I liked the PS1 controller but I never liked the placement of the analog sticks on the ps2 controller. In games where you need analog sticks, I much prefer the xbox slim or 360 controller.

I do believe the gamecube had a solid control scheme.

meh I was never a big fan of n64 or gamecube but gamecube was definitely better than n64, still not as good as xbox/playstation tho.

Ahh, the original orange-and-grey NES Zapper. Man, that was so much fun. So much fun, in fact, that I was for a while considering modding it in order to play Duck Hunt on something other than a tube TV. :/
Let’s hope Nintendo knows what it’s doing with this Wiimote thing, the closest shell I’ve seen to that old NES Zapper is actually the Nyko PerfectShot. But, I’m not the Treehouse Group at Nintendo.

Sales are through the roof, profits are at an alltime high, and their competitors have tried to copy it’s features from the start.
It think they know what they’re doing…

SpectatorErm… I MEANT what they were doing with the “Wiimote as lightgun equivalent” thing.

if you’ve ever played link’s crossbow training or the target game in wii play, you will realize that its better in most ways technically but still not as cool as the light gun (nostalgia ftw)

Spectatorahhh light gun
February 25, 2010 at 7:59 pm #97708MasterP
SpectatorThe wiimote will never be as effective a controller as the light gun. The engineering behind it prohibits its usefulness as a gun.
With that said, the engineering behind the light gun keep it from being useful with modern games.
Nintendo learned their lessons about controller attachments with the N64 and will be keeping them to an absolute minimum from now on. Instead they’re focus will be on using the expansion ports on the console itself, something Nintendo has very rarely done in America.
