Controller Experiences

[Crappy Blue Luigi]

My worst experience was of course the N64 controller. There was no comfortable way to hold the damn thing. If you held it like a PS1 controller, you couldn't reach the analog stick with your thumb, but if you held if from the middle, then the d-pad and L button was out of the question. How in the world did this design get finalized?

were there even any games that required you to use the analog stick and the L button

i've actually found the n64 controller to be super comfortable for snes games (emulated, obviously). its dpad is much better than the snes controller's dpad, and the button layouts are generally the same from there.

for me, the best 2D controller is a tie between the n64 controller and the ps1 controller. for 3d, you can't beat the gamecube controller.
