#18: Wiimote and Nunchuck

*Listen, Watchmojo. If you want to throw hands, you just have to tell it to me straight, okay?*

This video should just say, featuring AVGN

The Nintendo wii controller is actually good

The moment they said the N64 Controller & Wii w/Nunchuck is the moment I lost faith in humanity

[joshkittrell]

You dare put the Wii remote on the list?! Also I thought we already did this list.

I'm surprised the 'HOVERBOARD'. (It was used for the Tony Hawk games) didn't make the list.
When they said the power glove all i can think is when Freddy Krueger says "don't forget the power glove" in the final nightmare.

I like the N64 Controller and the Wii Remote and Nunchuck.

[CrystalTikal]

The SEGA Dreamcast controller is actually my favorite.

I actually like the wii remote. My quick time event reflexes are not the best. So the wii remote was practically a godsend for games like their resident 4 remaster.

The Wii Remote and Nunchuck were great tf you talking about?

The Ouya’s Controller should have been on this video.

10:27 Ironically, The Xbox Controller S was initially designed for Japanese players in mind.

Remember when Mordecai and Rigby won a power glove?

My hands aren't particularly large, but "the Duke" might be the controller I've found most comfortable to hold. The only problem I had with it is the button shape made my thumb raw. Smaller controllers cause hand pain when gripped for long gaming periods.

I know y’all not hating on the Wii remote

[winter]

The N64controller was one of my favourites to use. To me, it fit my hands perfectly, and I had no problem reaching the buttons. The huge downside, though, was that they wore out too quickly, , especially since I shared them with my brother and sister. We soon played the you-know-what out of them, and went through about ten of them.

I worked in the insurance industry at the time when the Wii controllers were at their peak and the sheer number of people who tried to claim for smashed or cracked tv screens from having the controller fly out of their hands during Wii tennis, bowling, golf etc was insane.
