This is an amazing video! It really brings me back to playing games in silence, which I hardly ever do anymore, so I haven't heard the sounds of the controller in years, and completely forgot about it. This really brought back amazing and satisfying memories!
I think for me my favorite controller sounds will always be opening and closing the 3DS. While not be in one of the actual buttons on the controller, I'll never get over it just how satisfying that click felt.
"UMM ACTUALLY the DS, DSi, and the 3DS do have the hinge closing/opening as an input because they respond to it by going to sleep mode whenever the lid is closed or the 2DS's sleep switch is pushed. The GBA SP did not have a sleep mode when its lid was closed." - Massive 🤓, 2024
Interesting thought. I think the only "modern" controller sounds, if you would count these as controllers, that we still recognize today are the mouse and keyboard, as depending on the model they could be super loud, but gives the unique sound.
And keyboards and phone screens like my Samsung S22 ultra screen with out HD rumble sounds different to my pixel 3 standard screen... Like It's not a problem at all and I'm sure kids today on the ipad will rember it's sounds as much as we do gamepads...
This reminds me of how when movies depict typing, they still use audible click-clacks. I sometimes purposely "over-act" in games to hear more of the click-clacks.
Many people still use mechanical keyboards tho. Especially professionally. They're more accurate, more satisfying and more efficient than rubber dome keyboards
My mom absolutely loathes the noise of controller buttons. She could hear them several rooms across and end up infuriated by the noise. I even asked once how to make controllers less noisy specifically for her sake. Turns out that companies indirectly heard me, and nowadays the DualShock 4 onwards is basically soundless.
This video is so unique! The way It's written and the edited is so good, legit one of the best videos I saw in a while. You should do more of these, they feel so special.
As someone who used a Game Cube controller, I literally just fidget with it even if I don’t have it plugged in. It’s just so satisfying to slam the stick into the edge and hearing the click
Brooo I do this all the time, my top favorite controllers to fidget with are definitely the SNES, N64 and GameCube. I have an addiction to pressing those concave buttons...
I’m mostly familiar with the Gamecube, N64, and Dreamcase controller sounds, I spent the most time playing on these consoles and pressing the buttons has that satisfying clicking sound
@@thesupervideogamenerdmore3171 Because the Dreamcast didn't really deserve to fail, SEGA did things right for the most part. Gamecube and the original Xbox were kinda failures too, and they are great and widely loved today too. All of these consoles just stood in the massive shadow of the juggernaut that was the PS2, which is a bit of a shame.
I don't really play games the way described, so I do still hear the sounds of modern controllers, though they are much quieter. More so than the sound though is recognizing controllers by their feel. I don't mean general vibe, but rather the exact amount of wiggle the buttons have and how much pressure is needed across the range. This also serves to make the sounds more memorable as they're caused by the exact same factors. Often the pressure needed to press a button increases over the range before suddenly dropping as when the threshold is reached, also triggering a audible click. Interestingly, my favorite modern controller has unusually smooth triggers. There is no hardware threshold to trigger a button press and the force needed to press it stays very constant until abruptly hitting the end making it stop instantly, with sound coming entirely from the impact. The buttons meanwhile are _very_ sticky are take a lot of force to trigger, but also make a satisfying pop when they do.
Other than the Gamecube controller, the best sound has got to be the fightstick. Hearing the buttons get slammed and the deep and loud movement of the stick is top tier. Its adds punch do the inputs you do more than any other controller.
Myeah, although not all games use it, controller vibration adds a lot to game immersion, and has been a loud feature since long ago. While quieter than most, the HD rumble for the Joycons and Pro Controller is so precise that it can produce different tones, as shown in Mario Wonder as you mentioned, which is a really cool use for that. Meanwhile my third-party Joycons go NUTS on those noteblocks lmao
I can relate to this a lot! I played the entire Halo 2 on the Xbox Original when my TV didn't have sound for some reason and the only thing I listen to is the controller sound and the rumble 😆
I always kinda hated the clicking and clacking of the controller it always felt right to play the game with sound on but I gotta say the 3ds circle pad felt so good to fling best controller addition ever
Loving the more experimental content. Genuinely never thought about controller sounds before, usually the feel gets my attention more, but it's a really interesting topic!
as an arcade stick enjoyer it's crazy how much the noise a controller makes can elevate the experience, the tactile feedback from the clicking they make when you do a motion input and press a button makes you feel in tune with your character, especially because fighting games already design their special move motions to make player input and on-screen actions feel connected, it's a big part of why i enjoy the genre so much
ive played and worked on the same computer for about 6 years now ive been killing the z, x and arrow keys tremendously, because i tend to push hard when i press them and i think i got them a lobotomy with pizza tower
I really liked this alternative style of video! I don't really feel a connection with any controllers myself, but I completely get the sentimentality you might have over them.
Wow this was a great and interesting video. I'm very familiar with game controller sounds but mostly the retro ones stand out to me the most more than the modern ones do.
I love how the GameCube controller sounds, but another controller I love the sound of is actually an arcade stick with a Sanwa lever and buttons. The loud and snappy sound of the buttons combined with the smooth thumping and clicking of the lever as it traces the gate and switches is so satisfying, especially when you're doing combos in a fighting game. When you learn a combo for a game, that combo will have a specific sequence of sounds that come from the stick itself, which is really neat, and in some cases the rhythm and timing of button pressing can actually help you dial in more difficult link timings. Arcade sticks are just so cool.
This is such a cool idea for a video, love that there’s no background music so all the focus is on the controller noises. I know that was probably an obvious choice while making the video but still it’s just a brilliant idea
Another thing controllers need again are the ones where it's really colorful, but see-through so you can see all the wires and stuff. THAT'S the stuff I need
