Re: Worst Game Controllers of All Time
I gotta disagree with you Beirut. Intellivision was pretty cool back in the day, but the controller really was 760 different shades of left except the one you want to go. Can't say modern analog sticks are much better on that respect.
The Jag controller wasn't all that bad. Wasn't great, but it worked. Unfortunately....it connected to the Jag. One great game isn't gonna sell a system unless that game is feel-o-matic sex with supermodels.
Re: Worst Game Controllers of All Time
There was nothing at all wrong with the n64 controller.
The least favourite out of the controllers I've used is the original Xbox controller. Too large, not intuitive and actually very, very fragile.

After a while the plastic around the stick started to crumble, it wasn't very durable. Design was great though.Originally Posted by GoreBag

N64...
Worst controller ever.
Only game it was actualy Suited to was golden eye.
And then 1/2 of it was a waste of space.
"n64 controller Reason number 2. as to why my N64 is in the attick collecting dust, Reason number 1 Is becous the N64 sux. and reason number 3 is becous all but the zelda games and golden eye Sucked"
Oh yah.
the lauout of the controller ment you couldnt get to the buttons easy.
You had to keep letting go of the controller to reposition yout hand.
You couldnt have Memory and Rumble at the same time.
and the poxy joy stick in the middle would rub against the sides and eventualy snap.
All together A cheap and tacky attempt at inovation Which Miserably failed.
After the sucsess of the super nintendo's controller.
You would have imagined the n64 controller to have been more like the playstation contorllers. (basically the same)
But they shot them selfs in the foot.
if they had used a playstation style controller (i should say snes style as they came 1st)
more people would heve been inclined to buy the n64.
Purley becous the Snes was one of the if not the best selling consoles around.
So every 1 was used to the controlls.
Thats why playstation took off so well. basically same controller. with a few extra buttons.
So every 1 could pick it up easy.
Compare that to the n64 contorller.
Where buttons seemed to have been randomly placed. with no real thought of how you would push them.
And you should probably see why LOTS say the n64 contorller sux.
Out of all the buttons on the n64 on avarage 3 were used.
Purley becous the others were impossible to use mid game without having to abandon a crytical button. Or direction controll.
many people came to play on my n64...
And they all decided not to get 1 becous of the crappy games. or the bad joystick.
Sux

Re: Worst Game Controllers of All Time
Half the N64 controller was pointless, and it was uncomfy. The original Xbox one was horrific too, althought the smaller versions are great.
I can't use the PS2 ones without getting really bad cramps though.
Re: Worst Game Controllers of All Time
N64 controler IMo was great. Trigger in the right place if you know how to use it right it's proably one of the best controlers ever deisgned.

Re: Worst Game Controllers of All Time
Really? I think the PS2 controller is very comfortable.

Re: Worst Game Controllers of All Time
I must agree that the ps2 controller does indeed cause disscomfort after a while.
my middle fingers knuckels seem to take the brunt of it
Re: Worst Game Controllers of All Time
My hands are too big for it. The Xbox controller fits well, the PS2 one is just too small. Even the original Xbox one was good and comfy except I had to move my hand to get the buttons...
Re: Worst Game Controllers of All Time
N64 as a console sucked??? Wow, I have to disagree with that on so many levels
