I'm gonna quote my old post from February for this one:
I'm hoping the new GC Classic Controller will be just as good.
Quote:Anyway, the Gamecube controller is the closest controller to perfect that I can think of, but it has a few flaws that keep it from there.
The overall size and shape are perfect and feel great in your hands, though a Gamecube controller made with these improvements would be perfect:
- L1 button to compliment Z's R1 functionality (seriously, why would you NOT make this symmetrical?)
- Analog L and R buttons, (as they are they're just spring-loaded regular buttons) but still with that satisfying click when they're pressed all the way down
- L3/R3 stick click functionality
- Select (and Home for modern consoles, I guess) button next to start
- Slightly bigger D-Pad
- Consider putting the face buttons back in the standard cross shape
...so in other words, a Gamecube-shaped/sized 360 controller, I guess.
If the GC didn't exist, the 360 controller would be the best.
If it had a D-Pad from a PS Vita or a DS Phat and reworked L1/R1 (fuck that "Bumper" shit) buttons so that they feel better/give a better tactile response when pressing them, it would be perfect.
I'm hoping the new GC Classic Controller will be just as good.
