>the SNES d-pad is the greatest d-pad of all time

This is how you know when someone is underage. This thing was a piece of shit that would chafe your finger before long. Especially if you are playing Street Fighter II

>Smash is a fighting game series

Still lightyears ahead of the stuff on currect consoles

>Turn based was an effect of hardware limitations

Yeah, I must have imagined all those real time games predating the first turn based one.

>doom was the first FPS

On that note Saturn d-pad is the best of all time and the US SNES controller is ugly.

>Doom is 2D

Everyone knows the original Saturn pad was goat.

>inb4 some retard brings up the Chinese knockoff for PC

>Zelda 2 was hated on release
>SotN is inspired by Metroid

it's not very precise

This is actually correct.

>better movement control for 2D games
>most important of all, doesn't chafe your fingers like the snes pad controller does

Had the Saturn done a lot better this controller design might very well have become the new standard. The d-pad at the very least would have become the new standard. Xbox 360 circle d-pad is god awful though.

Except I can play XvSF and KoF97 just fine

Crash Bandicoot is good

>This thing was a piece of shit that would chafe your finger before long.
I don't even want to know how your obese, diabetes infected rotten fingers hold a controller.

It wasn't a piece of shit i played a lot of killer instinct on the snes. It was far more precise then a playstation controller and i wont even get into xbox's horribly dpad. Sega genesis's was stiff as fuck, not sure about the saturns never used one.

>sonic was never good

>Sonic was good

>d-pad on PS1 controller was decent
>d-pad on PS2 controller was godlike
>Sony then goes full retard and drops the ball on Sixaxis, DS3 and DS4

why

Honestly this, the NES and SNES were cheap so their d-pad felt really cheap. New controllers are much more expensive but much more polished in the d-pad

>halo invented regenerating health

>Sonic is okay

The Playstation d-pad is actually the greatest.

The idiots on Sup Forums will refute this however.

>This is how you know when someone is underage.

You're that much of an underage faggot yourself, you're oblivious to the realisation that EVERY SINGLE major console for the past 25 years has based it's controller on the SNES pad.

>The Playstation d-pad is actually the greatest.

Agreed.

The best one was on the Sega Saturn.

The winners write the history books. People already posted the true greatest controller for 2D games btw.

You have no idea how much it bothers me that America couldn't get a real SNES controller.

Yes, OP posted a SNES controller.

The only thing Sega ever won were huge debts

it's not the standard because of patent law.

>that post
This is how you know someone is underage.
Nes, Snes, N64 had the best d-pads, this is a fact.
No, all Sony d-pads are equally shitty.

>never played uniracers

Round d-pads > Cross d-pads

Mega Drive and Saturn had the best d-pads.

nice try xbots. PS3 and especially PS4 are dreamlike in my hands. But then, I'm not a fat sack of shit with sausage fingers.

>your opinions is shit
myth BUSTED!

>the winners write the history books

Apparently you misunderstood what I meant there. Yes Nintendo ultimately beat Sega but that does not mean they were truly better at everything. Sega proved they had the superior d-pad design and the only reason people wouldn't know is because the Saturn flopped.

In fact it isn't just the d-pad. That entire controller beats the Snes controller to. It is without a doubt the best controller for 2D games ever made.

...

No, people don't use the SNES d-pad design because of patent law.

>The N64 was a success
It performed adequately in the US market and that is it. A distant third in Europe and Japan.

>Underage
>SNES was early 90's
>Math is hard

What is adapted nostalgia

>people liked the GC
No, people hated and mocked it even more than the Wii U. It also had the same software droughts.
It was the console the solidified the fisher price toy Nintendo consoles have ever since.

a non-term that you just invented

dpad is shit on PS1,PS2 and PS3 controllers
But vita and PS4's dpads are god-tier

I won't even say it. This pic should speak for itself unless you were still shitting in your diapers when the original games came out.

i unironically love the xbox360 dpad

I honestly don't give a shit about whatever you are currently sperging out about. Just wanted to make sure you knew how retarded you are :))))))

OG Dual Screen dpad was the fucking shit.

Youngfags constantly like to parrot the opinions of other people on the internet. What makes you think this would be any different?

>chafe
Nigga you got some feminine hands because it never did shit to mine

Glad someone else thinks so. Incidentally, why did Nintendo fear its own shoulder buttons so much? Yoshi's island is a pain in the ass because you have to stop jumping to start throwing eggs.

This.

>not still shitting in your diapers now

And you call yourself a gamer.

>[something I don't like] is [opinion I don't agree with]

Is the Saturn controller actually good or is it the meme choice because only a handful of people have actually held one?

The Gravis gamepad is the greatest controller ever designed, you know it, I know it and anybody that tells you otherwise is not only wrong, but a queer and a fag.

It's not much different than the genesis controller. Dpad isn't quite as loose, but other than that it feels pretty much the same.

This has to be bait but if it isn't.... what a gigantic underage faggot you are. Why do all these kids think their worthless opinion is worth anything. Just go back to cowadooty9000 and hopefully your mommy takes away your Internet.

nobody thinks that

I have one of these. But I upgraded my computer less than half a year later. And my new computer didn't have a compatible port and I never got myself an adapter for it.

It was a pretty cool controller though. Played plenty of NES and SNES games with it.

speaking of retro pc fags aping consoles

>commander keen, jazz jackrabbit etc are good platformers
>raptor, tyrian etc are good shmups
>one must fall is a good fighter

Holy shit that fucking kills your fingers

>jazz jackrabbit
Jazz Jackrabbit are great though. The platforming in particular might not be excellent, but the games had much more than that.
In fact. The games are kind of similar to Sonic if Sonic played more to its strengths than not.
The levels have full of secrets. The movement allows for a whole bunch of different tricks. Items and enemies you can actually interact with. Weapons that actually feel different. And it did its own thing instead of aping Mario and other games, and instead of huge mistakes like Sonic it was designed around a pace that actually plays well with the overall design of the game at large.

They're great.

>Round d-pads > Cross d-pads
Xbox 360 pad would like a word with you
It's not about the shape, but how it works underneath
Round d-pads just make diagonals slightly easier.
Also the Mega Drive d-pad was pretty shitty compared to the Saturn.

>all these round dpad loving queers in this thread

>sonic huge mistake

Why even try to pretend you were even around for JJR faggot.

Just bought this from an old game shop along with a Guncon 2.

What am I in for?

Horrible fucking opinion. The DS3 d-pad is godlike, many fighting game pros swear by it.

The DS4 d-pad has too deep of a center. Not as precise or as fast as the ds3.

How?

Similar to how you hold your small, phimosis riddled cock

I actually had one of these, and I don't know how.

He's right though. Sonic games are too fast for their own good resulting in very trial and error based gameplay if you actually try to go fast.

>the real
>different quality rubber inside
>on a console that runs slower

also
jp saturn pad > us saturn pad

I heard from anons the little stick nub for this is even better than any d-pad. Is this true? Can anyone confirm?

It uses microswitches. Feels similar to an arcade stick except with far less travel of course.
