For me it goes like this:

Gamecube controller= comfiest by far but L/R shoulder buttons suck arse and feel like they won't last.

PS2 controller= can be used ok for just about any game type, love the analogue buttons(can be used as either just buttons or as analogues for driving games etc so therefore more functional) but VERY uncomfortable over time

Xbox controller= The smaller one is a big improvement but they are still shaped for looks over comfort and the buttons are completely SHIT (click, click, click). Analogue triggers are good though.

Dreamcast controller= much like the xbox without the shit buttons

64 controller= best of all but stick wears out way too quick.

I find most of the people who say the GC controller sucks haven't actually held one, IMO the PS2 controller is designed for japanese kids (too small) while the xbox one is desinged for rugby players.

Also you will notice both the xbox and PS2 controllers cause you to contort your wrists to hold it and reach all the buttons while the GC contoller has your hand in a "thumbs up" position (

I think this sums it up well.

I actually love the Gamecube controller, although it lacks versatility, what with it not having a standard 4 button layout (making it hard to play games that weren't designed for the gamecube).

Anyway, about Nintendo. I love them. They're the greatest company in the world. You know why? 'cuz they don't give a shit about you whiny shits! They make awesome innovative systems along with fun and interesting games and to hell with the consequences!

WANTED_AE86, the DS is doing remarkably well in Japan, so I hear. As for the N64, that system was great. The problem with the 2D graphics was probably a software problem, possibly made by Nintendo, but probably made by the people who ported the game. As mentioned earlier, the N64 controller was used as a template for their joystick control on other systems.
Sure, Nintendo has had some mistakes, but when you're on the leading edge, you're always going to make some mistakes. Easy for Sony, Microsoft etc to laugh at Nintendo’s blunders, when they're sitting behind the 8 ball, waiting for Nintendo to market test all the latest ideas and figure out what works.

Also, Mr DOHC, the Sega Dreamcast was a great system. I'm not sure why it didn't do so well. Probably a marketing thing.

I still stand by my statement that the X-Box is crap. Halo 2 was boring as hell (but it was pretty). And why would I bother buying a keyboard + mouse combo for my consol, just to play some game that I could buy for the PC anyway?
