It goes without saying that the controller is a very important part of a videogame console. Being the only piece of hardware that you are physically interacting with, it's critical that it is a well thought out device. It should be sturdy, comfortable, and have a solid feature set. No brainer right?
Well it turns out that it isn't as obvious as it seems. Check out the article to see a list of the top five crappy videogame controllers to ever grace Infinite Bits carpel-ridden hands.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
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.
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
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

lol i knew they would use the sony six axis. Shouldn't 360 controller be on there 2 since its an almost exact copy of dreamcast but with another analog
ive never had any problem with any controller ive ever used... thats what a skilled gamer is capable of.
Hmm,flawed.
What, seriously? The sixaxis is one of the worst controllers?
And here I thought it was one of the best. Hell, the only thing it's missing is rumble. That's it.
I mean, there's a reason Sony's been able to use the same basic controller design FIVE TIMES IN A ROW. That's five times more than any other controller series, ya' know.
This kind of blatant fanboyism is just pathetic.
I'm surprised that the original XBOX HUEG controller isn't on that list. It definitely should replace either the N64 controller or perhaps the 6-axis. The only reason I'd take points away from the N64 controller was because the analog stick wore out REALLY quickly. Otherwise its design was kind of wonky, but you never needed both the D-pad and the analog stick, so it wasn't a big deal. And damn was it comfy.
I was never a fan of the Sony controller. It's too small for me and hurts my hands.
