welcome back to the second round of the Nintendo console wars in the previous installment we went over the design of each of those four latest Nintendo consoles the Super Nintendo in Nintendo's 60 for the GameCube and the week in that video I went over all features of the design but in this video we will be going over the controllers of each of these consoles to see which one did well which ones didn't so stay tuned as we delve in to the second round of the Nintendo console okay so let's begin with the controller for the Super Nintendo which is pretty much the simplest the controller Nintendo ever made by a long shot so let's go and take a look you see here it's really quite small thin but a major problem was it was not very hard if you hold it you're meant to hold it and your palms like that now you have your two L&R buttons up here your d-pad you have your a B X and why you should like to start now this was designed at a different time you know back when you know the early nineties really when the Super Nintendo was came out and everything you know people weren't playing you know you know Halo or anything like that basically it was a lot of you know like Mario side-scrollers and for that it's really quite fine you know you just you know use this use this you know ucation might do that you know it's not like there's a lot of intricate controls or anything like that you of course will be needed for today's games so if you look just like that you know this control did a really good job you know a lot of people kind of dogged on it because it was looked like a dog bone so I called it but you know it was a really simple controller you know it was very it was very smooth it was very you know pretty user-friendly as long as you know you walk your hands in there like that and for the games it was actually a really solid controller so yeah guys Super Nintendo controller was really solid not amazing but it was pretty good so the next controller is obviously from the mint now this controller to be honest was probably the clumsiest looking controller I've ever seen you have your two handles here along with the third right here you have your joystick d-pad punch buttons over here start and you flip it over Ln R and then put it over another but not here ball is an expansion slot but that wasn't usually used so just by looking at it it's a lot of stuff to look at probably the most buttons you've seen since you know like maybe the Xbox 360 but surprisingly it actually worked and it works in a couple different ways so generally you know you played it like this and you know you use like this or you know maybe you sometimes you held it like this or whatever the problem was that it was hard and you couldn't use these buttons this and this at the same time you had to hold it like this hold it like this or stop it hold it like this because it's just thumb couldn't quite reach over there and that was a problem you really couldn't uh there weren't a whole lot of shoe games and that kind of stuff in 10 to 64 at least they weren't really prevalent so you know it wasn't a big deal usually you know all your buttons were here or here or something but it kind of got weird but on the other hand there was actually some pretty interesting ways to hold this for some games you hold it like this put your thumb right here and then you have your button right here so you can actually you know like like for a flying game that we switch hands you know you're so you're flying you're shooting you know you're pressing these buttons everything and for that it actually worked really well and that was a pretty clever design unfortunately though it was a large control or I mean you can see the size of my hands you know it's a very very large controller and especially I mean I've got pretty decent-sized hands and you know obviously I can't really play it very well like holding like that you know just really stretch stretch your hands so it was kind of a little difficult to play with some games but still it was a pretty unique controller I know I can't say that I'm not that sad that it's gone now but it's a pretty unique controller and it did work fairly well so the third controller is obviously going to be from the Nintendo GameCube now I'll say off the bat this was probably one of the least light controllers ever as you can see why it has a very narrow shape so no you hit basically like a boomerang shape you know you have these you know for a lot of games it didn't work too well it was kind of cramped your hands cuz you know put them up there you could reach it unlike on the in Nintendo 64 you could reach everything pretty well but you know your hands can sometimes get you know a little cramped or something because you're squeezing it pretty tight because it's very very narrow right there that said though I actually did not mind it one bit I thought it was really solid controller as good as the original put the PlayStation 2 controller but I still did not mind this at all I'm so let's go ahead and run you guys to the buttons you have a main joystick here he had a secondary joystick here but yeah I was like doing that you have your d-pad here which actually was not that great I will admit sometimes you could hit like this button and something else would pull and you know obviously in games hit the wrong button that can mess you up a lot you have your be a lie and eggs which I actually kind of like the arrangement of that but it's it's a little dirty you start pause your Z and your l and r buttons which were nice short buttons and then nothing on the back except the and like that it was a very oddly shaped controller as you guys can see it was uh it was kind of weird definitely like when the first came out and they were showing it off people were like what that's terrible and a lot of people still think that but you know I've played it for a long time I've played three or four years and you know I never really had any problems with it I mean I don't know if it was just me or not but I thought it's a bullets all controller I mean shoulder buttons were great you can really use it well none of buttons luck exception of the d-pad sometimes and I thought eyes are pretty cool controller that says though and you know you just look see I'll narrow those are you see how oddly shaped it is I can definitely see where a lot of people have problems with it that said though I would definitely take this older than the Tendo 64 controller any day I thought it was pretty solid okay guys so the fourth and final controller has got to be for the Nintendo Wii now this is probably one of the most unique controllers have never been made and I really think is a huge huge part of why the Wii is so successful today and it of course is the Wii Remote or the remote is a lot of people call so we just unplug this right here dementia this is the Wii mote itself and as you see here it's totally wireless and with motion controls I'm sure everybody knows you know the motion controls the bowling and everything like that and you know that's a huge part of the ways of people so if we want go ahead and look at it it can it connects to the Wii via bluetooth I believe so if you know you turn on and it will wirelessly connect so has a lot of special features now you have a pad up here you have a button well well plus and minus they worked for different things I also had a speaker so some games you know you click something on screen and it will actually you will hear from the Wiimote which was pretty cool I gotta say you have your one or two buttons on the back we didn't have a whole lot of anything we have or you could hook up a lanyard but you know nobody wrist strap nobody really like that and then you can hook it up to you know a secondary control or a motion plus a lot of different things could connect to the bottom you have your B button lets you know just hold like that and then if you look at the front you have a little sensor which shoots to the Wii sensor bar which allows you to you know point and I click it stuff as well as that so it's pretty cool so if we look like here plug this in real quick if we look right here you will see that this is the main secondary thing which is the nunchuck very simple obviously it connects here and very very simple you have just a couple just have basically two buttons and a joystick and you know together you know you could you know this also had motion control so you know you could punch and do different things shake into whatever anyway it was pretty cool they also have a couple other things such as a classic controller which looks very very similar to the NES I mean that Super Nintendo controller I do not have one of those so I can't show you guys this but when you bought a wii these this is what come in the box and so everybody pretty much should have that at least so the Wii controller pretty solid I gotta admit I'm not a huge fan of all the motion controller thing and full of gimmicky but there's no doubt that it's been a huge sale successfully so and you know it's lots of fun to use so it's kind of hard to say no to that so guys it should be no surprise to you that the Wii has an absolutely fantastic controller that just brings packs just so much innovation in with the sensors with the Bluetooth with the speaker with the motion controls I mean it really has the whole package especially as you can hook up secondary controllers such as the nunchuck or the plastic bowl which really just give it a huge huge appeal and it's probably the number one reason why the Wii is as good as it is now each of them had their pros and cons but I got to go with the way on this one really just a revolutionary controller anyway guys be sure to subscribe to the channel as I will be continuing the Nintendo console wars with part three coming soon anyway guys thanks for watching