I don’t have that much of a connection with the sounds of my game controllers, but I do have a connection with the sounds that consoles make when they turn on. I’m not talking about the start up sound on the tv, even though I do have a connection with those sounds too, I’m talking about the sound the game console itself makes. Take the Wii turning on when there isn’t a disc inside. The sound that the disc drive makes is very memorable to me. I also remember the sound the PS2 slim makes when it turns on.
The 360 and PS3 did it best in my opinion. The loud clean "ping" of the PS3 is nostalgic as hell, and its something so cool to hear when you turn a brand new console on for the first time. As for the Xbox 360, I have the Gears of War 3 edition of that makes the distinct sound from the game when you turn it on. It's just *perfect.*
the NES controller sound, my first memories of video games. the sound of the Zapper forever craved into my mind while I was playing Duck Hunt. The one from the PS1 without a joystick which has different sounds than the dualshock version with the iconic sound of motors. all these memories (with those also of the GameBoy Pocket, Color, Advance and Advance SP) make me so nostalgic almost 30 years after starting to play video games. And yes I have no memory of the sounds of the buttons of my 3DS and yet I played it for hours, same for my Nintendo Switch or my controller for PC and Switch.
modern arcade sticks/fightsticks can still have some decent volume to them, with their clicky sticks and wide buttons. playing fighting (or other) games on them can feel super satisfying. sometimes i like to use mine on random arcade-style games just to feel immersed, or rhythm games (surprisingly, fightsticks feel really nice for those in my experience, as long as you have all the buttons you need).
5:25 I love that you mention the strum bar on the Guitar Hero controller. I remember a review of Rock Band from back when it was still relatively new and how the reviewer didn''t like the Rock Band controller as much because the strum bar wasn't clicky like the Guitar Hero one. That strum bar has an iconic sound to me. On the subject of modern controller noises, I couldn't tell you what a DualSense sounds like, but I can kind of tell you what a Joy Con sounds like because of how clicky the buttons are and I can tell you how an Xbox Series controller sounds like since I mainly play single player games on it and the d-pad is very clicky and the sticks aren't the quietest when hitting them as far as they'll go.
Woww this is a very interesting video with the nostalgia controller sounds, and while the GameCube controller is extremely legendary, it personally doesn't beat the Switch Pro Controller with the smooth joystick, responsive button s and shoulder buttons, and those mesmerizing grips! ❤️ Wonderful video Nathaniel, looking forward to future uploads! 👍
The buttons are just as responsive on the Gamecube controller as the switch, so that's a none argument. And the GC controller feel just as good to hold if not even better, while it also have real triggers which the switch lacks, how well does mario sunshine play on a pro controller compared to the GC?
honestly, i have to disagree. i think the gamecube is a better controller. it lacks pressable sticks and home buttons and the dpad sucks but its honestly better in a lot of ways. maybe im biased as a pc gamer or whatever
I never thought I'd see Guitar Hero and Rock Band representation on a video about video game controller sounds, but those are probably the most iconic sounds in my life. The clickyness of the strumbar and the clacking of the frets to the beat of the music screams "childhood" to me lol
Funny enough, I was born in the EARLY 2000s, precisely late 2001, and somehow grew up with all of these systems, whether they were mine or a friend’s: The Gameboy Advance SP, EVERY iteration of the Nintendo DS, the GameCube, the Super Nintendo, the ORIGINAL Nintendo, the Nintendo Wii, the Wii U, EVERY iteration of the 3DS (not counting the 2DS), and, finally, the Nintendo Switch, all of which I had owned AND obtained for at least some amount of time, before I even hit 18 years old. I’m. Dead. Serious. I was able to get my grubby mittens on at least one version of every single major Nintendo system since the NES AND bring it to my house before I could even fathom drinking alcohol.
I don't know if this counts but for me personally one of my favorite controllers is the Xbox 360 controller not because of the sound of the buttons, but the vibrations in it. It's not as high tech as the PS5 or Switch's HD Rumble, but it's a very satisfying rumble when you do certain actions in games. Easiest example is Sonic Unleashed, because despite how soft the buttons feel, when you press boost, the vibrations make you feel the impact of Sonic boosting forward right as you hit the button. Or every strong attack the Werehog can do has very little or shaky vibrations. And I'm someone who turns off the in-game music, so even when I turn off the sounds, I can STILL enjoy the feel of the controller.
both the game boy advance sp and the original ds are the controllers/consoles that i have the most nostalgia for. between taking them on long car rides and secretly staying up late to play games, i almost never had the sound on (plus the gb sound was… something) so the sound of those buttons, plus the stylus sounds on the ds, scream childhood to me.
My fave controller sounds are the 3ds or wiiu the touch screens and buttons though soft yet peaceful and slightly loud or the wii remote sounds from the speaker doing a trick in mario kart or mario galaxy spinning in a launch star or shooting a star bit with the B button so lovely
For me personally was the gba when I first got one for my 5th birthday back in 2006, I remember so many late school nights playing it muted hiding underneath my covers lol..
It is so nice to see you doing something more relaxing and less straining on your mind and sleeping for now, man. I love the 100% series videos but your health comes first.
Notice how when you get a new kind of console. Like for example you had a Wii and then got a PlayStation a couple years after. After a couple days of getting used to that new controller, you don’t need to look down to find what button to press. From then on you get used to that. Something I’ve noticed since I got my first console.
The sound I remember the most is the GameCube controller. I had a computer keyboard from the 90s and the keys made a clicking sound when you pressed them.
My only though about modern controller sound is the Xbox series x controller's D-pad who makes a clicking sound but the rest of them I didn't notice really.
I time trial Mario kart double dash competitively, and with the way the game works, we have to do very rhythmic patterns. The sound that the GCN controller makes with top level players is amazing.
Definitely on that "put on a video to listen to" side of things. I rarely actually listen to the audio in games, usually just watching youtube while I play. I swap to the game audio for cutscenes and major story segments, but aside from that I just do not care what the game or controller sound like.

