yo, i'm partly with freeter on this one. nintendo controllers have evolved into shit. it seems like nintendo evolves their controller just for the sake of it. there was nothing wrong with the super nes controller. just throw in 1 or 2 analog sticks with that setup and it'd be perfect. oh wait, that's what sony did.

Funny thing is, the original Playstation controller, did'nt have any anolog sticks. It was a clone of the SNES controller, with 2 added shoulder buttons. Then the N64 comes along, and shows the need for an analog controller. What does Sony do? They release the Dual Analog controller. Nintendo introduces the vibration feedback device, for the N64, and what does Sony do? They release the Dual Shock controller.


Nintendo's controllers have always been, one step ahead of the competition. When they released the SNES, I thought the shoulder buttons were weird. Now, any controller without shoulder buttons, is just out of place.


I've never had a problem with Nintendo's controllers, except for those square bricks, they released with the NES. Like all of Nintendo's controllers of the past, the ingenius of their design, becomes more appreciated, as games show the controllers true purpose.


The PS2's dual shock, is my favorite controller of the 3 consoles, but I have no problem with the Gamecube's either.

"1.Shenmue is still Shenmue regardless what console it is on, and if it is to be re released why not release it on the most technically capable console???"

--So when did they move it to the GCN? Thats great news. Also, am I too understand that you prefer the XBox's digi..uhh, whatever that thing is where the d-pad is supposed to be, over the GCN's actual d-pad. Weird. And your calling these guys fanboys.

i did not once get involved in the controller discussion, so your digi comment is uncalled for, neither did i ever blast the GC in this thread, if me saying the XB is the most technically capable console offends you, you too qualify as a fanboy. it is. plain and simple.

mind you i bought a GC on release day. i got a box less than two weeks ago.

im as objective as they come, my definition of a fanboy is someone who turns the cheek to good games and hardware for no reason, perhaps the only reason being that they cant afford all the systems or pledge some childish brand alliance, etc...hance the name fanboy. so be it. Shenmue is coming out on the XB, too bad for those that dont have one....

ive always been system agnostic and will remain so. so fuck you.
