Unpopular opinion, but the GCN controller is so comfy, the bumpers fit so well in my fingers
Unpopular? That’s crazy talk!
I mean, what other controller could you buy new almost twenty years later?
I have to agree, in terms of ergonomics I find the GCN controller to be the best
The ABXY layout was really nice. With the modern standard, there is often some mix up as to which button is “accept” and which is “cancel”. The GameCube controller, with its big Mashable A button left nothing to interpretation. The X and Y buttons were comfortably placed as well.
Oh lord yes the GameCube controller is pure sex. Only way to play smash :) Amongst all other attributes people have mentioned, love the walls of the analog stick, it feels so much better not having a smooth smooshy full globe of movement, I want to smash that shit in a direction and feel hard contact
Beat me to it. Modern controllers are fine, but the art of controller design peaked with the GameCube.
Everyone in this thread gets an upvote. It wasn't until a few years ago when I soft modded my Wii to start playing GameCube games that I held the controller again. Damn! That is such a comfortable controller. It's still my favourite of all of them.
It’s so true for me that I have Gamecube controllers for Wii U and Nintendo Switch. Recently I bought a Joycon-like that mimics the GC controller. It’s awesome!
How Is this unpopular ?!
I was a Ps guy at the time, but my friend had the GC. As soon as I tried the controller I felt in love with it. To this day I still think that GC controller is the most ergonomic controller I've ever held.
Definitely not "unpopular". I agree 100%; GCN controller has been the best for a good 22+ years, somehow.
I loved my Wavebird. It was so comfortable, and the wireless worked really well. It was a bit chunky, but I didn't care.
