Actually the pokeball plus you may think is a joke, but the motion control for throwing balls is infinitely better, more precise and more responsive than the joycon. Plus with the fingerloop and strap you can actually throw the ball and have it leave your hand and pick it right back up. It's just overall a better way to play Let's Go. While the design may have been a gimmick it is actually the superior way to play the game, and I'm convinced most people that hated Let's Go were forced to play with a joycon. The pokeball literally turns a 6 or 7/10 game into 9/10 fun! :D

[@FunkyGhost37]

Scott said "Sony figured it out in a year", I mean...they probably didn't know either until Nintendo did it. That's why the first PS1 controller didn't even have a stick.

[@ShadowEl]

That literally is what happened. If Nintendo had realized 3D analog control would become the standard, I'm sure the ergonomic design would be different. It's primarily designed as a six button 2D game pad, with an analog control stick added on as a third option. 95% of the games ended up using that third option as their primary control scheme. However even then, it's hard to claim that left hand control is not ergonomic. Sure, your left and right hands are definitely positioned close together. But ultimately that left hand analog control design ended up being copied pretty closely for the Wii Nunchuk.

[@TheRenegade...]

My hottest take is that the Wiimote + nunchuk combo is the best/most comfortable controller there’s been. With a single-form controller, the way you can sit or lie down is limited. With the wiimote/‘chuk, I could contort into all *sorts* of lazy positions and still *perfectly* play whatever (non-pointer) game I had on. There were times I’d play flat on my back, head turned toward the TV, with my right hand (Wiimote) resting comfortably on my chest, and my left (nunchuk) hand atop my head or draped over the edge of the couch. It was glorious. Still my preferred way to play Smash Bros, legitimately.

[@wplays4271]

Hot take: I think the Wii U game pad is fantastic for open world games. Having a map on your bottom screen allows for the HUD to be less obtrusive, since it doesn’t need a mini map, you almost never need to pause the game to scroll the map or place waypoints and you can easily track down collectibles It worked wonders for the Batman Arkham games, and the gamepad is still my favorite controller for those games. You could just fly around, collecting riddler trophies, without needing to pause once. Since all the necessary info was available at all times on the gamepad. It’s incredibly immersive Did it make the Wii U unnecessarily expensive? Yes, does the Wii U have very few open world games, let alone ones that used it (cough couch, breath of the Wild)? Yes. But damn it, when it’s used well, it makes open world games so much better and immersive

[@DJCube1701]

I also think that the type of touch screen on the Wii U GamePad is perfect for it. A quick tap with one finger is all you need when using it in conjunction with the buttons. On top of that, drawing/writing input is much better due to using a stylus (you need a super expensive pen to have the same effect on a modern touch screen, as the regular stylus for those screens are awful to use). Wind Waker and Twilight Princess both benefited a lot from the GamePad.

It was comfortable and functional, and it stuttered much less than the Switch did in places like Kakoriko Forrest. However, probably the greatest experience of my gaming life was when I was still homeless but finally got a Switch and got to play Mario Odyssey for the first time. Both games were magical experiences, and they will always hold really special places in my heart.

I find it really funny that Nintendo went on to set the industry standard for videogame controllers with the NES and SNES controller designs, but since the N64 and up until the Switch, they decided to purposefully deviate from that standard with gimmicky and "distinguished" contoller designs in all of their home consoles.

[@corlinfardal]

Idk, I don't think that N64, or even really GameCube, controllers are "gimicky" the same way Wii and on are. Like, the N64 was the first controller to have an analogue stick at all, while the DualShock and even the Saturn 3D controller are far better ways of incorporating an analogue stick in retrospect, in an era where most games were still 2D - none of the big 3D games that the PSX is known for came out until after the N64 launched - it was perfectly reasonable to use a SNES controller as a base for 2D games and add an analogue stick as a completely separate control style for 3D games. The GameCube controller isn't even all that weird by comparison, the only particularly funky thing it really does is change the arrangement of the face buttons and in an entirely ergonomic way; the face buttons are arguably less gimmicky than just about any DualShock, with the dual-analog of the DS1, the pressure-sensitive face buttons of the DS2, the motion controls of the DS3, the touchpad of the DS4, or the adaptive triggers and haptics of the DS5.

