Yea, but "Hey all, Scott here! I'm leaving the door open now. No reason, just felt like it. *one contamination later* I have it all now, scoliosis, mitosis, bedbugs, bedbats!" is still really good.
Legit their new GamePad 710 is so cool, I love the silver shell paired with the colored translucent plastic buttons. Their 310 before that was cool too, but I used mine so much that the left joystick's rubber has gotten rough and started to peel little chips of itself off Only complaint with them as a controller is that even if the inputs are shown on PC as numbers, you can't change the location of the face buttons when taken apart, and I wish I could because I'm more used to the Nintendo layout than the Microsoft layout they went with. The buttons have little plastic ridges that make it so you can't swap their positions, so you'd have to file them down to change where they are. I know it's for people who don't want to change their position who take it apart for other reasons, but I feel like it was an unnecessary restriction considering they're just labeled on actual software as being "00", "01", "02" and "03" anyway

i suppose you could say Special Edition Controllers are "Second Party" insomuch that they're mostly not produced by the companies themselves but rather just officially licensed
Its wild that his video on Game Controllers is his most popular one in terms of views. Granted yeah it is a well made episode and dives deeper more than any other vid on controllers ive seen, but you dont see many citing it as one of their faves or one of Scott's best.
I think it's just because of the accessibility of the topic. If you've played even one video game in your life, you've used a game controller. It's something everyone can relate to, and it's extremely informative and funny even if you have no prior knowledge of Scott.
I’m pretty sure it was the first Scott the Woz video I ever had recommended to me, maybe because it’s such a broad topic? That might account for its high view count, but it is definitely one I can rewatch a lot and not get bored of.
Hey, Scott. I doubt you ever see this, but I love all your content. You inspired me to become a collector of games and not just a player of them. Thank you for all the knowledge and history about games you've imparted to me. -- a big fan
Well, these were made a long time ago and will be going live at random times, he said all the videos on this channel will go live over the next 3 years.
One thing i love about Scott's videos is how when you feel like the videos almost over, you check and see that you're only half done. We love the length of your compilation videos Scott
@@sprintertrueno1985 The problem with 3rd party controllers is always the sticks. Are they good on Logitech and 8bitdo? Like as sensitive as the 1st party? Without ridiculously huge dead zones?
@@steelbear2063 8bitdo and Logitech are way higher price and way higher tier than a bigben for exemple so yeah I remember my father owning a logitech controller for the ps2, wireless, it was very good
Mystery button on the top of the Wii Classic Controller was used for a clear plastic attachment that shipped with it. The attachment would slide onto your Wiimote and allow you to wrap the cable around it. The controller would then be place onto mounting tabs on the top of the attacment.
The a/b button layout on the dogbone was emblematic of how attuned nintendo was to how we used the buttons on their controllers, especially coming off the nes. It was designed for thumb rolling, where your thumb would rest in between a and b and roll left or right as needed. It's worth noting that the GameCube controller also accommodated thumb rolling, as well as heel-toe imputs (tip of your thumb and lower joint of your thumb operated two separate buttons without needing to reposition). If you don't know what I'm talking about, just pay attention the next time you play (on _any_ controller) you'll very likey notice you do these movements all the time, we just tend not to think about it.
17:06 This was a "Clip point" to attach something to the controller. I know of only one accessory that used it; a mount to hold the Wii-mote and wrap the cord up. It wasn't a bad accessory.
It’s still amazing to me how game boy advanced, Sony PlayStation 1 and the n64 where my first gaming experience as a child, and the fact that only one had native rumble in the controller is mind blowing to me, especially since rumble motors are the norm with most game controllers nowadays and I can’t see playing a game without em.
33:55 I had a pair of wireless GameStop controllers for my PS2 that my dad bought for me in about 2003 or 2004, and those things were flawless. I used them for at least a full decade before I was finally forced to throw them out due to a combination of stripped screw heads on the battery compartment covers, broken battery covers (the batteries went underneath the grips and they would get really hot after a while, so not the most comfortable thing to have against your palm). Absolutely rock solid controllers, I would buy another pair of them if I could find them again.
9:32 Before the Dual Shock Analog Controller and the N64 Rumble Pak came the Dual Analog Controller: it had new (red) and old (green) analog modes, and it was the first non-steering wheel game controller to have force feedback with the vibration function, but Japanese models of the DAC only had it. That and Tobal 2, the first PlayStation game with Dual Analog Controller support (red analog), beat the N64 Rumble Pak and Star Fox 64 by a few days. A year earlier, Sony released a twin flightstick controller that had analog functionality called the Analog Joystick. Eventually, that analog mode returned in the DAC as the green analog mode, but was removed from the DualShock onwards to cut costs.
You mentioned that NES Advantage… but you either forgot or didn't realize that it too was a third party controller, Nintendo made it official, but it's still made by ASCII Corp., as well as the SNES Advantage and the ASCII Pad controllers! 😮😮 Which the latter one is my FAVORITE controller! 😉😉😁😁
For my OG Xbox, I first had the Duke, and my second controller was a Mad Cats one. I really liked it, except one of the triggers went in too far and would get stuck inside of the controller, with the gas just floored on Project Gotham. 😂 I ended up taking it apart, and filing down the trigger hole opening so it had clearance to come back out 😅
13:41 As much as Retro Fighters made improved counterparts of the NES, N64 and Dreamcast controllers, they made a GameCube controller where the +Control Pad (cross control pad) has the primary placement, repositioning the left analog stick to be on the symmetrical side as the right, C-stick. I recommend this controller for games like Tony Hawk 3-American Wasteland, Viewtiful Joe, Capcom vs. SNK 2, and even the shmups like Ikaruga and Castle Shikigami 2.
special edition controllers, i feel this pain. you wanna use them but end up only using them a little - still worth it and no-one can stop me. DS4 and Dual Sense though are a fresh new hell.
