Just want to clarify I only counted controllers made by Nintendo and no plastic shells. So no Power Glove/U-Force/Mario Kart Wheel etc!

[Nintendrew]

smh I can't believe you put the dk bongos below the switch pro controller. Unsubbed.

[yodtvwl]

Am I the only one who liked the Wii Remote?

[dullblade]

10:52 You forgot to mention the Joy-con drift. So revolutionary! I don't even have to touch the stick and Link still moves 😱 Insane right?

[rtheicky]

The super scope was designed like a bazooka, not a rifle. Which is why the fire button up on the top of it.

[soggyfan]

We lost our tv remote for the longest time... the Wii U Gamepad was our savior, lol

[thegoldenmaki]

That SNES Super Scope was design to hold it like a rocket launcher.

[wintertheampharos]

“The only issue is they’re just too small.”
Well that and the infamously inevitable joycon drift.

[aram]

I loved the wii remote/nunchuck. I sucks that some game added unnecessary motion control but I really liked it in general. The motion control detection is pretty decent, the click button is pretty satisfying, and I loved that you can turn it side way to play some games, it feels versatile, it's very light to handle too

[baconos]

Nathaniel on Wii Remote: “There just isn’t much to grip to.”
*joycons snickering*

[HTPCYMC]

When are you going to rank SouljaGame controllers?

[CJPurplePrincess]

“No flaws” to the joycon sticks.

*cries in drift*

[potatolovesmoss]

The joycon stick attachment is actually really easy to take off as long as you have it off lock mode (yes that exists it is at the bottom of the stick)

[thetragedyofcommons]

i can’t believe u forgot about the iphone gosh playing legendary nintendo classics like mario run and pocket camp while holding that sweet mesmerizing rectangle?? still gives me chills

[metacob]

As a kid, one of the few things I ever took apart / tried to repair was my N64 controller. Even I could see that it was a horrible design: the stick is just grinding around in this little pit that it slowly scratches into dust. I remember cleaning it out and greasing it up a bit, which worked to some degree, but the stick still felt more wobbly from all that wear. That was 100x worse than the weird pronged shape, which actually was more comfortable to hold than any other controller I've held at the time. It actually made it all more futuristic and mysterious - like "We're entering the 3rd dimension, OF COURSE the controller has to look super weird".

Oh and the sticks on N64 controllers for demo systems in stores were almost unusable like 24h after they were set up.

They put the fire button on the top of the Super Scope because that's where it's located on an actual "bazooka".

There... now you know.

[mattias]

You're supposed to hold the Super Scope like a bazooka, resting on your shoulder. That's why the fire buttons are on top.

[Artahe]

The GC and Switch pro controllers are just something else. I don't think I can play Smash with anything other than the GC controller, and any other game is a blast to play with the switch pro controller.

[leannedannunzio]

This is one of my favourite ranked videos you have made ranking every Nintendo controller can be quite tricky for me because you have to talk about the design of it how the buttons are how long the battery life is and how comfortable or uncomfortable they are so seeing you describe the design buttons and battery life on each controller is brilliant.
