What is your favorite controller?

[Valcos]

Only? It hurt the fingure way to much play smash bros for like 8 hours straight. The analog would dig into my thumb and hurt it!  Plus playing duke nukem on it was almost impossible

[Blizzard]

That's true, excessive playing could be a pain: Mario Party. #_#

Of course the DDR pad is the most preferred, but how many people have Cobalt Fluxes at their house? 

If anyone does, you do.

But back to the point.  I look more for functionality then feel, and who can argue with motion control!
Or maybe I'm just a Boom Blox addict.

Lol... isnt wii getting that motion+ stuff? So its more motionable?

[Diokatsu]

Motion control has potential but it's not relized at all. No one is close to seeing what it can really do. And no one has the genius to see people want a sit down standard controller version/mode of the game as well. Motion control is like a unripe fruit. Hopefully this fruit doesn't rot upon exposure to the air once it ripens x_x

We cna always solve that problem with lemons though :V?

"The Wii controller suggestively took off its jacket because it wanted to be free from Nintendo's clutches. It spoke to the Nunchuk in a seductive tone..."

Oh gosh...I don't like the sound of that...

At least they are trying and giving an effort to make something innovative to the market. Motion control isn't optimal, but it's there, and as it is there it can still provide a help (i.e. Being healthy). If Pokol likes it, I can see reason why to. XD

[Diokatsu]

Since when has Nintendo NOT been innovative?

I think the newest releases were all a bust. X-box has no blue-ray, PS3 was too damn expensive to buy and to manufacture games for, and the Wii has yet to be the awesome system it could be.

[Valcos]

Lol what was the controller that was like a wheel or something you spin? It was like for pong or something 

[Starrodkirby86]

You mean those knobs you turn around to move as your control stick, before the joystick became a staple in the Game Industry? If so, then that's the Magnavox Odyssey, or The Brown Box. It's one of the first consoles to be created (I'm pretty sure it is, Fairchild Channel F came later). Odyssey did have a game of PONG and such, so this must be what you are speaking about.

[Valcos]

Lol... yeah Knew you would know . I never actually played on it before but just was going to bring it up because of the classicality? of it

[Starrodkirby86]

Spoiler: ShowHide

Just think how you would play Etch-a-Sketch game-wise. That's basically what the Odyssey is. The games were really poor though, it was mostly dots and all, only changeable with overlays (Apparently PONG is Hockey once you put a blue overlay on your TV... )

Now THIS is one of the WORST controllers ever to face on the Video Game Industry. The Atari 7800's joystick was an instant fail, as the joystick "flops" over, making commands hard to execute.

[Valcos]

Lmao... that was the most horrible controller ever  . Never understood why the joystick was made like that  such a stupid design...

[Blizzard]

I agree. That Atari controller was terrible. #_#

[Diokatsu]

* Diokatsu liked that controller ;_;

[Starrodkirby86]

There's always the one that wards off from the rest of the group, i.e. the one that thinks differently. That's a good and bad thing.

The worst brand in my opinion that manufactures controllers though is MadCatz. Anyone concur? It's not a favorite subject here, but I definitely believe MadCatz soiled these favorite controllers.
