- Controllers aren’t just buttons and sticks, but they’re an expression of the vision for every given console. The controller is the only part of the process in which you decide what happens on screen. Without the controller, video games would just be videos. Let’s rank them!
Thumbnail obviously doesn't give away the actual worst and best controllers...

1:01 playing mario kart with a wii balance board is wild 💀
Reminds me of the beating Mario 64 with weird controllers like garage band drums or Lego Mario.
Every new gen kid be looking at GameCube controller like wtf.💀
Edit: can’t believe I have to say this but I like the GameCube controller (a lot), but you have to admit, it looks a bit goofy.
Ummm, the GameCube controller is way closer to a modern controller than an N64 one. The N64 is the controller you should be referring to here.
You're a new gen kid, you're like 11
@@chobies5383i mean gen Z stopped at 2012 but google says 2013 so…
@@4rsenicCatnappretty sure they meant the new generation of gamers, lol.
@@TundieRice i mean.. they’d probably know? Its a pretty iconic controller
Did you know: the GameCube controller was designed with Luigi’s Mansion in mind? The dev team made requests to the teams working on the controllers. Also every button has a purpose on the game. How practical that is may be questionable, but it’s still interesting.
My favorite controller in the list is the GamePad. I have such nostalgia for it, since Smash 4 was my first real video game. Nintendo land was the second.
AAAAAND it sold 3.3 million.
true
N64 controller is severely underrated. Was the first controller to give meaty handles to make it feel super ergonomic and comfortable. I never played a game with the d pad. I agree that the c buttons were a little small
I didn't like the N64 controller either because it was uncomfortable for me but it was still good for its time at least. Yet wasn't enough to satisfy me but I did like playing N64 games.
Because of the way that controller is built, it makes it impossible to play an N64 game without an N64 controller.
@HungryWarden I just use the right analog stick on modern controllers as the c buttons. And assign the c left and c down buttons as the top and right buttons.
I love how he just says “it’s the virtual boy controller, and moves on without even mentioning it.
yeah the virual boy only sucks and it was made to suck
It actually didn’t.
10:13 yes it does, the nunchuck has an accelerometer it just doesn't have a pointer. how do you think wii sports boxing works? i also know that a lot of those things where you shake the wiimote and nunchuck don't actually work if you only shake the wiimote like dkc returns. they don't make it very apparent since it doesn't have rumble but the nunchuck absolutely has motion control
He definitely didnt do his homework on that one at all.
Interesting List. There were 4 controllers I did not see. The Nintendo Switch Online NES, SNES, Genesis, and N64 wireless controllers. My favorite controllers are probably the Wii Remote family of controllers. I also really like the Wii U Pro controller.
The Wii u pro controller was probably the best modern controller we've gotten and im really sad we didn't get the same design for switch tbh.
I must be weird. I actually like the N64 controller.
I'm not a fan of the N64 controller but it should definitely get the highest marks in innovation. Thumb sticks are such a normal part of games
Hey check out this new wooden axe I bought; the whole thing is made of wood, not just the handle. it also has a hammer on the bottom. So innovative. ;)
@Trampflick Beta Ray Bill did it first
I got pissed with the low ranking of the N64 controller, but stopped watching after the Wii U pro controller get outranked by the NES Max.
i get you, i also almost wanted to leave the vid after seeing how low the wii u gamepad is, its literally the best controller ever!
why is the Wii U pro controller lower in ranking than it should be? I guess the Wii U pro controller is criminally underrated just like the Wii U itself, but the fact that the Wii U pro controller was OUTRANKED by the NES MAX is OUTRAGOUS
"3 things you need to play a video game: console, game, and controller."
Me: watching this video on a screen I need to play mobile games...
Nunchuck has motion control
It doesnt, its just that its attached to the WiiMote which gives it the illusion of motion control
yeah, I was like, how does my skyward sword sheild work then????
the nunchuck has a 3 axis accelerometer. The feature is used in Wii Boxing for example.