I type incredibly loud because of how fast I type even on a non-mechanical keyboard. It would be hard to find a totally silent keyboard for myself.
The only modern controller sound that I think I'll remember is the D-pad on the Series X controller which has a very distinct click

THIS is content. Sometimes it felt like I was the only one who cared about this. It's EXCELLENT to watch a breakdown like this. Thanks a lot!!
The controller sounds filling the sound space instead of the music alone makes this my favorite video of yours!

Or you know....10 hours of controller ASMR.
1 of the two.
Ranking sounds great
Bro time travelled to comment
@aIIax ik I was just being unfunny, if yk me that's a trait
It's funny that Mario Wonder wasn't mentioned at all. The sound of running across the note blocks when using the joycons was fun.

This is probably the most quiet and Zen video you've ever made and it's honestly pretty refreshing

Never would I have ever expected a 10 minute video on controller sounds and noises, but here I am completely invested
why is sounds of controllers so satisfying lol
Ain’t you Nathaniel B?
😂😂😂 i was looking for this
Nothing quite like the GameCube controller sounds :)
Great video! I personally like when buttons in controllers or (keyboards) make sounds. I just find them so satisfying.
I can relate to this a lot! I played the entire Halo 2 on the Xbox Original when my TV didn't have sound for some reason and the only thing I listen to is the controller sound and the rumble

This video is very satisfying to watch with the clicky buttons in the background
Now I wish I had clicky buttons on my keyboard ._.

