N64 was inane. I never understood what the yellow buttons were for and I never understood what the d-pad was for. All I ever used was A, B, the joystick, and Z.
C for Camera buddy. I'm surprised you have ever picked up a controller other than a Sony controller...

What games have you played? o_o I'm positive that every N64 game I've ever played used the C buttons in some form or another
(a lot of times for camera control, but usually for various button combinations for attacks; i.e. Banjo-Kazooie; Kirby 64 is the only exception to this)
. I've only played one game which actually used the D-Pad in a meaningful way: Kirby 64, which
(if I remember correctly)
required nothing but the D-Pad, L,
Z and the analogue stick
and the B, A, C and R buttons.
The N64's controller is so weird.
EDIT:
Apparently I don't remember correctly.

My point exactly. I think they could have done without the whole d=pad half and been fine. Unless they were gonna try to do some old games.

I don't think they knew what they were doing when they came up with it. I mean the Z button becomes inaccessible while using the D-Pad, and the whole idea for view buttons isn't a horrible idea, but cutting the controllers button count down forced programs to use them as additional buttons instead. I don't think of this control to be innovative in the slightest.

I would agree that the SNES controller made the most innovative breakthrough in controller technology, but my vote for the "best" controller is the 360. Appropriately weighted, wireless, streamlined design, remote on/off, comfortable, etc.

Well, it was a tough choice. I like the NES, Genesis, and PS controllers but in the end I chose the SNES controller.

SNES is a great controller, but I gave my vote to PS2. It's the best all-around controller in my opinion. The only problem that I have with it is that the D-Pad isn't as good as what Nintendo has on their consoles. N64 was nice, but the joystick was horrible. It had no grip and it could break easily. Sony really made the analog stick better, and one upped Nintendo with adding an extra analog stick instead of having the C buttons for camera control. I also like the Dreamcast, the newer Xbox (except the crappy d-pad), and Gamecube.

Since the 2600 controller wasn't on the list I went with the 360 controller. The Dual Shock would be second. The 360 controller to me just refined the Dual Shock. Sony hasn't changed the Dual Shock in almost 10 years. Well there is teh sixaxis thing now.
The N64 controller sucks. If you need three hands to work it thats not good. The Gamecube controller is OK but I always had problems with the Z button on THPS 3.

I was going to, but I haven't had enough time with the system to really judge whether it's a decent controller or not. Initial thoughts say "Heck yes", though.
I need to buy one...

This was hard for me as there's so many good controlers, yet they all have their problems. I voted Dreamcast but frankly it would have been more easy for me to say which one I didnt like. That would be the NES. The controler always felt like it was poking in my hand.
