NES - neat, simple, user-friendly, and classic SNES - Introduced shoulder buttons, a staple in gaming controllers today. Still fairly simple and user friendly N64 - Clusterf**k of buttons, three handels. Awkward as hell Gamecube - Better than the N64, but still a ton of buttons and sticks Wii - Motion control was a neat idea at first. Emphasis on AT FIRST. SNES gets my vote ------------- http://bit.ly/1kqTR8y" rel="nofollow">  The greatest record label of all time! |

| I've tried Gamecube and N64, and bought a Wii for the kids (mostly). I love Zelda. I would have got a Sony system had it not been for the kids which was the same price on sale, but a much better system. The Wii's is not the best motion control out there, but I find motion control excellent. I get a real work-out with various games -- especially Wii Sports, and found the controls much better for Zelda's Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword than playing Ocarina of Time on N64 (I'm most used to the Wii controls, though, and didn't try N64 until after having a Wii). |

| SNES - Simple and dynamic without being overly complex - plus it fits in your hand splendidly. Really, all the modern controllers are expansions on that one pristine design. Hell, even the Wii controller + nunchuk is merely the Sness controller split in half and connected by a cord. Well, kind of. |

SNES had the most ergonomic design and was an ideal balance between complexity and pragmatics for console gaming.

Absolutely love the iconic NES Nintendo controller! I've read how many industry people regarded it as one of the worst ergonomic controllers, but I never had a problem with it!
The NES is still my favourite game machine, I snap up cheap games for it all the time!

Anyone who has played Zelda Skyward Sword with Wii Motion Plus will know how amazing it is.
But because Zelda Ocarina of Time was played with that one, I choose the N64 controller. -------------

N64 controller Okay, but seriously I love the Gamecube controller and the console itself is just classic - I grew up on that thing.  The N64 is my favourite out of the systems though. Donkey Kong 64, anyone? -------------

Wii. I have PS3 Move and it is not as accurate. Yeah, I know, the made the hand held controller what it is today ( for all systems). But the Wii is the only reason I would by anything nntendo. ------------- https://www.last.fm/user/Tapfret" rel="nofollow">  https://bandcamp.com/tapfret" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp |

Hell yeah!
I have it as one of my favorite games on my Facebook page. So entertaining and violent, lol. I remember Germany, Italy and Brazil were the most difficult teams to beat.

Argentina had the "banana shot", but the goalkeeper was constantly leaving the goal, so it was easy to score. |

N64, The console that started the 3D revolution, also the controller was innovative in that you had the memory card in the back and that you could use two controllers at the same time, one in each hand. For those who say that Nintendo is only for kids I dare you to tell me of one child who was allowed to buy Conker's Bad Fur Day! Raunchiest Game Ever: -------------

NES and Wii are the only ones I don't find horrible. And whaddya know, my least favourite one is winning.  Not sure what I'd like to vote.

In my mind the answer is gamecube, far and away. N64 is undoubtedly one of the best consoles ever but the controller is just awful. ------------- "The meaning of life is to give life meaning."-Arjen Lucassen |

SNES for me. I'd pick the Sega Genesis controller over the SNES.

Gamecube for me. Pleasant size, colorful buttons, easy to handle. Plus they had the first wireless controllers. Everything everyone is saying about the N64 controller is true. That thing is ridiculous. ------------- "I am the one who crossed through space...or stayed where I was...or didn't exist in the first place...." |

Had to go SNES, but not just to break the tie. With the SNES they gave the user many additional button options, notably the inclusion of the left and right trigger. I like the simplicity of the NES controller, but it's not much different than ones that preceded it on other consoles. I dig N64 as a system, but I always hated the controller, especially in comparison to the Playstation one. The Gamecube (underrated bargain bin console nowadays) one I see as similar to the N64, but improved with some of the kinks worked out. ------------- A fun place to review and discuss metal: http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/" rel="nofollow - MetalMusicArchives |
