That's why they need to amalgamate all the controllers into one.
There's a simple solution in my opinion. Take the controller above, which is a good start. Add handles. For example, GCN controller handles. Next, change it from 4 buttons on the face to six, a standard layout. Change the shoulder buttons from that horrid layout to something like the Xbox 360 controller layout. The back ones will be the triggers, and the front ones will be standard shoulder buttons.
Do that and you have a single controller that will work for EVERY Nintendo game through to Gamecube. The only issue to resolve is button names :D. I think that 4 of the button should use the SNES naming convention, already done, and the last two should be, I dunno, C and Z like on the Genesis. Add in the coloring from the N64 controller.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
