Okay, let me restate my point. When I discussed the Xbox Controller, I specifically said the Xbox "Controller S", NOT the original Xbox Controller. The original Xbox Controller was indeed very large and was hard to use, but the Controller S is the redesigned version.

The Controller S is redesigned to be smaller and more practical. The buttons on the Controller S are round, like the buttons on almost every other controller, and are spread out in the traditional "circular" pattern. The D-Pad on the Controller S is shaped more like the classic Nintendo D-Pad (like a "+").

Many of you have probably never used the Xbox Controller S, most of you probably used the original bulky Controller. Trust me, once you use the improved Controller S, you will hopefully begin to understand my opinions...

============================================

On a seperate bote, the GameCube Controller is the best controller ever created, except for one problem--the D-Pad is too small. Nintendo should have designed the GameCube Controller's D-Pad to be larger and easier to use.

Is the X-Box Controller S the controller with the Start and Select buttons incovieniently placed on the far bottom-left of the controller?

Mario Maniac · « **Reply #17 on:** January 25, 2004, 07:43:19 PM »

Yes. But the Start and Back buttons are actually very easy to reach. Simply move your finger a bit to the left and you can press the Start and Back buttons with ease! Hvae you guys really never used the Xbox Controller S before?

I have used the Controller S before and it is an improvement over the old ship anchor controller, but the problem with the Start and Select buttons isn't the far-awayness of them, it's because they're colored black just like the rest of the controller, so they are hard to recognize right away.

The GCN's D-Pad is the perfect size, in my opinion. You can move it by just tilting your thumb, rather than having to push on each side and move your thumb all over the place.

The Andorian Mining Consortium runs from no one.

After playing the NES Zeldas a lot on GCN and then finishing up Mario & Luigi on GBA, I realized what Chup is saying. The small one looks like it will be bad, but is actually good. Who would have thunk?

my pathetic attempts at humor are fleeting

I concur.

The Control Pad is almost useless on the Gamecube controller. The only times I've ever used it were to play NES games in Animal Crossing or Legend of Zelda Collector's Edition. Even so, it's easy enough to just use the joystick for them.
