Controller Family Tree

[Alpha]

I found this interesting link of someone who made a family tree of gaming controllers with a summary of what each was. Very information and well made. Check it out and let us know, what's your favorite controller of them all?

 

Mine would simply have to be the Super Nintendo controller. It was simple and well made for fighting games and everything.

Where the hell is the nintendo power glove??

I don't think the power glove counts as a controller.

 

Just an accessory. Kind of like the Light guns they don't list for NES/SNES/PSX etc.

[L.S.D]

I love DC Controller. Never use XBox so never know.

He didn't list a PC Engine controller! The horror!

 

My Dynastic Hero / Demon Castle fanboyism seems unjustified at times like this.

I couldn't agree more. I can't even play using the original PSX controleer because it doesn't have the analog sticks... it's too thin.

it was close between dual shock 2 and snes but the dual shock 2 wins out.

I would have to say the GC controller. its so simple and weird. I just love it.

 

Also why is the xbox 360 controller so similar to the original xbox ?

dual shock 2 wins it for me, snes second to that as well
