The Wii is Nintendo's best selling home console, thanks in large part to its unique controllers. But, these controllers went through a lot of prototypes, some which were pretty terrible. (Here's a taster: Cheddar Cheese.) So, journey with me through the history of this controller along with the Wii itself!

I was thinking it would control somewhat as the ball does in SMG, where tilting the remote forwards would make Mario move forwards, and backward made him move back, etc. And the big star button would indeed make Mario Jump, and other such controls would be mapped to the other buttons. But I suppose doing it in this manner would make many games much more challenging to control, and not in the way people would like. After all, this was made for ALL ages, including people who have never held a controller before. All in all, I would've liked to see what Nintendo had planned for the Cheddar Cheese wheel controller, and how much easier/difficult it would make games

Ultimately, Sony and Microsoft's initial impressions were spot on though, motion controls sucked and they still kinda suck unless you're doing VR. And the Wii was a fun fad and it sold but it didn't push any software sales, and that's what consoles make money off of. Nintendo printed way more money with Pokemon merchandise than it ever did with the Wii. Motion controls weren't ready for anything in 2006 and they're only barely ready for VR in 2019. I owned a Wii. I bought any game for it that I thought might be fun. I kept being disappointed because the graphics were ugly, the controls just weren't good enough and it was just too tiresome for long sessions. Crazy old Ken was probably thinking "who the fuck would want to come back from work or school and stand in front of their television waving a stick around". He was right, because beyond the initial sale, no one actually fucking used the thing to play games. This was confirmed by the fact that no one who bought the Playstation 3, the sort of person who actually buys a gaming console to play games on it, was even remotely interested in buying the Playstation Move, which was the Wii controllers but heavily improved. So the Wii only ended up being loved by the same small group of people that went on to buy the Wii U. Facts. So then Nintendo kinda abandoned the Wii concept entirely in favour of the Switch, an actually good console with good games to play on it. It still has motion controls, if you're a child and want to play around with Labo you can do that, but most people don't bother with them. Ironically, Sony actually stuck by their motion controllers and incorporated them into Playstation VR, which is the immersive experience that motion controls were intended for.

My favorite controllers are actually the joy cons from the switch. Yeah, I know they aren't perfect, and a lot of people prefer the pro controller, but I really like the joy cons, because I discovered that I actually like to play with my arms far apart, as apposed to close together holding the same controller. I also like to play in weird positions like with my arms crossed sometimes, and these controllers let me do that with ease. This is just more comfortable for me for some reason, and I really like it, so yeah, the joy cons are my favorite.

The wiimote and nunchuck is probably the most intuitive controller that I've ever used. One button per finger (mostly). Just an overall nice grip compared to console controllers that cramp my hands. Natural motion control, I still cant get used to holding a brick sideways with traditional controllers. The gyro is just so difficult.

I think that the joy-cons are an evolution of the wii mote with great improvements. With the grip, it basically is a traditional controller. If the switch would be a home console only, the joy-cons could still be a system seller. I also heard that nintendo is working on a next gen controller to revolutionize again so I’m telling exited for that as well. I think that nintendo really deserves credit for taking big risks in favor of the whole industry.

Edit (07/25/2021): I don't really like the Wii Classic Pro much anymore. The sticks are a little too hard. That is SUPER interesting. The video was put together very well! To answer the question at the end, my favorite controller is either the Wii Classic Pro or the GamePad. The WCP has a super comfortable shell, and an almost perfect D-Pad(it's a bit uncomfortably squeaky with rolling back and forth). My fingers wrap around the bumpers quite nicely. However, the sticks are a bit hard and plasticy. It's a VERY underrated controller, and I wish Nintendo gave it more attention. I love the GamePad so much because it's surprisingly comfortable. It looks like a brick, bit it fits very nicely in my hands and it isn't too heavy. That brings a lot of charm to it. It has a PERFECT D-Pad, the sticks feel great, it's durable, I like how I can play on the screen while someone else uses the TV, and it generally feels high quality. I'd say my biggest issue with it is that pressing LR can be a bit annoying, since they're so much higher than ZLZR.

My favourite controllers are the Switch Pro Controller and the Gamepad. I never hated the Joy cons, they felt like a small version of the wiimote. But the grip, nope. Whenever I use the grip in intense games like Smash, the buttons feel small the analog stick and the trigger felt weird, and a bunch of other stuff. The Pro controller fixed all of my issues. It felt like a premium controller, as if it was competing against the other consoles' controllers. Its very comfortable, the triggers are P E R F E C T I O N, the buttons fit my finger size and alot more of improvements. 9/10 The GamePad is like a switch but you have a limited range. The grips were nice, the triggers are also P E R F E C T I O N, the analog sticks are comfortable, and it felt more premium then the pro controller, but not in design, just feel. Its honestly one of the best controllers I ever used. 9.5/10

It is impossible for someone to say "The least sold Nintenso product" without excluding the Virtual Boy. I don't even know if it's even neccessary to acknowledge its existence anymore.

I think my favorite controller might be the GameCube, but that's probably just because it's stuck around for so long and that I play games (not just Smash) better with it.

I grew up with the SNES, so the more uniform ABXY layout works better for me. Especially in Smash, don't understand how anyone can make specials and hops work with button-press jumping

It is a great controller. My only issue with it is the C-stick, which terrible for FPS games. I guess it's like the Xbox 360 controller: great design, but the D-pad is atrocious.

How come nobody points out that the nunchuk is just the analog and Z button part of an N64 controller? I've seen a few videos about the Wii's development, and I've never seen it mentioned. The line up identically
