Nintendo 3DS... Greatest Analogue Stick You've Ever Used? **Poll**

I want to set up a poll for those who HAVE a Nintendo 3DS. Simply vote and tell us what you voted for in the comments below. So I can have more answers I will try to group company controllers togther, just specify below which specific controller it is in your comment, also tell us why it is your favorite. I didn't want to add the PSP or N64 because there is no way they could possibly be the best, but I put them in there anyway. ;)

My opinion: I believe the 3DS is the greatest analogue stick ever created. I've used controllers from every system and portable that has had an alagoue stick, and the 3DS is just perfect (low height, feels great on your thumb, great resistance, excellent percision, etc). I hope all future analogue sticks will follow this formula!

In my opinion the GC has the best and most durable one. My 3DS one is already feeling less stiff. And the PS ones while at the beginning are excellent, with some time they get so bad.

Oh and the Xbox ones are just too stiff in my opinion.

Oh and putting the GC/Wii analogues with the N64 one is not fair. Probably the worst ever (even though it is my favorite console ever)

n64 is the ultimate analog stick.

The game cube, infact if you look at the game cube controller and then at the XBOX360 controller you will notice that it is basically the same remote except for a larger D-bad, Joy stick and other control stick can be pressed, and the one extra button above the L button. But away from comparisons, my first game cube remote took 10 years before it broke (well it's close to breaking).

actually, i half like it and half hate it. its very nice sometimes, but it also makes it a pain to use the control pad because of positioning.

I personally dont mind any of the analog sticks except the playstation one. i hate that one.

Anyhow, I don't think I've used a particularly bad analog stick. The Gamecube controller has gotten loose/unresponsive on me but it's partially my fault so I can't really complain. The Xbox controller (post fat version) has probably one of the nicest analogues + layouts I've felt.

xbox by far. The 3ds is ok but my thumb always slips off it. I am not a fan of the PS controllers in general. AutoPilotOn

This poll is solely about the feel and control of the analogue sticks you've used. Forget about every other aspect of the controllers or portable systems.

Gamecube.

Xbox was pretty good too, although I didn't play it much. The same cannot be said for the 360.

[QUOTE="AutoPilotOn"]That is a good point, perhaps they could add tiny little bumps on it to improve grip. Would you say you have large, small, or average sized thumbs? My thumb don't seem to slide off the stick, so I'd like to know who this is happening to.

I like fooling around with people's brains with concepts like these. :D

[QUOTE="MicrosoftISdumb"]That doesn't sound like a knock on the thumb stick. It's not the thumb stick's fault for being placed there! :P

I don't really want to mention other systems on the DS board, but its not the 3DS

I haven't used all of the controllers listed here, but My fav is the Classic controller pro.

If this was just between the PSP and the 3DS I would say 3DS all the way. But playing a lot of Street Fighter I have noticed my fingers sometimes slip off. But it is still fantastic without a doubt.

I really like the Dualshock analog sticks.

The poll is too messy. And my vote goes to the control stick of the Wii's nunchuck.Rod90

n64 is the ultimate analog stick.

It was, when it first came out, because it was the first of its kind. But it has been done much more effectively since then over all of the consoles. The 3DS analog stick is the best portable stick I've ever used, but I'd have to say overall bests are Xbox 360, followed by Wii Classic Pro, and then PS3.

the 3DS doesn't have a analog stick and it'll never replace one. Yeah it's nice to use, but I prefer actual sticks more, especially the one on the Dual Shocks

id say its the best portable stick so far but its far from the best when being compared to actual controllers

I pick the dualshock 2, the soft part for the dualshock 3 analogue fell off somehow leaving the hard part and it still works.

GC controller is the best damn controller ever made.Litchie

I prefer the PS3s mainly becase the 3DS seems to slip on my thumbs... I think its because its a smooth design and when your fingers get sweaty it slides all over, the indented design is great tho just a pity about the material used... I have indented and spiky mods on my PS3 remotes and they also help BUCKET loads, but even the default PS3 I think is SLIGHTLY better than the 3DS
