Let's be real: this controller looks like shit, but it's comfy and on top of that it has 2 unique features that any other controller had during its generation:
>Dual stage triggers.
>Octagonal gate
On the other hand, this controllers is missing:
>L1 or White button.
GameCube has just one bumper button: DualShock 2 has both and Duke/S compensate it with White and Black buttons.
>No Select/Back
>No L3/LS & R3/RS

Tendie faggots on /vr/ swear it’s the “perfect” controller for Super Smash Bros. and Super Monkey Ball. Bullshit. A modern Pro Controller or Boxx works just as well, and anyone who’s played Super Monkey Ball on Xbox knows that octagonal gate is pure tendie retardation.

The GameCube’s weird-ass layout screwed it over. Devs couldn’t port games easily (mini DVD aside), and some, like True Crime, ended up with controls jankier than a drunk toddler. I grew up with a GameCube, and only Metroid Prime and Super Mario Sunshine really vibe with this thing.

The octagonal gate? Retarded. And those dual-stage triggers? Cool idea, poor execution. You gotta pull the trigger fully to hit the digital click. In Metroid, you aim with the analog pull and shoot with the click, but you can’t shoot without aiming down sights (ADS). Map shoot to A? Sure, but using your thumb instead of your index kills immersion. Super Mario Sunshine tried fixing this by flipping it: pull to shoot water, click to aim in third-person. Still, you’re forced into extra inputs. Their “fix”? Add a first-person aim with another button. Two actions, three buttons: pure retardation 'fixing' a problem you created just for the sake of it.

I'm aware that even Nintendo knows this controller is for retards; this is the reason why they don't even care about analog triggers at all but even with that, I believe there's a genre or a game that justify this retardation, but I haven't seen it. Which is it?

ok

what you overlook is the face button layout, which could be perfect for Tony Hawk (sans the shit dpad) and was perfect for Kirby air ride
Other than that its puree zoomenial autism

I just like how it feels, simple as
3rd party options add the missing buttons

>what you overlook is the face button layout
I mentioned how bad it was for multiplats like True Crime.
I played THPS a lot but I can't figured it out... I mean: would you mind to share with us how you think it could be perfect for THPS?
>>11806596
>I just like how it feels, simple as
I mean, yes, I find it comfy too, I like how it feels and on top of that this is my first console, don't take me wrong, but: Comfortable ≠ Perfect.

Possibly SSBM? That's one game where people still cling to a GCN controller the hardest, to the point where Nintendo took notice and had been re-issuing them along with adapters and providing direct support for the controller in Smash Bros titles.

Tendies are so quiet

F-Zero GX

>>11806649
Not OP, but even smash autists need to mod their controllers for that game. Pic related is just one of the mods they do. Honestly, the only game I enjoyed playing with the GC controller is Resident Evil 4, and even that can be a pain when you have to mash the B button.

for what purpose? meleefags?

>>11807067
Interpolation bugs and preference to directional inputs off center over neutral inputs in 45 degree arcs

>>11807090
If you need this much help playing a game, maybe the game is just poorly designed

>>11807137
You don’t need this to play the game, you need this to effectively play at a level good enough to compete with the top .001% of players

>>11807141
Meanwhile you can be competitive in every single other fighting game out there with the same ancient stick that Namco advertised for Tekken 2

I thought that bullshit about *GameCube has besto controller* was a /vr/ joke: a sarcastic way to make fun of it.

Perhaps the worst Nintendo controller... I haven't tried a Virtual Boy. N64 is dogshit too but at least it innovates with its analog stick.

>Which genre/game takeS the most advantage out of the NGC controller?
0, not even Iwata could defend this lame ass controller.

*GCN

I can't believe the GameCube controller actually happened. That shit sucks major ass.

Tendies are the loudest but even with that they are so quiet since this thread dropped

>>11806575 (OP)
Rogue Leader and Rebel Strike made extremely good use of the throttle function of the trigger buttons.

>>11808505
You think that's bad, you should have seen the N64 controller. It was one of the reasons Sony took such a massive shit all over Nintendo back then.

>>11806575 (OP)
I am pretty curious what game people think make good use of the controller. I feel Kojima did an amazing job on the games that his name on it with the PS2 pad and every racing game and FPS feels slick and clean on Xbox but apart from the same old octagonal gate memes I haven't seen anyone really pitch the GC pad to me convincingly.

>>11807067
Yeah, all because of that bug exploit called wavedashing

To be fair I couldn't care less about its triggers, for me all that matters is its comfiness and that's why I believe it is the best controller of its generation and one of the greatest ever made. If any of you have a problem I don't care.

>>11806575 (OP)
>3 shoulder buttons
Fuck were they thinking with this bullshit?

F-Zero GX is pretty good with it. Same with N64 controller for F-Zero X.

>The GameCube’s weird-ass layout screwed it over
???? It has a very conventional layout. The strangest thing are the face buttons, but they make sense if you think about it. Your thumb is centered over the most commonly used button and the other 3 are equidistant, unlike using the X button on Playstation controller.

Look, Nintendo shaped my childhood, therefore they can't do no wrong and I'll always defend them, even when it's irrational and wrong, ok?

>>11806639
It makes it easier to hold the grind button without releasing the ollie button, pretty niche but still technically a perk

>>11806575 (OP)
There are games that play well with it, but those games play better with a normal-ass PS2 controller.
I guess playing Zelda with it feels good.

>>11806575 (OP)
I like the face buttons. You can shift back and forth between shooting and ducking for hours without tiring your fingers in P.N.03.

The Nintendo game genre.
