best controller created., Oct 23 2001
By J. Leo "whatever" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Controller- Jet (Black) (Video Game)
It is perfect. It is so confortable and melds with your hands. Then the L and R buttons are pressure sensetive. Lets say this is the jump button on Mario. If you press it down a little, Mario will only jump a little. They also have a digi click. You will come to a natural stop when you press the analog triggers down. If you push harder you can click. Which can be used for turbo, or etc. Two buttons in one. Then the analog stick, the stick on a ball idea was ported from sony, but Nintendo reconizes a good idea when they see one. Then you got the plastic rubber feel of the stick, Which is perfect grip that won't slip. Then comes the C stick. Just all the N64's C buttons in a stick, and it is easy to reach, don't worry. The Button system is great. A is the home position. You'll be using it more often. And You can switch from A to another button, and back easy. Imagine holidng it. It is much easier to navigate from the main buttons, to buttons around it... They all are different shapes too, so you won't mistake one button for a nother. The Z button is called an 'emergancy button" it is awkardly hard to press. You need to press the edge of it to press it.. And is NOT an action button, but maybe a quick restard or etc. Well that's the GAMECUBE controller. BYE

A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Controller- Jet (Black) (Video Game)
This controller is awesome. Your fingers just fall into place on it. The L and R are curved to keep your fingers there. The A button is large because it will be the most used. An X and Y buttons are bean-shaped and are small and are prfect. A small circle size B button is easy to find. The different button sizes make it easier to concentrate on the game instead of your hands. Also very light and small. The Xbox's is very large and bulky. The logo takes up alot of room. The Gamecube controller has a built in rumble which makes it lighter(N64s was very heavy) and saves you money. One of the best things is that analog stick is the main control stick. The controller is one of the considerations you should take when getting a new system. The gamecube's is obviously the best.

Absolute Perfection, Dec 1 2001
By Jesper Warren - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Controller- Jet (Black) (Video Game)
The Nintendo GameCube controller is a work of art. Even the N64 controller feels foreign now. The four main buttons, A B X and Y, are perfectly placed and are all shaped differently, so new gamers shouldn't have any trouble. The L and R buttons (the shoulder buttons) are very comfortable and pressure-sensitive. This can be very, very, helpful in some games. The C-stick (yellow in the bottom right) converts the C-buttons of the N64 controller into a stick. Typically it changes the direction your character faces or the camera angle. The main control-stick is very comfortable and it's nearly impossible for your finger to slip off.Nintendo basically said "Stop designing games for the D-Pad" by making the D-Pad (directional pad) smaller. It still works on menus and such, but learning to use the stick is a necessity. This brings me to the Z-button, which is perhaps the only flaw in the controller. It's the blue button directly above R, much like the R1 and R2 buttons from Sony. It works, but most games are using it incorrectly. It's obvious that Nintendo NEVER intended for R and Z to be pushed simultaneously, but some developers didn't take that into account. Fortunately, you won't have to do it too often.
The built-in rumble is helpful and less annoying than the N64 Rumble Pak. And if you don't like rumble, don't worry. All the games I have played so far have a No Rumble option. The Nintendo GameCube controller is the most comfortable thing I've ever held. Don't settle for 3rd-party junk. Buy the real thing.
