I don\'t understand where you\'re comming from. I don\'t see how anyone can think less of the DC or it\'s games just because of a little thing like it\'s controller. Yeah, I\'ve been known to poke fun at the Xbox\'s controller.. but that\'s sure as hell not gonna stop me from enjoying it\'s games. I abhor the N64 controller.. but it dosen\'t affect the way I enjoy Zelda:OoT, Mario64, or WaveRacer any less. If it\'s a good console with good games, then unless the controller is so piss poorly designed that the games are almost unplayable.. it shouldn\'t matter. The DC\'s pad was FAR from a bad design, even if it\'s not as comfortable as the PS2 pad.
And if you hated it that much.. why didn\'t you just buy a converter?