@@BenjiDarius it does, literally in mario galaxy the spin gives you a higher boost if you shake the wiimote and doesn't when you shake the nunchuck and when you play as Luigi it's the oppossite
@@BenjiDarius it literally does. Play Wii Sports boxing and swing around the nunchuck while the remote is sitting on a desk or table and tell me there isn't an accelerometer in it.
I just saw the vid of ideas for Mario kart. I think they should add quests in online matches to keep players more entertained during races, and the rewards are unlock able golden skins/styles for skins. For example the tanooki marios golden unlockeble skin should be the white and gold version of it, and toad can have like golden spots on his head instead of red. Also you names 50 CHARACTERS AND DIDNT BRING UP BABY YOSHI!! That’s at the top of my list it would be hilarious. And last they should make stats for characters and karts not too different so that people can use the combos they like and still be competitive
One look at the thumbnail and I thought "You're going to hell before you die for calling the Joy-Cons bad". But I had to watch the video before to make sure before commenting.
I’m genuinely surprised the n64 controller ranked so poorly. That was a ground breaking controller at the time and present controllers probably wouldn’t be where they are had it not been for that controller! Never felt uncomfortable at all to me.
the wii u gamepad is ofc my favorite controller.
the nunchuck has motion it is not for show it works as schohield in zelda skyward sword, when you tilt it
Ikr it pissed me off when he said that.
The thing about the VB controller is that there are certain games that are great with it like how each d-pad controls each arm in Teleroboxer.
I have to disagree with the position of the Wii U Pro Controller in the ranking. It has 80 hours of battery life and is incredibly comfortable. With a third party adapter it is a great PC controller.
If you complained about the stick on the N64 controller you should have also docked the joy-cons for their stick drift design flaw.
The nunchuck does have a three-axis accelerometer when you said that it didn't have one. If it truly didn't have one how did shield blocking in skyward sword work?
Did switch stop just cut the wire of the game cube controller to make it look like he had the wave bird controller
Haha, no I’ve got 2. My dog chewed that one
@@SwitchStop 🐕🎮
Later this day after watching this I found all my dad's old nes controllers
Please rank every Nintendo console if you haven’t done so already
he already did and it a terrible ranking.
You forgot to mention that the N64 can also be with your left hand on the left side and your right hand in the middle. I think that this is the rarest method used of the 3 ways that you can hold the controller though.
the thumbnail is a better ranking than the actual vid
Turned off the video after putting the N64 controller so low. Like so many others, this video seems to only base its opinion on the N64 controller on how it looks and not how it functions, which was excellent for the time. It was both very intuitive and VERY comfortable once you actually had your hands on it. The extended handle and Z-trigger are something no controller since has been able to match.
Help I broke my pro controller, should I get a GameCube controller?
Depends on the games you play, is great for Smash tho
No
yes
My top 5 Nintendo controller
GameCube controller
Wii u gamepad
Switch, Wii u, wii pro controller
Honourable mention: dual joycon (spoiler: it failed although it would be a good idea if made more comfortable)
Dual joycon w/ switch screen is like gamepad but more uncomfortable
Good top 5
nice at least you have the wii u gamepas on it :) the best controller ever!
@@evolutioner8573GamePad is the best console remote we have had!
Love the GameCube and SNES Controller
Hellll yeah!
Just got the switch Super Pro Controller it’s amazing compared to the pro dock on the base doc the only downside Is that it just defeats the point of the detachable controllers but whatever it’s still the goat anyways
There Could be A Announcement for Super Mario Galaxy 2 because the leaked & filed GameCube Controller Patent,it’s also gonna be the case for the Wii
is the nintendo switch online snes controller worth buying?
:( wavebird doesn't have rumble tho.
Actually the first wireless controller is the CX 42 for the Atari 2600
The pro controller has weird and wonky button mapping, which is why I prefer the joy-cons
The wii nunchuck has motion and shake detection. Play wii sports boxing, if you just use nunchuck it will still punch.
I never did like the N64 Controller
I used to play on the wii u in 2020 but in 2023 my charger broke. R.I.P
Some people hate the wii u and i understand their opinion.
My controller is the Gamepad
The Wii U GamePad should’ve been replaced with the N64 controller in the thumbnail of this video
So no buzz junior 🥺
The Wiimote is Always My Favorite I play some Wii Games like.
Mario Party 8
Blazing Angels Squadrons of World War II
Super Smash Bros Brawl
Wii Sports
Wii Play
Wii Sports Resort
Lara Croft Tomb Raider Anniversary
Super Mario All Stars
Super Mario Galaxy
Mario Kart Wii
Super Mario Galaxy 2
New Super Mario Bros Wii
WWll Aces
Mario Party 9
Space Invaders Geteven
Super Mario Bros
Mike Tyson’s Punch Out
Castlevania lll Dracula’s Curse
My favorite is the wiimote+Nunchuck
15:11 I don’t really actually like the Nintendo switch pro controller. It feels very uncomfortable when you’re holding it especially near the top so I think that number one should go to the GameCube controller or Wii U pro
11:27 he doesn't know what he is talking about. It is used everywhere. Hd rumble just means that the rumble can be adjusted in strength, speed, and something else that I am blanking on. But that means that it has more than one option for rumble
If the Wii classic control is a copy of the Snes controller, than literally EVERY major controller after the Snes one is a snes controller (Namely Playstation)
Every controller is great in my opinion.
WHERES WII MOTION + With an attached Nunchuck??????????
Wii U GamePad Is My #1
The N64 controller kind of just needed different sizes, otherwise it is one of the best looking contrllers out there
The GameCube controller literally works perfectly fine in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, what are you talking about? Also NES Max that high is so whack. Wavebird is super overrated, the wired ones are more responsive and reliable, plus they have slightly better build quality in my experience. N64 controller really is not that bad, aside from the subpar analog stick which is its only real flaw.
8:40 the wii remote is the best controller!
The Wii U game pad sucks if it's white. The black one (that I own) just looks so much better.
Joy con is my favorite
I know an alternative to the N64 controller the hori pad mini or the retro fighters controller
another good vid from switch stop
💀 kids like poopIng
The n64 controller is number 1
Gamecube better
Sure Thing Mate!
Agreed
@@MrEJC53-gj9fhwhy did you edit your comment?.
I don't think it's the best but it feels better than the nes controller
Mine is definitely the pro controler
14:10 did they just say analogue triggers are useless?
The Z button is actually the select button
On the thumbnail, the Wii U controller is in the worst. How?!😢
my favourite is also switch pro controller
Not every switch game supports the pro controller
0:00 how you gonna play the game without an tv 💀
W
12:25 WHERE IS THE USB C CABLE IT'S GOING TO D*E
I will got a game cube in cosmic
That was developed by Atari
hmm
Other controllers, "Not innovative enough."
Number 1: The least innovative and standardized controller of them all.
yea even though I do think the switch pro controller is the best controller for Nintendo consoles, if you're going to give innovation so much value then the wavebird or snes controller rlly should've been first.
Joycons are the best
The virtual boy controller is almost as bad as the console itself. Almost.
Boy controller 💀☠️🍷

third
Joycons should be last
If we mention performance, it's great, but in terms of quality, the hardware in the joycons can be awful sometimes. They could easily break if you aren't careful.
The NES controller is pretty overrated by Nintendo standards

(fourth comment)
0/10 The Nintendo Switch Online Sega Genesis Controller wasnt on the top
First
second
Wii U is way better than the Nintendo switch because the we U controller has a resistive touchscreen and the Nintendo switch has a capacitive touchscreen the Nintendo switch and the Nintendo switch controllers suck the Wii u and the 3DS are way better because of their controllers and their touch screens
Nice clickbait
0:04 And a TV
first probably
