GCN alternative controllers options

In my opinion... Dreamcast's controller > PS2's controller > GCN's controller > Xbox's controller <Center><img src=http://zeth.homestead.com/files/gackt.jpg></center>

Wait a minute... The GCN's controller is bigger than the PS2 controller!!! And yet, I don't see you complain about PS2's! So unfair... Fortunately, as long as Nintendo fanboys like me are around, the world shall know the truth!!! ^_^ (squints eyes at Zethora) It seems our paths are more and more on course for collision... <img src="http://drunkntaichimaster.netfirms.com/nesslink.jpg" border="0"> </a> Zapp: What the hell is that thing?

Well look at the stupid B button, and the other buttons are all weird shaped. And the D-pad is so small i cant use it either. I dunno, i just dont like it. <HR> <CENTER><IMG SRC = "http://gokuscrap.homestead.com/files/pancake_rabbit.jpg"> <IMG SRC = "http://gokuscrap.homestead.com/files/saiyan.gif">"Fear the crazy bunny powers."<IMG SRC = "http://gokuscrap.homestead.com/files/mm14.gif"> (>'.')><a href="http://www.penny-arcade.com/view.php3?date=2001-03-28"></a> A Wookie Straw! </a> <('.'<)<HR>

HAHAHA!!! ^_^ I think they're perfect. ^_^ You move your thumb very quickly between all the buttons. It's follow the natural movement of your thumb. ^_^ Because of this you can move between all the functions very quickly! ^_^ You complain too much and haven't considered your own skeleton's biomechanics enough. ^_^ I've toyed around with the Xbox's and PS2 controllers and I can say safely that GCN's is best. I don't like PS2's D-pad and I feel that the grips don't hold in your hands as snuggingly as the GCN's controller. Xbox's controller's buttons are just weird, too vertical! In addition, the controller is too big! And the layouts of the design is just not efficient! The big X in the middle is useless! <img src="http://drunkntaichimaster.netfirms.com/nesslink.jpg" border="0"> </a> Zapp: What the hell is that thing? Kif: It appears to be the mothership.

It's not just about size. There are other factors too, like how it molds to your hands, button placement, number of buttons, etc. <Center><img src=http://zeth.homestead.com/files/gackt.jpg></center>

ANYONE remeber the jaguar controler. Oh man, as bigger than a DC controler and it had that nice 10 X 10 square of 100 buttons with NO labeles! YEAH! what were they smoking when they made that thing. <HR> <CENTER><IMG SRC = "http://gokuscrap.homestead.com/files/pancake_rabbit.jpg"> <IMG SRC = "http://gokuscrap.homestead.com/files/saiyan.gif">"Fear the crazy bunny powers."<IMG SRC = "http://gokuscrap.homestead.com/files/mm14.gif"> (>'.')><a href="http://www.penny-arcade.com/view.php3?date=2001-03-28"></a> A Wookie Straw! </a> <('.'<)<HR>

Well, I've finally got myself the G3 Pelican controller! ^_^ It's quite nice to have Turbo now! ^_^ I can pull out Link's ultra-fast slicing move just by pressing A now! ^_^ hehehe ^_^ (wipes drool) However, it takes some time to get used to the G3. ^_^ It's slightly bigger than the GCN's original controller and the handles don't have the deep curves of Nintendo's controller. ^_^ The rest is pretty much the same! ^_^ The Z button now has the click though! You actually know when to stop pressing! ^_^ The rubbery analog stick feels very comfy! ^_^ I think it's like the PS2's analog stick... At least, it looks like it. ^_^ As for the buttons, You DO have to get used to them, since you have to press deeper to activate them compared to Nintendo's. ^_^ All in all, I'm quite happy with it! ^_^ I feel the Turbo will come in handy when they make a DBZ fighting game... ^_^ hehehehehe ^_^ (DTM imagines winning all the Ki blasts contests)^_^ (changes drool bucket) ^_^ <img src="http://drunkntaichimaster.netfirms.com/nesslink.jpg" border="0"> </a> Zapp: What the hell is that thing?

An extra cord??? How did you got an extra cord and I didn't??? There was just the cotnroller inside the box for me. 22.95$...US or CAN? I bought mine for 30$ CAN...which is about 20$ US. ^_^ So I'm good with it. ^_^ <img src="http://drunkntaichimaster.netfirms.com/nesslink.jpg" border="0"> </a> Zapp: What the hell is that thing?

I saw the add in a Walmart about it and it said Extra cord!!!! So I ran down there the first day they advertised it and they didn't have any.... Well when I tried back a week and half later there was 3 left! I bought one and am glad I did. <img src="http://holyknight.homestead.com/files/fairchild1.0.gif"></A> //45hu 0//|/|5 j00!

Damn Walmart... ^_^ Is it a longer cord, or truly an extension that you can potentially attach to any of the other controllers? ^_^ You're very lucky! ^_^ However, how far away from your TV do you play? ^_^ I'm about 7 feet away and I think it's good .^_^ Hey! I finally got MewTwo and Mr. G&W! ^_^ I'm unlocking more goodies with them now! ^_^ hehehe ^_^ <img src="http://drunkntaichimaster.netfirms.com/nesslink.jpg" border="0"> </a> Zapp: What the hell is that thing?

You just now unlocked them?! Heh I cheated and left my game on all night to get Mewtwo. Then Mr. Game&Watch came afterwards and his stage level came alittle after that. All I need now is the trophies which I probably wont try for. <img src="http://holyknight.homestead.com/files/fairchild1.0w.gif"> //45hu 0//|/|5 j00!

Well, I want to treat my GCN well... Leaving it on all night didn't seem like a good idea. ^_^ So I took the long road. ^_^ Played 700 matches to unlock Mewtwo. ^_^ I asked a friend to come by and play against me a whole day. ^_^ We've racked up 700 games in one day. ^_^ hehehe ^_^ Just go into the custom melee and play with 1 stock and maximum damage. ^_^ First smash hit will most likely send you to heaven...^_^ We did everything within 3 hours or so...^_^ Each match being between 0 and 10 seconds... ^_^ Of course, we didn't know about the stock match...so at first, each match was 1 minute...but once you find out about stock match, it's quite fast... ^_^ <img src="http://drunkntaichimaster.netfirms.com/nesslink.jpg" border="0"> </a> Zapp: What the hell is that thing?
