mega man though. While Layton is a 3rd party character, he's published by Nintendo outside of Japan and he's remained exclusive to Nintendo platforms. His chances are a lot better than Mega Man!

Plus he was already a sticker in Brawl!

I guess this is different for everyone because the shape is terrible for me. The grips are so thin, they are practically useless, but I don't mind much because I normally just hold controllers using the pressure of my hands vs actually gripping them.

But the worst part is the sticks. The main stick is so flimsy and the plastic spiky top is not comfortable. It makes a cool sound when it's all clackity clack, but still. The C-stick is ****ing bad. It's too small, and it feels completely different from the main stick, so there's no real synergy in control there. D-pad is bad, like you mentioned. You can't even click in the sticks, either.

But the worst part for me really is the shoulder buttons. The triggers are SO terrible squeeze in. It's like an entire centimeter you need to squeeze to get it completely in. The Z button is just sitting there all alone, too, making you use your right middle finger for the right trigger when you might want to use your index finger.

Face buttons are fine, but that's it. They aren't even analog. Honestly I don't know why this isn't a standard already. Maybe Sony patented it or something? Because IIRC, only the DS2 and 3 have analog face/shoulder buttons. Sure, pretty much only MGS actually uses the analog functions, but it's great to have that.

it definitely is going to change depending on your hand shape, to me it fits like a glove though. I'd rank them GCN > 360 > whatever sony calls its controller now, the grips on sony controllers are terrible IMO

But the worst part is the sticks. The main stick is so flimsy and the plastic spiky top is not comfortable

it wears down with use pretty badly, it's actually tighter than the dual shock in new condition as I recall, but can become very loose where I haven't had that kind of breakdown with sony or MS' controllers, or with the wiichuk

But the worst part for me really is the shoulder buttons. The triggers are SO terrible squeeze in. It's like an entire centimeter you need to squeeze to get it completely in

I think the 360 pad has the best triggers, really don't like the bumpers though, even worse than the Z button in their inconvenience IMO

Face buttons are fine, but that's it. They aren't even analog. Honestly I don't know why this isn't a standard already. Maybe Sony patented it or something?

I don't think so since MS also uses analog buttons, but who knows

already imagining the possibilities!

yeah, those are spring loaded like the gamecube except there's no annoying clicky thing, it's much smoother and you never have that delay of separate "full click" commands. admittedly I shouldn't have listed "removeable springs" as a benefit to the gamecube because it's bad that some games even had that much to gain from it...

D-Pad awful
C-Stick awful
Shoulders awful
Plenty of games use more than one button as their main action button, so face buttons awful for those
Has less buttons overall, compared to PS2/XBox
Cable was kinda short

Analog face buttons is pretty much exactly what this topic is against. They're entirely unnecessary and just make you take longer to fully depress the button.
