Top 10: Worst Controllers

Alex St-Amour from Link-Cable Writes: "There’s no worse feeling than being taken completely out of a game or losing a big match due to a controller letting you down. We’ve all seen those videos of people throwing their controllers away in a fit of rage and these 10 paddles are the reason why. Now you won’t find junk like a Power Glove or U-Force on this list because we wanted to keep it narrowed to first party controllers only (we’ll get to the third party ones later) so strap in and enjoy our latest top 10 featuring the stinkiest controllers ever made! And if you want to see what our picks are for the Top 10 Best Controllers, then click right here."

Dude... my Super Scope 6 works perfectly to this day. Replace that with "the Duke" and the list is good. There's a reason why Xbox dumped the black and white buttons and you now have 4 buttons on top instead of 2. Most people I know immediately ran out and picked up the redesigned controller that looked like the father of the 360 controller.

lol, forgot about the sixaxis, man that thing was total garbage.

rainslacker3291d ago

Mine wok just fine to this day. The battery lasts forever, and the controls are as good as the DS3. In fact, I have 2 sixaxis, and one DS3, and the sixaxis tends to get used more since I use the DS3 on the PSTV.

All it lacked was the rumble feature. That didn't make it total garbage.

MagicBeanz3290d ago

Sixaxis was rarely used, and even more rare that is was used well, the lack of rumble sucked and because of it the controller was way too light and felt odd. You enjoy, I didn't.

rainslacker3289d ago

True, the sixaxes feature was never really used in any compelling way, although there was a bowling game I played a lot. The lack of rumble sucked, but didn't render the controller complete garbage. The controller itself was fine, it just didn't have rumble, and the motion sensors were far from compelling.

Shuckylad3291d ago

Harsh on the Saturn 3D pad, I found it comfortable and easy to use. It was the foundation of the dreamcast controller.

Imalwaysright3291d ago

Sixaxis was the worst controller I ever held in my hands.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle34d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Five Games I'd Love To See On the Neo Geo AES+

These classics need to make a return.

Blues Journey is the game I'd like to see.

Popsicle36d ago

Pre-ordered mine a few days ago. Love this concept and hope there are more games announced. I can’t justify paying the prices for games that collectors are asking for. It’s the primary reason I own almost every console except the Neo Geo.

Agent7536d ago

I've pre ordered one here in the UK, no games though, as I'll move it on for a higher price. The white model looks awesome, but as expected, the price is too high. We'll probably see more of those all in one cartridges from China containing every AES game. In the UK, AES+ game at £70 ($95) is better than eye watering prices for the originals, but these games are so old and I can honestly say SNK didn't release many classics. The Metal Slug series is the only series I rate, there were just too many Street Fighter clones and not enough scrolling fighting games. Overall, the Neo Geo was poor for all genres apart from one on one fighters. Videos on YouTube asking for games from that console generation to be ported to the AES+, but who'd want to pay £70 for Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter 2? There's a lot of SNK collections out there, the best being Metal Slug Anthology on the PlayStation 2. The Street Fighter Anniversary Collection on the Switch contains 12 games for around £30, instead of £840 if released on the AES+. For collectors, the AES+ is the best news since sliced bread. Are there enough SNK fans out there? Nowhere near. Those £70 cartridges will soon start creeping up in price and it'll be a re-run of the original console.

I always wanted one in the 90's but couldn't afford it. Now i can but i think if i get one it will be collecting dust fast. It's a nostalgia thing i guess.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde40d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy41d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12540d ago (Edited 40d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
