Xbox 360 controller is by far the most comfortable controller to hold, but the Dpad sucks balls.

SNES was the best fighting game controller, never got caluses playing SF for hours and hours straight.

Sega Master System controller was the worst. They had that little screw-in joystick that you put on the Dpad, but it didnt really help

When I have some time I need to repair my SNES. I think the fuse blew. I can't wait to fire up Mega Man X and NHL 94...

I have played lots of system there are few that exist i have not played.

That said the one and ONLY control that i picked up and INSTIANTLY felt 100% comfortable with is the Game cube the layout/size/shape and everything was spot on. Every other controler has taken at least some time of playing to get used to.

I love the xbox 360 controller and the game cube controllers. I have a ps3 and love it but I envy the 360 controllers every time I use them. The gamecube controllers were my favorite.

As an old dude, it took me forever to get used to flipping motion and buttons on newer controllers--the early joysticks all used your right hand (thumb if you were l334) for the joystick and left for the button. When my brother got an NES, I was WTF--how can you do direction with your left hand? Now it seems like second nature.

I likes me the Wii control. Separate controls for each hand seems so obvious now.

They also missed intellivision--it was different.
