We recently told you why the Nintendo 64 controller<\/a> was actually terrible, contrary to any flawed childhood memories you may have. Now let’s take a look at why the GameCube controller is quite the opposite. In fact, it stands as one of the best joypads Nintendo has ever released, and a brilliant example of how much Nintendo could improve in just one console generation.<\/p>\n

Launched alongside the diminutive GameCube in 2001, the controller beautifully refined the inputs of the N64’s. Its main thumbstick and D-Pad were aligned for easy reach, while the four C-buttons of its predecessor evolved into their final form, the C-stick, a long-overdue second thumbstick that allowed for better camera controls.<\/p>\n

The awkwardly placed Z-trigger of the N64 became the GameCube’s Z-button, sitting atop the right shoulder trigger, while the left and right triggers themselves curved outwards to naturally hug players’ fingers.<\/p>\n
