The key to every video game console is how the player is able to interact with it. This makes the controller design a crucial factor in a console’s hardware development. Brilliant designs such as Sony’s DualShock have proven that they can carry themselves across generations of platforms. However, most other companies have not been so lucky. Here are the five biggest design failures…

To see the list go here (http://news.gotgame.com/top-five-worst-video-game-controllers/15278/).

Dreamcast? **** off.

If there was no Dreamcast pad, I don't believe the 360 pads would be what they are today.

I had both dreamcast and n64 systems.
Dreamcast shouldnt be no 4 and n64 no 5.
Dreamcast was better build quality.had 2 slots compared to flimsy n64 which had 1 slot and broke easily.

While I do like the N64 controller, I did find it difficult to use when I was younger.

Dreamcast should be replaced by the Xbox Duke controller. Though I actually liked it for FPS games and due to the fact that it fit my hands very well, it was awkward and far too big for a lot of people.

Man I hated the Xbox S Controller it was just to freaking small.

The Best Controllers in my opinion:

The Genesis Controller
The Dreamcast Controller (it inspired both MS controllers if you ask me)
The SNES Controller
The Saturn Controller
Dualshock 1/2/3

Dreamcast and N64 shouldnt be on there. Those were two of my favorites :mad:

I agree on the top 3, but #s 4 and 5? Come on! I love the Dreamcast controller and think it is very well built. I also like the N64 controller, except for some reason the buttons jam a lot and the controller gets too loose.

[wrothamboii]

haha i agree but why isnt dreamcast on there?? :(

Dreamcast and N64 shouldnt be on there. Those were two of my favorites :mad:
Same here. I agree with everything on their list except for the DC and N64. DC and N64 had the best controllers ever.

[Sonicdude1995]

dc shouldnt b there! it's 1 of the best!

[pkbunghole]

where was the cd 32 controller, that was a monstrosity, like an upside down ps1 controller xD

[acn010]

dreamcast controller was a monster... huge, bulky motha fuka... didnt like it at all period..

[WhizzBang]

I think the biggest flaw with the DC controller was the VMU unit. The LCD screen was barely used for anything, and it had a small amount of memory on it so you needed loads of the things. Also the battery ran out on them almost immediately so you could not use them separately as originally intended.

The DC controller itself was fine for most games, and great for driving games but would have been better if they had dropped the memory unit and instead made it wireless. The dpad could have been better also.

[free games]

I'd say the original Xbox controller, & the 'Wii Gun' are up there as some of the worst.

[blueshogun96]

I find the PS3 and Xbox360 controllers annoying personally. The Xbox S Controller was the best because it was the only controller that perfectly conformed to my large hands.

I would have to say that the worst controller is nintendo 64 and the best is the genesis controller :thumbup:
