"Does stuff like [the NES Zapper] count?"
Scott you spent two and a half minutes talking about the Poké Ball Plus
he talked about BONGOS
@@mjdxp5688kinky dong bongos
28:00 the fact that he's had a switch since launch, has owned multiple pairs of joycon straps, and has never once accidentally seen the locking lever on them, is truly amazing
Ohhhh that is what happened isn’t it
RIGHT???🤣🤣 I almost lost it when he said "It feels like I break it"
Same vibe as the people who didnt know you could press down to push out the gamecube disc
@@amysel…excuse me?
@@LuiBC3 there were articles and thread about people who would just rip out the disc instead of pushing down the button in the disc hole causing lots of used copies to be damaged in the middle.
28:00 SCOTT YOURE SUPPOSED TO UNLOCK IT AND THEN PRESS THE LITTLE BUTTON
THIS
If it's not easy and obvious to the end user like the little button that slides out the controller from the screen, then it just fucking sucks and it was probably a last minute afterthought.
@@JohnSmith-fq3rg Yeah and the fact that it's possible to put the wrong shoulder button component in and then it will never come out, when it wouldn't have been hard to make the rails asymmetrical so that that can't happen. It just baffles me that a company that makes electronics for children to interact with would miss something like that. The little plus and minus symbols are also very hard to see in low lighting.
Is that something that's in the manual? Because people don't read manuals these days. Or, ever. I was the one kid that actually read the game manuals back then.
I press the button to dislodge it, still almost impossible to remove.
N64's controller just screams "we don't know what the best way to control 3D games will be since i was just invented so here's like 10 different options someone will optimize this, hopefully"
Hahah this exactly
Scott said "Sony figured it out in a year", I mean...they probably didn't know either until Nintendo did it. That's why the first PS1 controller didn't even have a stick.
That literally is what happened. If Nintendo had realized 3D analog control would become the standard, I'm sure the ergonomic design would be different. It's primarily designed as a six button 2D game pad, with an analog control stick added on as a third option. 95% of the games ended up using that third option as their primary control scheme.
However even then, it's hard to claim that left hand control is not ergonomic. Sure, your left and right hands are definitely positioned close together. But ultimately that left hand analog control design ended up being copied pretty closely for the Wii Nunchuk.
They knew 3D games were best with analog stick. They just didn't know if 2D games or 3D games would catch on and apparently couldn't conceive of having access to a D-pad AND an analog stick
@@TheLexikitty HOLY SHIT IS THAT LEXI FRON EMKAY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
The composition of the controllers at the start was actually visually pleasing.
Ikr
That makes no since
@@dominicyeomans8107You obviously don't understand modern art.
It’s arranged in a good balance of the different grayscale shades across the intro scene. With the little colorful buttons evenly distributed throughout the screen. I think it looks pleasant. :)
I can see it in one of those pages in a magazine talking about...I dunno the games that made us ir something
One thing i actually really like about the joy cons is that i can play with each of my hands separate from each other rather than in one position, so I'm able to play in more comfortable positions for me
I’ll never forget when my friend was absolutely WASTED one day when we all decided to play smash drunk, and he was crumpled on the bed, eyes barely open, a joycon in each hand of his sprawled out arms as he continued to demolish us in 1 v 4 😂😂😭
@@DonWeaselYeehawEdition Impressive to use Smash Drunken Joy Con style
It's friggin amazing, seriously. I use knock off joy cons with my steam deck, on my PC, on my PS4, everything basically, because holding my hands together that long is super uncomfy
I hate using the controllers disconnected, but for my son with some motor control issues it is the only way he plays.
This is why I think Wiimote and nunchuck are underated as a controller. While you were still bound by the cord, it was nice to keep your hands apart and they are much more ergonomic than standard joycons.
i feel like ive heard scott’s opinion on these controllers like 5 times each
cant wait to watch
And yet still not enough
Same haha.
Scott - "Hey, you want to watch another video of Scott bitching about controllers for 50 minutes?" Me - "For the hundredth time...yes."
And it's still really entertaining
Nice call back
28:02 Scott please, you're supposed to pull the little tab at the bottom of the strap THEN pull it up 😭
Admittedly they're still a little stubborn even if that's done, but yeah
@@kirbyeatsyou5248 you’re supposed to push the button as well
This guy sounds like Scott The Woz.
