Always hated the controller (never owned one so never got used to it) but pretty sure I remember some old smash buddies dying by the D-pad.
The GC controller is amazing. I like my Switch Pro and Xbox controllers for pc but neither is as good as the GC controller. It just flows perfectly.
Except for situations when minimal distance between B and Y is required.
It always felt very ergonomic to me. Also those things could take a beating and keep on rocking.
Yeah, that was a weird one. Could be the big N thought that two would be too similar to the Dualshock.
See, I miss this. I liked being able to "lock" in a direction and move exactly where I wanted to go- you didn't have to push perfectly accurately on the stick to move in any of the eight compass directions.
Remember, this was a time before the twin-stick FPS formula had been nailed down (c.f. the controls for the original Metroid Prime compared to the Switch remaster) so the C-stick was probably intended to not be used that often- just a logical evolution of the C-Buttons from the N64. Besides, who doesn't love nipples? :-)
Yep.
Other than needing a left shoulder bumper (which third-party controllers using this layout for the Switch offer), I think it’s perfect. Massive primary A button with a smaller B next to it and the X/Y buttons on the shoulders of the primary button makes excellent placement to me. It’s extra useful when moving between Xbox and Nintendo since they swap the order of the buttons.
Yep, if Nintendo released a new console with a GCN controller with two shoulder buttons on each side, perfection would finally be achieved.
kinda weird how Nintendo is against the classic smash community but still made a product that caters towards them
Playing smash on a different controller just feels wrong.