Melee and Mario Kart Wii streams wouldn't be complete without the sound of the sticks
Exactly. The sound of classic controller joy sticks is burned into my brain
Thought this was a Thomas Game Docs video from the thumbnail haha
I remember first watching your videos when the mario sunshine episodes for the frustration series came out. Glad ur still posting.
Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons still have pretty loud ZL and ZR buttons.
Mechanical gaming keyboards can make a lot of noise, too.
i hate sometimes when people press hard on the buttons cause it can sometimes trigger my sensory overload
ive played and worked on the same computer for about 6 years now
ive been killing the z, x and arrow keys tremendously, because i tend to push hard when i press them
and i think i got them a lobotomy with pizza tower
I really liked this alternative style of video! I don't really feel a connection with any controllers myself, but I completely get the sentimentality you might have over them.
Wow this was a great and interesting video. I'm very familiar with game controller sounds but mostly the retro ones stand out to me the most more than the modern ones do.

Been watching NB since 2013. Ofc I remember the Spirit!
I saw the title and thumbnail and my immediate thought was “didn’t the Wii remote have a speaker in it?”
I felt like the Wii U gamepad is the final controller with loud button mashing

The GameCube controller buttons are just so satisfying to click. It just feels so good!
Let's admit it
This is secretly an ASMR Video. Too calm I almost asleep
I don't know if this counts but for me personally one of my favorite controllers is the Xbox 360 controller not because of the sound of the buttons, but the vibrations in it. It's not as high tech as the PS5 or Switch's HD Rumble, but it's a very satisfying rumble when you do certain actions in games.
Easiest example is Sonic Unleashed, because despite how soft the buttons feel, when you press boost, the vibrations make you feel the impact of Sonic boosting forward right as you hit the button. Or every strong attack the Werehog can do has very little or shaky vibrations. And I'm someone who turns off the in-game music, so even when I turn off the sounds, I can STILL enjoy the feel of the controller.
Nothing can beat the sound of the GameCube Joystick, just releasing it after pulling it back makes one of the best sounds to my ears
They’re such a little novelty
both the game boy advance sp and the original ds are the controllers/consoles that i have the most nostalgia for. between taking them on long car rides and secretly staying up late to play games, i almost never had the sound on (plus the gb sound was… something) so the sound of those buttons, plus the stylus sounds on the ds, scream childhood to me.
GameCubes joystick is so satisfying
I’m so happy you made this video the sound of controller clicks and clacks like you say lol , the sound is asmr to me .
On a slightly unrelated note, I love that "Hiyaa" shirt by TerminalMontage and I wish it was still for sale on his store.
My fave controller sounds are the 3ds or wiiu the touch screens and buttons though soft yet peaceful and slightly loud or the wii remote sounds from the speaker doing a trick in mario kart or mario galaxy spinning in a launch star or shooting a star bit with the B button so lovely

It is so nice to see you doing something more relaxing and less straining on your mind and sleeping for now, man. I love the 100% series videos but your health comes first.
Notice how when you get a new kind of console. Like for example you had a Wii and then got a PlayStation a couple years after. After a couple days of getting used to that new controller, you don’t need to look down to find what button to press. From then on you get used to that. Something I’ve noticed since I got my first console.
The sound of the 3DS circle pad brings me back to playing it all the time when I was 8 to 11.
The sound I remember the most is the GameCube controller. I had a computer keyboard from the 90s and the keys made a clicking sound when you pressed them.
Controller enthusiasts are still very much into the way a controller feels and sounds, I think. I love how the Flydigi Vader 3 pro sounds and feels.
The best sound for any controller will always be the joy-cons clicking into the switch, even just the actual sound it makes.
loved this thanks bandy 👊🏻
The first bandy video of 2024 🎉🎉
My only though about modern controller sound is the Xbox series x controller's D-pad who makes a clicking sound but the rest of them I didn't notice really.
The switch pro controller/joycons and Wii U ones are already so nostalgic to me, so don't worry.
Rank every Super Monkey Ball (Deluxe) level from easiest to hardest!
I time trial Mario kart double dash competitively, and with the way the game works, we have to do very rhythmic patterns. The sound that the GCN controller makes with top level players is amazing.
When i used the sega genesis mini controllers, I always adored the whole clicking noises the controllers had
> N64 Controllers sounds like friendship
> I played Mario Party with Friends
Pick one, not both, Mario Party Destroys that Friendship
i only use the wii, i always get to hear the sound :)
Definitely on that "put on a video to listen to" side of things. I rarely actually listen to the audio in games, usually just watching youtube while I play. I swap to the game audio for cutscenes and major story segments, but aside from that I just do not care what the game or controller sound like.
