why do white people love this thing so much? its missing a bumper and might as well be missing a stick. fuck the button layout. i genuinely cant understand how anyone likes the gamecube remote.
>>
The only part that's baiting my response is calling controllers "remotes". I swear this is a recent thing, or is it just some british thing?
>>
>>738158492
As far as remotes go it's not that bad, the original xbox DUKE remote however is terrible.
>>
This is like the only normal remote Nintendo has ever made after the 1990s lol.
>>
>>738158492
It's not a bad remote at all but it's been outclassed for a while by pretty much every other remote.

THEY ARE CALLED PADDLES
>>
>>738158492
Nah you just have shitty taste, I for one love using my gamecube remote while playing atari apps on my sega system
>>

>It's not a bad remote
whats good about it?
>>738159557
theres a transformer named paddles :0
>>
>>738158713
It's definitely old. I had friends who'd call it that back during the PS1 days. Or "pad."
>>
>>738159624
The control stick, the A and B buttons, the pressure sensitive triggers and it's just generally comfortable.
>>
>>738158492
bonus points for being the only nintendo controller that isn't retarded since the NES
>>
same

im afghan

>>738158492
We went from that to THIS.

>>738158492
Nobody is forcing you to use hardware made before you were born, OP.
>>
>>738158713
That's been a thing since for a long while. You'll know you're talking to a true boomer when they call controllers "paddles"
>>
>>738158492
because they're the sheltered christian kids who didn't get a PS2 growing up because it was "satanic".
>>
>>738159945
At least the Wii remote had a usable dpad.
>>
why is everyone saying remote
>>
>>738158492
It has its niche like 6 button Saturn controllers, and remappable controls are a standard feature in most games these days. When put into perspective, it was a direct upgrade from the N64 remote in every regard. I like how the official Wii U/Switch adapter practically immortalized it by also being usable on PC.
>>
>>738158713
it's just bait
>>
>>738158492
The build quality is unmatched by any other first party controller then and now, all of my old controllers still work perfectly two decades later. It might not be good for certain genres but the Gamecube controller is excellent.
>>
More comfort than the Dualshock, Analog triggers superior to PS2 L and R buttons , analog C stick camera control was better than c buttons but not a true analog stick, perfect for Mario and Zelda, bad for FPS and TPS and almost everything else due to button layout and d pad
>>
>>738158492
The main positives of the gamecube controller are the right buttons being sized and positioned by frequency of usage as well as the left stick and right sticks having indents to allow exact diagonal and cardinal direction positioning
Other than that, they're mediocre
>>
>>738158492
I don't think anyone genuinely likes this controller, except for the retards who play Smash and have gotten used to it.
>>
>>738160615
I don't think anyone genuinely likes any Nintendo controller from the 21st century lol.
>>
>>738158492
Manlet hands primarily. They think the tiny misshapen plastic is comfortable.
>>

>inb4 someone posts the Wii U pro controller
I thought the Wii classic controller pro was decent. It can even be used with those mini NES and SNES consoles.
>>
>>738159945
wii-nunchuk was great
put your arms as far apart as you want.
now we have joycons, baby!
>>
>>738158492
It's built for smashing.
>>
>>738158713
it's a tendie schizo thing
the wii is where they started calling them remotes
and they continued with the wii u and switch
>>
>>738158492
Tendies just like revisioning everything as being good about even when it wasn't.
>>738160130
>It has its niche like 6 button Saturn controllers
Those have way more use applications (fighting games, 2D games in general) than the Cube pad which was made for first party Gamecube games and nothing else.
>>
>>738158492
The campaign for the gc ultimate 2 is already over :(