Fun fact, the reason the analog stick on the N64 controller isnt on the left is because Nintendo assumed it would take time for developers to adapt to making 3D games and would prefer to use the D Pad for control. They already knew when developing it that for the next console the stick would be on the left, and that the N64 was just a transition

Scott’s face in the reflection if the WiiU GamePad

[@Paddy-if3nd]

I feel like the GameCube and Xbox 360 controllers are 2 of the best controller designs ever. I also think the Wii U Gamepad is one of the most surprising controllers. I was legitimately surprised by how good it felt to use? It looked so awkward.

[@Ratswithnointentions]

Gotta love how we didn't get the colored buttons on the SNES controller in the states because fun is banned.

[@pentacosttb2565]

The WiiU pro controller is hands down my favourite. Perfect ergonomics (symmetrical > asymmetrical sticks), great d pad and everything worth playing on the WiiU uses it. Wish they’d just slapped some analogue triggers on it and used it as the Switch Pro controller.

[@splatlandss]

this is really just his main channel now this is just the controller video on the floor😭

[@cato3277]

Scott can talk about controllers endlessly and I'd probably watch it, it just goes together like peanut butter and jelly I can't explain it

[@ShallBePurified]

I played all of Breath of the Wild with the Wii U Gamepad. And I loved it. It was actually quite comfortable. The size made it so my hands were in a more relaxed position for my arms and shoulders. And the buttons felt good. Now, I wouldn't want them to bring it back, but I liked it at the time.

[@Golden_Kas]

36:58 WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THIS IM WHEEZING SO LOUDLY HELP

[@Bmabre7]

28:11 Does...he really not know after 7 years?

[@AGZL]

No lol

[@al1395-y3d]

I use Wingman adapters with pretty much everything so that I can use the WiiU Pro Controller lol It just feels so right, light and it will never die in the middle of the game

[@slimcognito383]

43:59 With a little bit of whisky I can handle anything! I forget that Scott is of drinking age

[@JohnSmith-fq3rg]

It's still infuriating that drinking age is 21 here. You can start driving at 16 but can't even legally drink and drive for another 5 years! I can't imagine having to suffer through morning traffic sober for 5 years straight.

[@slimcognito383]

@@JohnSmith-fq3rg I wouldn't know considering i have never done either and have no desire to

[@0CEANSN3ON]

there is nothing more Scott than a nearly 50-minute long video on nintendo controllers and I'm here for it

[@bland9876]

The fact that you have to have the Wii U gamepad plugged in and charged before you can play video games even though you're using a freaking classic controller or Pro controller is b******* change my mind.

[@guessdeity]

I noticed you don’t say “uhhh” as much now. THANK YOU. It makes the videos on Scott’s stash 100x better

[@garfieldcouch4443]

I havent watched it yet. Even the virtual boy? Wow, even the virtual boy.

[@renaultft1917]

I'm glad to hear Scott talking about his control issues.

[@willatron83]

Stunning and Brave

[@timmyfitz8032]

I love the Wii U Pro controller. I got one of those mayflash adaptors so I can use it with my Switch.

[@joejonjeff]

Scott, it’s your cousin. I want my NES back. Thanks.

[@araeden]

I've recently been into using original controllers on my PC. Using the wavebird with the mayflash usb adapter is great.

[@Mimikyu_Lov3r]

The Wavebird GameCube controller is the absolute best so far

[@dragoon1090]

Nintendo should make the modern version of the wavebird. They'd sell a ton of em.

[@RocketboyX]

Unless they bring back the GameCube triggers, there is not much point of an official one.

[@aortaplatinum]

The loss of rumble and the additional weight don't really make the wireless worth it

[@DJCube1701]

There's one controller better than the Wavebird controller: The GameCube controller. It's much nicer to hold and has rumble.

[@AlfredFJones1776]

That wireless GameCube controller lives rent free in my head. Nostalgia overload.

[@WhoDaF0ok1sThatGuy]

Am I the only one who loves the switch joycons?😅

[@NickN_05]

That one part on the bottom of the controller that has no use, it was supposed to be the plug for accessories (but since the Wii U had a poor reputation, those accessories never got made)

[@Pjiwm]

21:20 dang he's hot

[@calculateddeclination5534]

To this day, the gamecube controller is the best design. It just needs modern touchups to work at it's best in this point in time. It feels so natural in the hand. So does the button layout.
