What do you think about the GameCube controller? Do you like it...or loath it?

Will definetely check it out tonight. Any new Atari 2600 or XBOX (original) videos in the planning stages?

I've been itching to go back and do some Atari 2600 videos again... Also, I love the original Xbox and will revisit that as well.

Thats great! Will look forward to those! The original XBOX is so underappreciated for such a great system.......I love it too. I do see it catching on with collectors here soon though.......better get those cheap games while you can!

The GameCube controller is the most comfortable controller ever. It melts into your hands like a warm stick of butter. Not perfect for every game, but super comfortable.

Tales of Symphonia is good, but Dawn of the New World (the Wii sequel) really disappointed me.

I think the Wavebird controllers (wireless) are hidden Gamecube gems. We still use one all the time (play GCN games on Wii). The other one got worn out somehow. Wonder why Nintendo doesn't still make something like this - or do they?

I wasn't fond of the trigger buttons or the Z button, they are a little too stiff.

[Hydro Thunder]

I hate nearly every single Nintendo made controller except for the GC one, and I am bonkers in love with it. I love the one big button, I love how the triggers fit my hands, I love the analog sensitivity. I find myself constantly trying to find more good GC games to use it with, and using it a lot on the Wii if a game is compatible with it. It's possibly in my top five of all time (and I have played with hundreds of controllers for various systems in my time). Right up there with the Sega Genesis 6-button controller. Just love it.

The GameCube controller seemed slightly small for my hands. I also didn't care for the unconventional button layout and would have preferred Nintendo's traditional ABXY button layout, the mini d-pad (Although it actually works right unlike two generations worth of Microsoft d-pads), the two stage trigger design they used which made finesse in racing games impossible (Which also weren't comfortable over lengthy play sessions in racing games for my fingers), the C stick was too small for my taste and I'd of preferred a stick identical to the primary analog stick, and the Z button was inconvenient.

 

Despite all of that though, I'd still consider it a very good gamepad. I'm glad that the 360 converted me into a wireless controller fan since it was just as Wavebirds were disappearing. Got one and wish I had picked up all they had the last time I ever saw any Wavebirds new. Hoping if I ever have problems with something like a worn out stick that I can just swap one in from a wired controller to take its place.

 

The only thing that keeps the Wavebird from being a 100% replacement for a wired gamepad is the lack of rumble.
