Comment on Gamecube is the most underrated console while it was in circulation.

  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.

        I have the opposite problem that you do, the new smaller controllers make my hands start to cramp up after a couple of minutes on the new ones. It looks like Hyperkin makes a 20th anniversary Duke controller, so if I want to, I could end up just getting that.

        I am pretty sure that the new controllers are a better fit for most people, so it’s probably better that they made the switch.
