Gamecube Controller: - I Didn't Know "Spice" Was a Color

by jeremy1456 jeremy1456 is a Lead on Epinions in Games, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Jul 05 '04
Pros: Comfortable Design, Nice Force Feedback, Lowered Price
Cons: Wavebird Available, Z Button
In the world of console game controllers, Nintendo has been one of the main innovators. Not only did they invent the directional pad, but they also brought joysticks back into the mainstream for home consoles with their console the Nintendo 64. Their ...

Gamecube Controller - Spice, Spice, Baby (think Vanilla Ice...)

by Rock_On Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Feb 27 '03
Pros: nice durability, overall look and feel to it
Cons: short cord
New systems means new controllers. And new controllers means more getting use to different button layouts and controller comfort. When I first saw pictures of the GameCube's new controllers, I didn't know what to think of it. It looked weird, and at...

Controlling the Cube.

by search66 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Mar 05 '02
Pros: Look. Feel. Placement.
Cons: Short cord.
"The heart of gaming isn't always the fast CPU or the intense graphic engine; many times it is the use of the systems controller. What made the Sony Playstation so successful? Was it the superior graphics or sound? Nope. It was the...

Nintendo GameCube Controller: Has Good Ideas, as Well As Bad Ideas.

by Alkaiser Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jan 30 '02
Pros: If you're adjusted to the PS controller, you'll like this one.
Cons: Price, one-button-centric design has flaws.
One of the things I never understood about all these game consoles was that they were supposed to foster all kinds of togetherness with their easy support for multiplayer games, and yet, none of them ever comes bundled with an extra controller.

Most comfortable controller ever, until Nintendo's next console.

by bangj , May 26 '05
Pros: Comfortable, Light, rumble, different colors, best controller ever.
Cons: Z button
Following the release of any games console, comes the even more important release of its accompanying controller. Nintendo have always been at the forefront in controller design, with an approach that focuses heavily on accessibility, comfort, ergonomics ...

A Little Spice Is Always Nice

by zbrower , Mar 18 '03
Pros: comfort to the extreme, durable, responsive.
Cons: Strange button layout
A precedent for controllers was instituted in my mind after playing with the wonderful and simple SNES controller…But then, came along a controller for the N64 that was of extremely unique design, and it as well impressed me. Nintendo, obviously...

Put Your Hands On the Jet and Take Off!

by pavona21 , Dec 11 '01
Pros: Nintendo Brand Controller, Comfortable, VERY durable.
Cons: Cord could have been longer, but isn't that what they make extensions for?
One night I was sitting around on my computer chair with my eyes pasted on epinions. At this time, I think I may have hit a critical point as an epinions member. I had run out of things to review. Sure, I have a couple dozen games for n64, and I have...

Nintendo's new controller is a great design but could have been better.

by awymore , Dec 21 '01
Pros: More durable than the N64, analog sticks are very precise. Shoulder buttons feel great.
Cons: Short cord, less buttons than PS2, D-pad is practically worthless.
First of all, this is the best controller available for the GameCube. It's more durable than the third party controllers, the analog sensitivity is more precise, and the rumble feature doesn't make a rattling noise. But I'm disappointed that Nintendo...

Nintendo Makes Another Unique design.

by goldref18 , Apr 02 '02
Pros: Easy to use, colorful and well designed.
Cons: Cord to an extent.
Along with the small shape and games, the controller certainly fits the Gamecube family. It is tough, well placed, comfortable and easy to use. It does look awkward, but it is good nonetheless. It scores very high with me, and I think if you tried it...

A Hit & Miss Design

by dopple , Jan 12 '02
Pros: Comfortable, nice main button layout, cool new analogue sticks
Cons: Doesn't feel too solid, tiny D-pad, awkwardly placed Z-button
I tend to like Nintendo's controllers. The NES controller may have been a sharp square, but you got used to it. The SNES controller was nice and round, and very comfortable (so long as you placed your hands around the top like you were supposed to)....

Nintendo Gamecube Controller, Best for Nintendo

by icedogg9999 , Dec 28 '01
Pros: Buttons are spaced evenly, small size that grips your hand
Cons: The Z button is a little small. And the D-pad could be bigger
The Jet Black Nintendo Gamecube Controller fits easily into your hands. It's perfect for big hands or small hands. The A, B, X, and Y buttons are all very far apart. Unlike that of the Xbox. The Controller is far better and smaller than the N64. Yet...

durability problems

by prncpia , May 03 '02
Pros: As far as comfort is concerned, this is the best controller for any system
Cons: durability(each color I have had problems with
I have been playing John Madden 2002 quite often on my gamecube. My friends and I have gone through six controllers already (in a 4 month time). I keep my controllers in excellent condition, so I know the problem is not due to misuse.
In all 6...

Spice is nice!
by videogamzrulz ,Feb 16 '04
Pros: made by Nintendo, built to last, good quality + rumble, responsive
Cons: GFD (see review), short cord, akward buttons
This is a great controller for the gamecube. Spice is a nice color, but it clashes horribly with your gamecube, making it a GFD (gamecube fashion disaster), no matter if your gamecube is black, blue, or platnumn. It has a short cord, which can be a pain if your couch is far from the TV. However, it works very well, it is very responsive and built tough. Actually, I've smashed it against the wall a couple frustrating times, and I see no visible damage. It works perfectly. Rumble is good, although it is nothing compared to the rumble of an Xbox controller. Nintendo always does a great job designing their hardware, and some of the other companies suck at it, so if it's a Nintendo system, I get Nintendo hardware. It is much better quality then those other brands. A final word: always stick with Nintendo hardware.
