Base your decision on anything you want, but explain why you chose what you did.

NES- The Advantage. It's the closest to a real arcade stick. Plus it's got slo mo and adjustable turbo.
The Bone Controller. More comfy than the rectangular NES pad.
NES Max- this is more of an honorable mention. The 8way directional pad was a huge flaw. The control cross would have been better imo. I liked the design though, since the edges didn't cut into my hands and it had turbo.

SNES- the original is the only one i've used besides a third party programmable pad which was a piece of shit. I like it becouse of the comfortable design.

Genesis- I like the genesis controller because it fits in my hand perfectly. Downside is that there's only three buttons unless you're lucky enough

Playstation- Well since they're all designed pretty much the same for all three sony consoles, I'm gonna say the original ps1 digital pad. The Dual Shock controllers always shit out on me after a while.

Dreamcast- This controller kicked ass because of the VMU. On some games, like RE Code Veronica it would show in game stats. Plus it felt super comfortable in my hands.

Xbox- after they got rid of the original controller, the Controller S was spot on. The original had a fucked up button arangement, plus it was too fat and chunky to hold on to. The S controller had the buttons angled perfectly and the white and black buttons were easier to access.

Game Boy advance- I know it's not a controller but in my opinion the design is more comfortable in my hands than the backlit game boy advance sp.

The N64 controller. Best controller ever.

Fuck that. I hated the design of the N64 controller. The "claw" shape and z button underneath basically forced you to use the stick for virtually every game. Plus the yellow buttons are way too small. The controller seems to have been designed for super mario 64. The controller is of good quality, but flawed design.

Atari 2600 Controller, simple and innovative for its time. It's my favorite.

This might be M3GA's first WIN

Just look at it. One joystick. One button. All you needed back then. Simple and innovative, like you said.

Fumbled my ass, the GC controller was better than the N64 controller because of what docinsano said.

I'd hate to say it, but I agree with M3GA. I hated the N64 controller, but thought the GC controller was a vast improvement. It's kind of cool though, how nintendo and sega's controllers constantly changed. But Nintendo wins for totally overhauling their designs year after year. Dammit, since sega is third party now why don't they make game controllers for all consoles?

I LOVED the DC controller. Does anyone remember the controller they introduced for the orignal nIGHTS? Very comfortable design.

Yeah, i remember that controller:
