Why bros. What they hell were they thinking?
>four buttons total, same as NES
>d-pad is inferior and less accurate than NES
>controller shape isn't meant to be ergonomic to a human, even though it has curves is still somehow less comfortable than the brick NES controller

It's like they had years to simply improve on the NES controller and they blew it. All they had to do was add at least ONE more button, but no... they couldn't even do that. Meanwhile Nintendo did a complete upgrade with no downsides wit the SNES controller. They added TWO more buttons to the controller, improved on the d-pad, made the controller ACTUALLY ergonomic and comfortable, and then added the L and R buttons which have become a staple in controllers to this day.
I'm sorry but it's hard to respect SEGA and the Genesis when from the start they fucked up such a crucial part of gaming, the fucking human interface, THE CONTROLLER.
