well, it was an official nintendo product. Not too many things get that kindof status. Third party products don't usually get a seal which states it being an officially licensed product, just maybe a seal of quality. Are you saying that official nintendo products shouldn't be thought of? :p So does that mean no bongos? No gameboyplayers? And I am sure that the hori pad is the best 2D game solution. Third party controllers suck on the PS2 (as they do on almost all consoles), and the only thing better would be an arcade stick, which I would not want to play megaman with. But for fighting games, SC2 is also great with a hori pad. Now the reason I say that is because the amount of arcade sticks is plentiful on the PS2 and there are multiple that would work on every console (like the Xarcade stick). That and even on the hori pad, the buttons are confugured the same, so it's still a little bit awkward. But 3D fighters aren't really all that bad with an analog stick. The only ones that really take a hit are 2D ones.
I'm not so sure I agree with your arguement, first because MGS: tTS and RE4 are the same situation to me and why should extra pheripherals not be coinsidered into games? The xbox was able to do HD, so shouldn't you think about that when choosing games that are best on a certain console where third party games and non-exclusives are involved? It's quite an important thing and costs around the same as controller, depending on the route you go of course.
