I’ve always considered every Nintendo control scheme to be garbage and usually people can at least agree that the N64 was trash, but to call it a spot on layout? Damn, what kind of hands do you have? Lol
Comment on Gamecube is the most underrated console while it was in circulation.

The GameCube controller was hot garbage. Weird unfriendly shape, buttons in the wrong spot, my thumbs and index fingers we’re not happy with it. The N64 controllers had durability issues but the layout was spot on.
I also have the same complaints about the switch controllers. The secondary thumb functions (left d pad and right joystick) and primary L/R buttons are not in a good ergonomic place and cause my hands to hurt after a bit of playing.

The button position is not compromised like it is on “normal” shaped controllers. There is one joystick right in the center of thumb ROM, the triggers are where my index finger naturally rests, it’s just nice to use. I don’t need Spiderman hands to hit button combos.

The gamecube controller and the xbox duke are basically in polar opposite sides of thr spectrum. If you had on the reletively speaking, smaller hands, you liked the gamecube controller and hated the duke. Conversely if you had larger hands, it was usually the reverse.

My husband got one of the new xboxes, and I hadn’t touched one since the original Halo/Fable days. I was so disappointed at how tiny the controllers are now.

I love the small controllers. They’re so much easier on my joints than anything else, to the point where they’ve given me reaccessibility to my old games via emulator. Can’t do a button masher to save my life any more though.
I wonder, if you’re handy, perhaps you could gut one of the big ol’ XBOX controllers and do a frankenswap.

No, it’s pretty popular.
The gamecube controller is a pile of shit. There’s good reason why we don’t make them like that anymore.
