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

Hahah this exactly

[@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...]

They knew 3D games were best with analog stick. They just didn't know if 2D games or 3D games would catch on and apparently couldn't conceive of having access to a D-pad AND an analog stick

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.

[@TheRenegade...]

Imagine something like the Joycons but it's more like the two halves of a Pro controller. (Sidenote, but sometimes I think the ideal control method would be left side of a controller + mouse)

[@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.

No Power Glove? 0/10 video. Sorry Scott, I don't make the rules.

[@figg9590]

100%

[@Blackkrd]

Scott has really fallen off…

[@DeathInTheSnow]

Because it wasn't made by Nintendo. It was a third party licensed controller built by Mattel.

[@retronymph]

Power glove deserves its own video, maybe even on main channel, I think he could definitely get a banger out of it on there.

[@renaultft1917]

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

[@garfieldcouch4443]

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

[@Clipz4Reelz]

Anyone else remember the NES Track and Field with the Button Mat you stand on?

[@myriadmediamusings]

When Nintendo has more controllers than Atari, Sega, Sony and Microsoft combined.

[@Landon_H]

they've been in the business for the longest most consistent time of course they have more controllers

[@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od]

@Landon_H yah I don't get the point of this comment

[@brandonschnacker1854]

​@Landon_H they Also are originally a toy company so they love their gimmicks

[@bengamincopper6508]

Both in amount and also all of them being unique and not just an updated/upgraded version like PS2 going to PS3 controller

[@Graylord88]

One thing to note about the Super Famicom controller, the lead is suuuper short! I believe you were expected to place the console on the living room table in japan, rather then by the tv like in the west.

[@splatlandss]

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

[@Cloud-dt6xb]

Correction the first ps1 controller did not have the analog sticks. That’s why final fantasy 7 still uses the d pad for example.

[@MUSQUIZanimation]

In a weird way. The Wii U Gamepad is my favorite Nintendo controller. It’s pretty bad, but I found it kinda charming for trying something.

[@jb-br8bf]

As someone with big hands I kinda love the WiiU’s analogue stick spacing.

[@kingstarscream320]

The game pad is awesome. I just hate playing with it because if it breaks, the entire Wii U becomes a paper weight.

[@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.

[@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.

[@cvdusey]

The joy con straps have a lock on them… it’s not meant to be that hard. The lock is the little white thing at the end of the strap that is attached to the shoulder button thingies.

[@WhoDaF0ok1sThatGuy]

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

[@TimDespairBear11]

I think the BEST Nintendo controller is the GameCube controller. I even use the power a GCN controller for the switch. It adds an additional shoulder button, clicking sticks, etc and it’s awesome. I know Scott covered it in his switch GCN controller video.

[@minecrafter3448]

27:58 Does he know?

[@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

[@joejonjeff]

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

[@nicholasnobles-zygmunt5451]

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)
