    It can't be current generation controllers like the 360's or DualShock 3.

    For me it's the NES controller. Though this is uncomfortable for today's standards, I still love the simplicity of the design.

    I have great memories of playing Duck Tales, Ninja Turtles, and Mega Man (which was very difficult, and I threw my controller down in frustration many times. The durability of this thing is astounding) so that might explain why I love it so much. Games nowadays just don't have that personal, lasting appeal to me.

    Why shouldn't the current ones be considered?

    Either way, my favorite was the N64 controller.

    SNES controller was dope.

    Best is the 360 controller though, looks and playing-wise.

    The NES and to a lesser extent the SNES controller felt indestructible.

    I figured most would post either the 360 or PS3 controllers because they are so familiar, technically advanced, and/or comfortable. Old controllers just wouldn't stand a chance, I think.

    Btw, the N64 controller was perfect for certain games like GoldenEye and Perfect Dark.

    Sega Genesis control was just an update of the NES control but started the move towards comfort.

    I played SNES so much that I now consider those the normal controls for Street Fighter games, not the 6 button arcade style pads. Insane huh?

    I liked the Gamecube and Nintendo 64 controllers. Reminds me of my childhood.
