"Does stuff like [the NES Zapper] count?" Scott you spent two and a half minutes talking about the Poké Ball Plus

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

28:00 SCOTT YOURE SUPPOSED TO UNLOCK IT AND THEN PRESS THE LITTLE BUTTON

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"

Scott - "Hey, you want to watch another video of Scott bitching about controllers for 50 minutes?" Me - "For the hundredth time...yes."

The composition of the controllers at the start was actually visually pleasing.

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 feel like ive heard scott’s opinion on these controllers like 5 times each

28:02 Scott please, you're supposed to pull the little tab at the bottom of the strap THEN pull it up 😭

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

This guy sounds like Scott The Woz.

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.. 😂😂

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.

Kirby 64 took major advantage of the d-pad and buttons concept, it even brought that to the switch online port

27:58 Scott channeling his inner AVGN in this clip

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.

Scott the Joycon straps have a locking latch…

"Wagling is a different sensation" - Scott the Woz 2024

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.

You can definitely tell Nintendo favors the D pad more than the analog stick.

Scott's reflection in the Wii U controller was the best part of the video.

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"

One step closer to the L Button video.

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

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

Wii U pro controller is seriously slept on. It feels great and its light with an insane battery life.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

That is the cleanest most shiny game pad I’ve ever seen in my life

I always wanted to eat the buttons on the SNES controller. They look like Smarties 🤤

Out of all the controllers Scott didn't talk about the SNES mouse was one of them

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.

No Power Glove? 0/10 video. Sorry Scott, I don't make the rules.

Just today I had a road trip so I downloaded a bunch of Scott The Woz and specially Scott's Stash videos to watch during it, so this is perfect! A new Scott's Stash video! Which is just what I needed after, more Scott's Stash! Which is just what I needed after, more Scott's Stash! Which is just what I needed after, more Scott's Stash! Which is just what I needed after, more Scott's Stash! Which is just what I needed after, more Sc-

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!

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

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 simplicity of the Wii controller will always have my heart

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

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.

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

Nintendo making a normal controller challenge: IMPOSSIBLE

The switch joy con straps arent hard to take off. People just forget that the bottom side has a lock so it doesnt cone off. Pull it down and then take it off.

"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.

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.

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

Scott’s face in the reflection if the WiiU GamePad

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.

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

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.

When Nintendo has more controllers than Atari, Sega, Sony and Microsoft combined.

this is really just his main channel now this is just the controller video on the floor😭

Playing Mega Man 9 with the sideways Wiimote was actually pretty sweet, small D-pad aside. It just felt right.

Gamecube controller has to be one of the most comfortable controllers I've ever held. That thing is on another level.

40:21 I swear, that controller has the uncanny power to make the Scott holding it forget that he's ever held a Game Boy...

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.

Am I the only one who loves the switch joycons?😅

Scott dropping another hint at the upcoming L button episode?

you’re videos are awesome, keep up the good work

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

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"

This is great BUT WHERES THE L BUTTON?

I love this channel Scott could talk about anything on here and I'm all ears

The Gamepad is great. Comfy, can play off TV and inspiration for the Steam Deck.

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

I really liked the WiiU gamepad and Pro Controller, they just felt nice in my hands.

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.

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

I havent watched it yet. Even the virtual boy? Wow, even the virtual boy.

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)

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!

Stunning and Brave

The Wavebird GameCube controller is the absolute best so far

The nintendo 64 controller will always remain a special place in my heart.

Fun fact, the reason the analog stick on the N64 controller isnt on the left is because Nintendo assumed it would take time for developers to adapt to making 3D games and would prefer to use the D Pad for control. They already knew when developing it that for the next console the stick would be on the left, and that the N64 was just a transition

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

27:58 Does he know?

Imo the Gamepad was the most comfortable controller I've ever used. It just feels so perfect, especially for a bigger guy like me.

Jungle Beat with the bongos was amazing! Getting the best combo going to score thousands of pounts was crack

27:55 THERE IS A LOCK THAT YOU NEED TO UNLOCK. At the bottom of the bumper clip, where the wrist strap is, the clicky thing that the wrist strap is around locks and unlocks an extra couple nubbins to keep the clip from coming off easily

I'm glad to hear Scott talking about his control issues.

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

The Wii U Gamepad turned out to be pretty good, at least for me. Star Fox Zero was a lot of fun.

The cutest thing about the Pokeball Plus will always be the Pokemon Go stuff. Jiggling that thing and hearing the Pokemon supposedly inside it is so cute. Must feel totally magical for a kid

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

1:45 nes 3:58 snes 5:22 n64 8:34 gamecube 11:27 wii remote 18:53 wii u gamepad 24:43 switch joycons --- 29:34 virtual boy 33:07 pokéball plus 35:38 dk bongos 38:48 color tv game 15 39:17 nes extras 42:45 wii u pro controller 45:06 switch pro controller 45:57 nes zapper so i can skip around :P

The port on the Wii U is used to charge the gamepad in the base.

That wireless GameCube controller lives rent free in my head. Nostalgia overload.

The Wii remote had some extremely underutilized potential. Using the Wii motion plus as a gyro aim method on PC is amazing

It's nice to have the two wings of a controller separate, so you don't have to be locked into tight ergonomics. I really wish we got GameCube nunchucks.

there is nothing more Scott than a nearly 50-minute long video on nintendo controllers and I'm here for it

The virtual boy had a dedicated controller too. If you are looking for D-pads .. here you have two :-D

i like how he had the most to say about the wii u. very on brand
