What's wrong with the GameCube controller? I hear a ton of people complaining about the controller. Its perfectly designed, all the buttons and analog sticks are in just the right spots, all easily accessible, and perfectly sized. Someone please tell me what the problem with it is.
The problems that I have with the GameCube controller are as follows:
- Not enough face buttons. The N64 had six face buttons, how come we went backwards in time to the SNES era and only four face buttons?
- The lack of double shoulder buttons. The Z-button is awkward to use, and completely unbalanced, meaning you either have to hold your controller differently in each hand, or you have to take your finger off the R-button in order to use the Z-button. Unacceptable.
- There is no expansion slot on the controller, whether for memory cards, microphone connection (for future online play), etc.
On a slightly different subject:
My webcam is acting up, so I had to use a picture off the web, instead of one I made personally. The N64 just looks so cool! Don't you love how the curve of the casing perfectly matches the curve of the cartridge. It's so sleek and smooth. Even the Q doesn't beat it in terms of visual appeal. I especially enjoy being able to tell at a glance what game is actually in my console. With my GameCube, I have to open the lid to check, which gets annoying.
