Topic: Nintendo controllers – it’s time to demand better quality

[enigma487]

wow.  this kind of turned into a flame fest.  good.

seriously.  NES, SNES, N64, GC.  never had to purchase a new controller.  the only problem is with one N64 controller.  the one that was ALWAYS plugged into port 1 when my brother played Perfect Dark for 6 hours every night for like 3 years.  the analog stick got kind of grainy and you can see white dust that has worn off the stick itself.  wait, maybe that white dust is the crack that MarioLinkSamus is smoking.

with a name like that, how can you be so negative.

I have one wavebird, and four regular controllers.  I always use my wavebird (for single player and multiplayer), and my friends always use the regular controllers.  My wavebird works perfectly fine--like it's brand new.  Of my four regular controllers, two suffer from a mushy B-button, and one has a broken C-stick.

Is this Nintendo's fault?  Nope.  It's my friends'.  And Super Smash Bros.  But mostly my dumb ass friends.  (If you couldn't guess, one of them always uses the C-stick to smash attack.  Don't ask me why.)
