I like the GameCube controller but the button layout is so weird. I can’t really play old Mario platformers easily. The sticks on the PS2 controller also feel good.

While I like both, a PlayStation controller (especially 1-3) is just so intuitive/second nature to me, having grown up on those systems! The G.C. one is certainly well-built, but the triggers require a stronger than normal push to register. P.S. is just the gold standard and has a great foundation!

you have to be a madman to like the gamecube controller. Although more power to you
