Really? DC's take a little getting used to, but I also use an arcade stick a lot.
I really don't like N64 controllers.

I don't think anybody likes the N64 controller. The three-arm, analog stick in the middle was just a really really bad idea.

Any system pre-crash, the 32x, CD-i, 3DO, Lynx or Jaguar, Xbox, and I know I'm gonna get flamed for this, but the Saturn as well. The pre-crash systems just don't interest me, the 32x, CD-i, etc. didn't have enough good games for me to be interested, and I never liked the Xbox or Saturn.

Forgive me Segata Sanshiro...

Maybe you rot underground as Sonic runs circles around your grave and Segata Sanshiro does push-ups over it.

I like the N64 controller. Ito from RetroWareTV likes it, as well.

Nintendo has always had the best D-pads, and the N64 controller is no exception. If you hold it on the outside, between the c-buttons, the control pad, and the shoulder buttons, you practically have an SNES controller. Of course, not that many games used the D-pad, unfortunately.

I also really like the feel of the N64 analog stick. If only it was a little more durable. I like the resistance it gives to movement, and that's something that makes me uncomfortable with the Dreamcast controller. The analog stick, for me, just doesn't provide enough tactile feedback.

It was unsuccessful, yes. But the library of games on it actually contains some fantastic titles.

I like the N64 controller, but it gets a bit annoying when certain games require the D-pad over the joystick.

Kinda how i feel. I just cant get into N64 controllers. I mean its good for games that take advantage of the unique design of it, but not every game does.
