Best and worst designed video game consoles/controllers

[Witchyjoshy]

But since you've decided that you needed to post how terrible you think post-Gamecube Nintendo is at every single god damn vaguely-relevant opportunity, I think I'm entitled to my snark.

I guess you can if you really want to. It's only making you sound quite petty and passive-aggressive. But hey, your life.

Considering we are on a site dedicated to mocking fundies behind their backs, that's actually kind of a compliment, I'd think.

But hey, I'll lay off if you lay off, dig?

Those transparent PlayStation knockoffs from Mad Catz. My best friend had a couple and they never worked right.

If by "lay off", you mean abandon this asinine argument, sure. However, if you're asking me to not mention my distaste for certain Nintendo consoles, particularly in a thread about comparing consoles, I don't think that's going to happen.

MadCatz?  Pthhhh.  Pelican is where it's at, dude!


Anyway, I rather like the Wii Remote (WiiMote, whatever).  Paired with the nunchuck it really made Skyward Sword...   Of course maybe I should judge based on more than one game...

All consoles suck equally.

I'm still sad I had to sell my GC for rent money... I liked that controller.

And the N64 controller, while WEIRD, worked, too.

Best Console : PS3, particularly the 60GB model I use, since it lets me play PS2 AND PS1 games on it with impunity. And the controller is pretty good too.

Worst Console : Come on, this far in, and no one mentions the infamous Virtual Boy, with it's "IT'LL PUT YOUR EYE OUT, KID" red and black graphics system? Atari 5600 is a close second.

Controllers: I actually liked the PS2 controllers, but the PS3 ones are pretty good too.

Worst controllers: I really didn't like the Xbox controllers myself. But then, I am biased, since I mainly play Sony.

The original Xbox controller would be one of the worst if I didn't have big hands. I don't know how, say, a child is supposed to play anything with it.

I used to love the N64 controller back in the day, until when I recently tried using one again and my hand's could barely fit between those prong things to use the analogue stick.  Which is weird, because my hands were fatter when the N64 came out than they are now.
