Except for fighting games.
And the d-pad wasn't great.
And the C-nipple wasn't that great.
And the weird Z-button.
And it was wired.
all pads suck for fighting games, get a stick
dpad wasn't needed since the analog stick was so perfect
c-nipple was fine, but a second analog would have been better
z button was fine, but could have been better
wired>wireless
The shape of the controller, layout of buttons, and L/R triggers are second to none.
