Posted September 28, 2006 Oh Gross. Where the hell did that come from? Is that one of the GameCube pad designs from before the console was released? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 28, 2006 Looking at those pics you posted, pedrocasilva, it looks like a hybrid between the PS3 boomerang, the GC controller and a badly made didlo :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 28, 2006 The D-pad on GC was actually a last minute addiction. The C-Stick was added later (after they kept changing it to/from buttons). It isn't even attached to the main circuit board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 28, 2006 The C-Stick was added later (after they kept changing it to/from buttons). It isn't even attached to the main circuit board.I never read it reported like that, as far as I know... it was always supposed to be there. I've read the D-pad wasn't though, and saw pictures of the prototype lacking it. Here's a really early IGN mock-up (before SW2000), from what they knew at the time: It already had the C-stick at the same place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 28, 2006 The only good third party pads are made by Logitech from my experience. But seeing as they didn't make any pads for the GC, you should of just gone official. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 13, 2006 Where is the "Start/pause" button in those two first that pedrocasilva posted? I mean what were they thinking? A start button is in the controllers of NES,SNES & N64! (And later on game-cube too. ) Is there a start button in Wiimote by the way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 14, 2006 I think the kidney shaped b-button was actually pretty sweet. I sorta wish they kept it. GC pad is excellent, and it would be perfect if they added a larger d-pad. It needed to be just a tiny bit larger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 14, 2006 I've just picked the GameCube pad up for the first time in ages and I had forgotten how comfortable it is. Really good controller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whats with that lump of a start button? I remember the first ever cube mag i bought had a competition to win a cube. It was a spot the wrong thing which was anywhere in the mag.... It was a kidney shaped b button on the front cover. I was sad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