I think he's his cousin, Scott The Stash.
You might wanna sit down for this
Balls
I sometimes think Scott's Stash and Scott the Woz are the same person...
But I can't confirm...
i think his inflection's the same but his voice is a lil different
I know right? They must be related
For all the weird crap about the Wii remote, using it as Samus' arm cannon in Metroid Prime is the most immersive non-VR experience I've ever had in a game
You can definitely tell Nintendo favors the D pad more than the analog stick.
*Joycon shows up
Except for the GameCube controller and the joycon, those dpads are so bad
Except the Gamecube
Except for N64, Gamecube, 3DS, joycons,
@@troopper1026 I wouldn't call the Gamecube one bad just definitely an afterthought
My hottest take is that the Wiimote + nunchuk combo is the best/most comfortable controller there’s been. With a single-form controller, the way you can sit or lie down is limited. With the wiimote/‘chuk, I could contort into all *sorts* of lazy positions and still *perfectly* play whatever (non-pointer) game I had on.
There were times I’d play flat on my back, head turned toward the TV, with my right hand (Wiimote) resting comfortably on my chest, and my left (nunchuk) hand atop my head or draped over the edge of the couch. It was glorious.
Still my preferred way to play Smash Bros, legitimately.
Imagine something like the Joycons but it's more like the two halves of a Pro controller.
(Sidenote, but sometimes I think the ideal control method would be left side of a controller + mouse)
I think that’s a bad take because the nunchuck is still wired so it’s not nearly as comfortable as the joycons
Kirby 64 took major advantage of the d-pad and buttons concept, it even brought that to the switch online port
Yeah. The 64 controller is really comfy in d-pad position but Kirby 64 is one of the only games that used it.
64 likes. Keep it that way.
watching this 7 minutes in and scott’s already on the n64. gee i wonder which controller he’s gonna talk about for like 20 minutes.. 😂😂
I thought it would be the gamepad
me too lmao guess he’s not super crazy about it anymore. this man’s made whole documentaries on that system😭
My sleep deprived ass thought you were Microwave Society.
@@cookimaus1 lmaooo i just looked them up. what a coincidence. but thanks for turning me onto new content. imma watch their shrek 3 video tn

Scott the Joycon straps have a locking latch…
27:58 Scott channeling his inner AVGN in this clip
Lol, he is, and I sympathize with him on this one. I actually broke one of those by sliding it on.
"IT BLOWS MY MIND LIKE WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!?"
@@markasscop Idk man, it's that classic nintendo jank we all know and tolerate.
"Wagling is a different sensation" - Scott the Woz 2024
I hate that word. It sounds dirty, like jacking off or something. Who tf came up with it?
I'm surprised that Scott didn't mention the Wii remote's speaker. Some games got creative with that, like GoldenEye 007 and Driver San Francisco, for example.
Silent Hill Shattered Memories got REALLY spooky with it, taking advantage of the low quality of the speaker for crackling phone calls and screeching monsters
shoutouts to Silvia having a Phone call with you right before every boss fight in No More Heroes
Not to mention all the sounds from smash brawl
@@mrtree1368the ganandorf earrape 💀
In Mario Kart Wii, the alert sounds came straight out of it lmao
The NES controller is iconic. You don't even have to do the same layout as the controller or type "Nintendo", just do the color scheme and accents and _anyone_ absolutely _anyone_ will think "videogame"
Wii U pro controller is seriously slept on. It feels great and its light with an insane battery life.
The joysticks are in retarded spots. Worthless
Needed motion controls for BotW, I think that hurt the appeal
The feel of it is insanely good.
@@danrice6562Splatoon too, because it didn't have gyro Nintendo had that absolutely insane "strap a Wiimote onto your controller" setup for local multiplayer, lmao
scott there is a lock switch on the bottom of the joy con strap, when you strap it to a joycon and want to take it off pull the lock down and it will be a lot easier to remove it.
Scott's reflection in the Wii U controller was the best part of the video.
You ever just tune in to watch scott complain that joy-con straps are hard to take off when he clearly forgets that there's a lock tab at the very bottom of the strap to hold the thing in place?
Gotta love how we didn't get the colored buttons on the SNES controller in the states because fun is banned.
The DK Bongos actually have 4 buttons, each bongo has 2 buttons on top, split in half. I reconfigured the controls for F-ZERO GX and was able to play with them successfully
5 counting start
I always wanted to eat the buttons on the SNES controller. They look like Smarties 🤤
The X & Y buttons look more like Rockets to me
The 64 controller’s A and B buttons are also looking tasty.
I know right! Ever since I saw my dad’s snes as a kid, I though they were smarties
And the eu/jp version of the controller has buttons that look like m&ms
I presume you're refuring to the red, blue, green and blue buttons of the Famicom and PAL SNES controller. If so, i agree.
An underrated aspect of the SNES controller is having concave X and Y buttons, and convex A and B buttons. It's perfect for something like Mario or Donkey Kong Country where you hold Y to run and press B to jump.
Not in PAL countries for some reason lol! All convex, though we did get a slightly nicer (in my opinion) colour scheme with the red, green, yellow, and blue buttons.
@@jb-br8bfthey did it because Americans need extra help figuring out which buttons they're pressing 😂
@@jb-br8bfYeah, the PAL SNES is the same as the Super Famicom
The Wii controller will always have a special place in my heart. The simple charm of it is what makes it stand out.
Also, The Gamepad is underrated, and overhated imo
The simplicity of the Wii controller will always have my heart
The simplicity of the controller wii always have my heart too :)
You have my heart 😳
46:08 "...that's too big to bring on to the carpet down here."
-Scott, maintaining the fiction of the carpet actually being on the floor
By "down here" he means downstairs. Or maybe it's south on a map
my all-time favorite fact about the Wii U is that the console has the built-in ability to have two Gamepads connected simultaneously.
no game ever used this feature and it was never advertised.
The Wii U Pro controller was nearly perfect, having the dpad and buttons at the bottom recreated the SNES format as well as made it unique from the competition.
I also find the sticks at the top comfy for 3d games. I sometimes still use my pro controller on the switch with an adapter.
Hot take: I think the Wii U game pad is fantastic for open world games. Having a map on your bottom screen allows for the HUD to be less obtrusive, since it doesn’t need a mini map, you almost never need to pause the game to scroll the map or place waypoints and you can easily track down collectibles
It worked wonders for the Batman Arkham games, and the gamepad is still my favorite controller for those games. You could just fly around, collecting riddler trophies, without needing to pause once. Since all the necessary info was available at all times on the gamepad. It’s incredibly immersive
Did it make the Wii U unnecessarily expensive? Yes, does the Wii U have very few open world games, let alone ones that used it (cough couch, breath of the Wild)? Yes. But damn it, when it’s used well, it makes open world games so much better and immersive
I also think that the type of touch screen on the Wii U GamePad is perfect for it. A quick tap with one finger is all you need when using it in conjunction with the buttons. On top of that, drawing/writing input is much better due to using a stylus (you need a super expensive pen to have the same effect on a modern touch screen, as the regular stylus for those screens are awful to use).
Wind Waker and Twilight Princess both benefited a lot from the GamePad.

@@TheMysteryDriver Nah, I like watching movies, not listening to a dude summarizing them for 6 hours while throwing in an occasional rant about Donald Trump or something.
No Power Glove? 0/10 video. Sorry Scott, I don't make the rules.
You didn’t mention that the Wii remote Was the first Nintendo controller that had sound, the first with a button to turn on the console from across the room, and the first to have built in storage in the remote itself to bring mii’s from your house to a friends house. And I’m not sure if the wavebird ever had a rechargeable add on but the Wii remote may also be the first rechargeable controller with an optional accessory with a charging dock.
9:25
Fun side fact - the Atari wireless didn't use IR, but medium band RF.
Of course, that had a totally different set of problems, but they did better than IR trash.
Nintendo making a normal controller challenge: IMPOSSIBLE
When Nintendo has more controllers than Atari, Sega, Sony and Microsoft combined.
they've been in the business for the longest most consistent time of course they have more controllers
@Landon_H yah I don't get the point of this comment
@Landon_H they Also are originally a toy company so they love their gimmicks
Both in amount and also all of them being unique and not just an updated/upgraded version like PS2 going to PS3 controller
This is great BUT WHERES THE L BUTTON?
That is the cleanest most shiny game pad I’ve ever seen in my life
"Great ideas Nintendo! Let's do better next time." Is EXACTLY how I feel about the joy-cons. I honestly hated using those things from the very first moment I had them in my hands.
Out of all the controllers Scott didn't talk about the SNES mouse was one of them
Man the GameCube controller being so good genuinely perplexes me
It’s so weirdly shaped and constructed but it just feels so right in my hands
Smash bros isn’t the same for me without it and I use a third party replica to play other platform fighters like Multiversus on my PS5 bc of how good it is for platform fighters and (most) games in general
The game cube controller is the only controller that will live on in all future generations as long as thier is a smash game there will be gamecube controllers though they might one day be considered smash controllers since the new ones have the smash logo on it instead of saying gamecube
The Gamecube controller is very fine-tuned and makes for specific use. (i.e.mainly for 3D gaming and including only the essential buttons to play) So while it isn't great at general gaming where the layouts are expected to be more standard, it absolutely shine when the game take advantage of the design.
I mean, there never been a more satisfying A button to mash on than this, at least in my opinion.
My favorite mainline Nintendo controller is the SNES, because it set the standard, but my all time favorite Nintendo controller is the Switch Pro controller!
Shoutout to the few games that actually used the n64 d-pad as the main directional source: Kibry64, Pokemon Stadium 1+2, Pokemon Puzzle League, Clay Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Dr. Mario and Tetrisphere.
Mischief Makers on suicide watch
no mercy too
Playing Mega Man 9 with the sideways Wiimote was actually pretty sweet, small D-pad aside. It just felt right.
I feel like Scott made this video to show that he has a Color Game 6 in the original box.

And I love it.
The WiiU pro controller is hands down my favourite. Perfect ergonomics (symmetrical > asymmetrical sticks), great d pad and everything worth playing on the WiiU uses it. Wish they’d just slapped some analogue triggers on it and used it as the Switch Pro controller.
this is really just his main channel now this is just the controller video on the floor😭
Gamecube controller will always be my favorite. Definitely somewhat rooted in nostalgia, but it's so comfortable and the twin sticks along with the analog shoulder buttons and every button being a little different so you know where everything is...just perfect to me
The analogue triggers on the Gamecube were used in a tonne of games, Super Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, FZero GX, Kirby's Air Ride, Metroid Prime, Star Fox Adventures.
I replayed Metroid Prime 3 last year and caught myself just holding and appreciating the Nunchuk. It's sooo excellent in its design shape and ergonomic form factor. It's holds soo nice and its just so simple. Really had a huge appreciation for its design 15 years later
Gamecube controller has to be one of the most comfortable controllers I've ever held. That thing is on another level.
Gonna be honest?
I like separate button D-Pads more than a single wobbly unit. My favorite D-Pad though is the Xbox Series controller with the very clicky separate buttons under the concave shell
Comments section whenever Scott does unspeakable things to his collection in the videos: "haha, so relatable."
Comments section when Scott doesn't use the intended way of removing the joycon strap: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
While watching this video I never really looked at the N64 controller for so long and now it looks... so alien and weird. I'm so used to looking at it at a glance and remembering how iconic it is, but when you really study how it's shaped and the button layouts... this thing is a freak.
I played smash with a gamecube controller for the first time about two months ago. It was honestly amazing, it felt like it melted in my hands, if that makes sense. It just... Works
The A button on the pokeball plus is the joystick. I once accidentally ran from zapdos because of it and had to re-fight the elite 4 so i can actually catch the damn bird.
Sony actually had a dual analog controller pre-dating the Dual Shock but it was only on the market for like, three months before being replaced entirely by the Dual Shock.
I played all of Breath of the Wild with the Wii U Gamepad. And I loved it. It was actually quite comfortable. The size made it so my hands were in a more relaxed position for my arms and shoulders. And the buttons felt good. Now, I wouldn't want them to bring it back, but I liked it at the time.
I havent watched it yet. Even the virtual boy?
Wow, even the virtual boy.
Scott dropping another hint at the upcoming L button episode?
The nintendo 64 controller will always remain a special place in my heart.
