/vr/ - Retro Games

Sure as fuck wasn't that hideous VCR remote control thing in op's picture.

Seriously?? I have to press a different button to diagonal jump??

Not to mention the big chunky plastic borders between each of the buttons, meaning it's virtually impossible to slide ones thumb from one button to another.

One of the worst controllers of all time IMO

Now, the Super Nintendo Dogbone controller? That's perfection right there. And the creators of the 8bitdo SN30 Pro know this, which is why they remade the controller with modern bluetooth, vibration and gyros for a perfect modern yet retro controller. Worth every penny imo. Might even buy multiple down the line once I have more money. They come in all kinds of colors, with optional boomerang grips incase you're a faggot pleb who needs something to grip onto with their weak pasty white millenial hands. But this is not the true way to experience this controller.

I noticed in games like megaman X for example where button mashing is critical that I mash buttons faster and more effectively without the boomerang grips. I can't really explain it better then that. I just look down my nose upon the boomerang grip community. Fuck those guys.

Anyway, the coleco television remote was one of the most ungainly, god awful, hideous controllers ever designed. I'm convinced it was not designed for human hands, but for the hands of interdimensional space monsters. Surely only a tentacled eldritch horror could find this controller pleasing to any of the senses. It is a horrifying contraption of disappointment and pain.

Rescue at Gargamels Castle was one of the worst videogames I've ever played in my entire life. And I'm old enough to remember my first Atari system. It takes the cake on shitty controllers imo

Saturn controller.

>>8894064
I technically still use a keyboard to play emulated games, pic related.

>>8894047
The one that works best for the game I'm playing at the time

>has never used a coleco remote
>thinks the dogebone is good
>thinks the coleco made use of the numpad

you must be 18+ to post here

>>8894125
something like this would actually be comfy af for point and clicks and text games

i might be grabbing something like this
how much of a potato can i use and get away with it

It's either between pic related, the Duke for the original Xbox or the Logitech F310.

>>8894047
there truly is no "best" controller
each has their strengths and weaknesses

my top picks:
virtual boy (dual d-pad)
dual 5200 sticks for robotron
colecovision roller controller trackball
(this works on all 2600 titles as well as the godtier slither port)


obvious choices:
saturn pad & saturn 3D pad
turbo duo (with sliders)
any sanwa arcade stick

>>8894206
most sony controllers not the best, but still pretty good

I was amazed by how good the Wii classic controller was for 2D games a couple weeks ago. Too bad you can't simply plug it in your PC because of all that WiiMote extension nonsense. They could've just made a wired controller but nooo, use it with your WiiMote and let it eat your batteries.
Anyways I'd use it for 2D games and Dualshock 4 for 3D

>thinks
I assure you. The underage tard did nothing of the sort.

>>8894253
wait. what? Im getting one in the mail. Ive had a wii for years now ( not the original owner) and never understood a few things the classic uses the wii mote to work? is the zapper needed at all? what about the motion plus?

>>8894058
good lord this is cringe.
>imo

>>8894303
Haha yes anon, it's like the nunchuck, look at pic related. If you want to use an actual wired controller with that doesn't require batteries you have to buy the Gamecube one.
And no you don't need the zapper or motion plus, only the regular wiimote

>>8894047
Dualshock 3 and it's no contest.

>>8894321
umm wow. that sucks
Im getting it so that I can play kirby's amazing yarn. and also I want to get into rail shooters, cuz the light guns on NES and SNES have lost the shine for me..

I have a big feeling wii stuff will maybe be hard to get in the coming years.

>>8894058
I seriously hope you get paid by the word

>>8894047
Yeah...

>>8894064
How to spot a poorfag.

>>8894242
I had the N64 version of this wheel and always wondered how something could simultaneously be so heavy and feel so flimsy.
Opened it up a couple years ago, and found it had a block of concrete in the base.

>>8894253
ralphnet makes adapters for wangblows pc/wii stuff

>>8895665
i dont understand the obsession with these
its not that much better than a normal controller
i like the idea of customizable stick-height but realistically most hands (unless abnormally large/small) do best with the standard size

the bowl dpad was basically unusable for cuphead and high-precision type shit-
so what gives?

im an oldfag so the xbox "colors" that pop up on screen for quicktime events basically always killed me because i lacked the muscle memory/familiarity -- many of the "elite" controllers lack the color identifiers for the facebuttons kek

not very elite
the back click triggers that are customizable should be standard on all xbone shit though

>>8894058
what an atrocious post holy shit

>>8894058
Reddit aside, he's absolutely right about that 8BitDo controller.

I've found a real appreciation for the PS1 digital controller. Just a simple controller with no clutter, and a real sturdy lightweight build. I always like controllers that are light but without feeling cheap.

>>8895695
I used to play CTR with my sis and we'd play rock paper scissors to see who had to use the Mad Catz and the challenge was simply trying to finish the race with this damn thing

>>8894047
Genesis controller and it's not even close. Also downside is no analog but almost every good game doesn't require one so it's fine.

>>8895914
You can adjust the stiffness of the analogue sticks, SX Standard, 360 , and really fking stiff .

It's all magnetic, Don't like the bowl use the classic D pad works great.

I removed the back triggers, I don't need them.

The long stick is for flight sims.

It's a really fking good pad.

>>8894115
Are these comfy? The new Xbox controllers feel small. Wish I had some meat to grab onto.

>>8896187
It looks so naked but I wanna touch it.

>>8894047

multiple d-pads on both sides...

No favorites for today.

>>8896692
I think they revised the controller the first wave had rubber on the grips that peeled for me. very sad and not worth the money.
the Xbox S controllers though are great.
