What the fuck were they thinking?
Sovl
>>729336031perfect except for the d-pad
They were thinking "most games don't even use the second stick except shooters and we need to focus on a comfy stick and comfy action buttons that you can FEEL without having to look down at the controller + the first console with Analog/Digital Triggers"
>>729336194The four button layout of the SNES was easier to remember. I'd always mix up x and y on this thing
It's a lot more comfortable than it looks. It's honestly really good, the wavebird in particular since it's a bit bulkier.
>>729336651How? X on the X axis, Y on the Y
>>729336703Never had a Wavebird but I kinda wish I got one. Now I got the NSO controller and it has gyro but it's not supported on Luigi's Mansion 3 or Prime 4 or Animal Crossing.
>>729337389I spiked my Wavebird during a game of Smash 4... I really regret it.
Its ergonomic and it works whats the problem? I mean having one less shoulder on the left is kind of weird but it gave the controller character
>>729337481Breuh.
>>729336651The SNES also had concave buttons for XY and convex for AB so you could feel the difference.Not that it matters once you build up the muscle memory.
>>729336031Nobody said GCN. It was called the Playstation.
>>729336031>rumble motor bump gets in the way of the triggers, forcing your fingers into a weird alcove. eventually, this wears away the paint on silver controllers.>d-pad too small, pretty much useless for character movement>shoulder button too small and there's only one of them
>>729337735To be fair, Smash 4 sucks ass and is very annoying to play.
>>729336031they were thinking>dpad? just make it really tiny, stiff and pretty much unusable>and put two shoulder buttons on the right side and only one on the left side for literally no reason>a second analog stick? just give it a yellow nipple thing
>>729336031What's the problem retard? this controller was fine. I'm more shocked that the chunky piece of shit microsoft calls an Xbox controller is not criticized.
>bigger d-pad>second shoulder button>superior ergonomicsKonig does with Nintendont.
>>729336031They were thinking "Let's make the best feeling control stick of ALL TIME and shackle it to the worst D-Pad, a much worse second stick, 2 fewer buttons than normal and a bizarre alien face button layout, and then NEVER release any other controller to use for Smash Brothers somehow"
if this controller is so bad then why is it still the gold standard for smash?
>>729338854Because Smashtards are autistic
>>729336031the shitcube was a big mistake. worst Nintendo console by far
>>729339038Yet it has some of the best games nintendo has ever released under its platforms
>>729339153Metroid Prime 1, Super Smash Bros Melee, the list goes on...
>>729336031Babies don't hold the controller, they put it on the floor in front of them
>>729336031I still consider it the de facto "Nintendo" controller decades later. Just like how the Saturn controller is the de facto "Sega" controller.
>>729339230Nice to know you have no idea what you're talking about smashtard, also SSM is dogshit for stinky retards
>>729339037so what do autistic people value in controllers that normal people do not?
>>729339546The ergonomics and button placement? Idk, Smash really started to develop with Melee so I think that's why.
>>729339230prime fucking sucks. only fzero peaked on this shitty console smeleesnoys need not reply
>>729337884Reminder that they didn't even want to add a D pad "early prototypes show the start button where the D pad is" they added it because a bunch of autistics complained about breaking tradition or whatever.
>>729339681that sounds important if you gonna hold it for thousands of hours
>>729336031Nintendo are always shit at making peripherals.
>>729339881Nuh uh
>>729340041>high glossyuck
>>729336031I'd always had a cheap knock-off one, got myself an official one this Christmas since I figured I'll play a bit more GC and adjacent stuff in a future not so distant anymore.I still don't get it.
>>729340126>The only bad thing you can say about the Wii U pro controller is that it's glossy
>>729340041They made it more like an Xbox controller to appease retards like you and that's when nintendo really started declining
>>729340285What are you even talking about? An Xbox controller looks nothing like that.>Retards like youOkay, buddy.
>>729340041Last decent controller ever made
>>729340285Lol the gaycube controller is more like the Xbox’s, you retard
>>729340285You're so fucking stupid, it hurts.
>>729340442>>729340596>>729340620Looks like I struck a nerve!
>>729340669You acted like an idiot!This is what happens!Curious!
>>729340669>Say something blatantly wrong and retarded >HURR DURR LOOKS LIKE I STRUCK A NERVEEvery time.
>>729336031It's smart to create an action button hierarchy instead of enforcing symmetry. 60% of the time, you are pressing one button, so it should be the largest.
>>729340739>>729340768>THIS CONTROLLER THAT IS SHAPED EXACTLY LIKE AN XBOX CONTROLLER DOESNT LOOK LIKE AN XBOX CONTROLLER BECAUSE.... BECAUSE IT JUST DOESNT, OK???
>>729341084You are legitimately blind.
>>729341229>swap position of right stick with action buttons>now the button layout also mirrors xbox controllersI could say the same to you
>>729338637Except use decent quality plastic apparently.
