The GameCube Controller

 

    The Gamecube controller is by far the most advanced one of all console systems.  It is advanced but it is not built for traditional fighting games because of the button layout.  This controller is very comfortable and easy to access.  I had a Playstation and the controller was pretty good but the Gamecube controller is much better. 

    The Gamecube controller has two analog control sticks.  One is to the very left of the picture and the other is the yellow one or C button.  They work rather well for most games.  The red button is the B button, the green one is the A button.  Above the green button is the Y button in gray and right to the side is the X button in gray.  The yellow one is the C button.  There are also L and R buttons on top of the controller.  The purple Z button is the one above the R button.  The directinal pad found below the gray analog stick is not used much in most games so far and it is also a little less accessible than the analog pad.  Another good thing  about the controller is that it has a built in rumble feature to enhance your gaming experience. 

    I really like this controller over the others because it is just the right size and all the buttons seem to be on the right place.  One thing that I did no like was where the Z button was placed.  It took some practice for me to learn to use it properly on most games.  But on all games I have played the controller performed very well. 

     The official Nintendo game controller was selling for $34.99 but now it sells for $24.99 due to a price cut.  I would recommend you to buy this controller because it is the official one and it is pretty cool looking.
