Its silly to compare controllers from across generations. The function of the SNES controller is different than that of the N64, and so on.

For its time, I prefer the Gamecube controller, even with its egregious problems. Functionally, I think the base design is both more comfortable and useable than its competitiors. However, design flaws in the shoulder buttons, and analogue sticks keep it from being able to truly shine.

I also preferred the N64 controller. Thank you for establishing a control stick as the norm! (I cannot tell you how I despise a normal control pad type a la the Playstation controller in main position during a 3D game).
