@SwagaliciousJohnson I never said it was worse than the N64 controller. But the N64 controller isn't constantly treated like god's gift to gaming. Besides, saying the GameCube controller is better than the N64 controller is like saying skin cancer is better than lung cancer.
@-wc- No, I'm not. One of the great things the SNES controller pioneered was lining up the run/shoot button with the jump button at the proper angle for your thumb to hit both comfortably at the same time. Even the awkward N64 controller kept this. The GameCube controller, which is the only console controller in 30 years to abandon this form, is horrible for platformers, 2D or 3D, for this reason.
@-wc- The only thing it works for are games built for it. Games built for it work fine on other controllers. Games built for standard controllers play terribly on it. The d-pad is garbage, the c-stick is inferior to any other second stick, it lacks a second set of REAL shoulder buttons, the z button is ATROCIOUS, and the face button layout is a joke. The oversized 'win' button makes using any other button uncomfortable. The only good thing about it is the analog shoulder buttons, which Nintendo abandoned.
Their half-assed attempt at this and it's poor reception buried the chance of getting RDR Remastered on Switch, which I was far more excited for. This just makes me sad now.
No studio gives a crud about trying to save space except Nintendo, just a waste of time and money for them. Most companies like taking up more space so you can't have any other games competing with theirs for your attention.
What a garbage list. Goht was robbed, Tantalus doesn't belong anywhere near this list, Koloktos is overrated, and Dark Link isn't a boss in Ocarina of Time.
@eaglebob345 Life is too short to play bad games. I have tried musou games before. Nothing can make them interesting, not even a license I love. I can't push myself to finish them.
@Alpha008 I know Fire Emblem Awakening needed to sell at least 1 million units or Nintendo would've ended the series, according to Intelligent Systems. It was the best-selling game in the series at the time with 2.4 million sold.
The fact that BotW is the best-selling Zelda game by over 20 million copies is what I point to whenever people complain about the current direction of the series.
@MetalKingShield How was there a dissapointed reaction to Twilight Princess? Certainly not on Nintendo's end. It was the best selling Zelda game until BotW. If anything, it was an overcorrection from the failure of Windwaker in the US, which is still the only Zelda game that sold worse in the US than Japan.

Please. RDR is one of my favorite games of all time. I will take Grand Theft Horse over GTA any day.

Re: Smash Bros. Ultimate GameCube Controller Getting Restocked (Japan)
@SwagaliciousJohnson At least you can admit your nostalgia is overshadowing your judgment of fundamental controller design.

Re: Review: Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster - A Beautiful And Faithful Reimagining Of The Classics

@Serpenterror Not. Worth. $75.