The Wii remote is one of the best ever dude. Playing with one hand on the belly and the other one behind your head is the best!. Also, it's multi-funcional
hearing that Scott doesn't own an original model Famicom makes me sad as someone who owns like 6 of them and one of them is the rare square rubber button variant
I love this channel Scott could talk about anything on here and I'm all ears
46:37 i wasn't expecting to have such a visceral and horrified reaction to the letters on the buttons being lowercase on a couple of those controllers, but here we are
I'm glad to hear Scott talking about his control issues.
wii u had a good controller purely because it felt amazing to play on, i was able to play botw for HOURS and not get tired of holding it
I played a lot of Monster Hunter Tri, and Virtual Console games on that Wii Classic controller. My parents also got me a clip-on grip so it had little wings. Later I got a black Pro for Monster Hunter. Honestly I like the classic without wings, but yeah the Pro's wings do help and the should buttons being stacked vertically helps a lot too.
This is one of the videos where Scott talks about controllers of all time
I really liked the WiiU gamepad and Pro Controller, they just felt nice in my hands.
27:58 *SCOTT YOU MAKING ME ANGRY!!!* You're supposed to pull the small letter at bottom first and then push the little button to release the Joy Con form the Joy Con Strap! No wonder you have a hard time to get it off!
Scott’s face in the reflection if the WiiU GamePad
The virtual boy had a dedicated controller too. If you are looking for D-pads .. here you have two :-D
ok, I wrote it too soon. Virtual boy is mentioned after the switch
The Gamepad is great. Comfy, can play off TV and inspiration for the Steam Deck.
That one part on the bottom of the controller that has no use, it was supposed to be the plug for accessories (but since the Wii U had a poor reputation, those accessories never got made)
I cannot stress how much the entire donkey konga segment looks like the box and bongos are superimposed
27:56 Scott you are breaking them. The little latch near the wrist strap is supposed to be undone to allow the bigger buttons to slide off. Everytime you brute force it you’re damaging it
30:39 don’t forget most of (all?) the DS line D-pads!
Kinda makes me wish he would’ve included handheld control layouts in the video tbh

The AA Joycon expansion gives them the caboose you're looking for, but who was actually looking for a AA battery pack addon for their controller with a built in rechargable battery
Xenoblade Chronicles X uses the gamepad super well, I think. Being able to change probes on the fly and in its own mini game, almost, was super fun.
Jungle Beat with the bongos was amazing! Getting the best combo going to score thousands of pounts was crack
Imo the Gamepad was the most comfortable controller I've ever used. It just feels so perfect, especially for a bigger guy like me.
The switch pro controller feels soft and substantial because it's made of polycarbonate, while most controllers are made from ABS, which is a much cheaper plastic.
I believe the Wii remote is also polycarbonate, but you don't touch that because it's forever in a case.
The switch joycon is the cutest controller.
there is nothing more Scott than a nearly 50-minute long video on nintendo controllers and I'm here for it
Not me over here looking super closely at the Wii wrist strap to see which iteration Scott has 👀
Turns out, it’s the original wrist strap.
For those who don’t know, Nintendo offered free replacement wrist straps (and rubber cases/sleeves) for the original controllers, as people kept complaining about the straps breaking off during play, and the remotes flying into objects/people.
Seeing an original wrist strap is fairly rare, in my opinion. I usually see the replacements, or the modern style that locks.
the wii U could've actually gotten ports of FNAF, like you use the game pad as the camera and the TV for the office.
The Wii U Gamepad turned out to be pretty good, at least for me. Star Fox Zero was a lot of fun.
Scott can talk about controllers endlessly and I'd probably watch it, it just goes together like peanut butter and jelly I can't explain it
Am I the only one who loves the switch joycons?😅
One thing to note about the Super Famicom controller, the lead is suuuper short!
I believe you were expected to place the console on the living room table in japan, rather then by the tv like in the west.
Never thought I'd live to see the day where Scott name drops the Nexus 7, that was my device for the longest time until I got a phone
The Wii remote had some extremely underutilized potential. Using the Wii motion plus as a gyro aim method on PC is amazing
I think the BEST Nintendo controller is the GameCube controller. I even use the power a GCN controller for the switch. It adds an additional shoulder button, clicking sticks, etc and it’s awesome. I know Scott covered it in his switch GCN controller video.
I can understand not in including the Wii Fit Plus or Power Pad, but he didn’t even mention the Power Glove! Probably one of the most iconic things from the NES days. Sort of understand only because the NES has a rabbit hole of things like the Miracle Piano and the U-Force which would have made this thing go on forever! Would be a neat episode all on its own though 🤔