The Wiimote and nunchuk are surprisingly great for playing emulators for NES and SNES. You can just sit down with your hands lying on the couch on either side of you, pressing all the buttons and using the analog stick to play.
The Dual Shock wasn't a response to the N64 controller, Scott. They actually had several revisions of analog stick prior, one called the Dual Analog that you left out. It was revealed before the N64 controller and the original design had built in rumble (which was removed due to poor audience testing).
20:58 I might agree. I still use my 360 controller as my PC gaming controller, but primarily because it's a WIRED controller and doesn't use a thin, crappy wire to plug into your devices like the Xbox One controller does. Still... it's a cool controller. I got the black version and primarily just messed around with Banjo-Kazooie on my tablet for about a week with it as my wireless controller and it has a really nice, solid feel and I love the matte covering they used on the controller overall. Beats the glossy finish of the Wii U Gamepad by miles. Wish there were a good shell replacement to get that kind of feel.
I can't comment on their last few peripherals, but I had a Madcatz N64 controller, several Madcatz and other 3rd party PS2 controllers over the years, an AsciiPad for SNES, and a 3rd party 6-button controller for Genesis. Most all of them worked fine for me. That said, I agree on the Boomerang 64 and SuperPad 64 controllers.
The Wii Classic Controller mystery button is for the attachment that allowed you to connect your wii remote to the bottom of the controller to allow for motion control, you press it in for the controller to grab onto it like a claw, and to detach the attachment that the wii remote was held in your press it in again to release its grip
I understand the hate, but at the time, I liked the Jaguar controller. Once you knew what the number pad buttons did in a given game, it was great. Like in Doom, each weapon was one digit on the number pad. So rather than pressing C multiple times, I could hit 3, then 5 to switch between different weapons on the fly. Also, I had a Mad Catz Xbox controller that was smaller than The Duke before Microsoft released the smaller updated version.
Been using the Razer Wolverine Xbox controller for like 5 years now and just bought a second one for a backup. Feels like it did day one, best controller I've ever owned
Big shoutout to the xbox360 and switch style Afterglow controllers. Gimmick aside, those fit PERFECTLY in my hands, the Dpad is amazing and the face buttons on the switch one esp. feel oh so nice. I love my 360 style one, it's my main controller for pc, esp. for fighting games. It's super precise~
Here's an idea for a future compilation: "The Best and Worst of Video Games". It would feature the videos of Scott going through the best and worst ranked games of all time, as well as the Best Selling Games video and The Commercial Failure.
Only Scott proudly shows off the greasiest, crustiest and most disgusting controllers from his personal collection. I always liked the ones where he's like "This. Is beautiful." And it's covered in fingerprints and hair lol.
@12:38 the reason it is so big is because company responsible with creating multi layer PCB boards (Mitsumi Electric) refused to let Microsoft use their technology on the controller. So they had to have a single layout PCB taking a lot of empty space
A few years ago I would be getting ready to hit the bars and get blitzed before work tomorrow. Now I get hyped when Scott drops a video for my Friday night.
The interesting thing about the number pad controller boom is that non rotary phones were actually like a new technology at the time so it was actually a cutting edge method of digital interaction. It was basically like the touch screen equivalent of the late 70s and early 80s
Slight date error here. The DualShock did not come out in 1997. There was a short lived dual analog controller that did, but the DualShock itself wasn’t released until 1998.
As far as I can tell for the most part, the Switch “Pro” Controller is just basically a copy of the Xbox Controller. Xbox Controllers IMO nailed it when it came to that. 👍
Xbox One has my favorite (modern) controller ever. I recently switched from a DS4 because the DS4 was wearing out anyway and starting to experience "Joy-con syndrome" and started to get stick drift, and I was tired of having to use DS4 windows for every game I wanted to play, So I got a nice Xbox One controller. The best controller I've ever used aside from maybe the game cube, but that remote is pretty much tied to its time, doesn't work out too well with modern games. You can do it for most games, but the lack of the stick buttons is the main issue.
Can’t wait for a 12 hour Scott The Woz Compilation Compilation
Agreed, his longer episodes and compilations are the best
Lol facts
Need
More like a compilation compilation compilation!
"videogames"
"pump the brakes, speedracer. Nobody puts religion in my digdug" remains as my single favorite Scott the Woz quote of all time
I was tickled by, " we interrupt your regularly scheduled me with a special report by me." Lol
I don't know "WII play do you" "is that a threat" is still the best in my opinion
I will always be obsessed with “You do math like a BITCH!” from the DS accessories video
Yea, but "Hey all, Scott here! I'm leaving the door open now. No reason, just felt like it. *one contamination later* I have it all now, scoliosis, mitosis, bedbugs, bedbats!" is still really good.
At 3:49 for anyone wanting to skip to it
Logitech does make a pretty good 3rd party control. Bet you can even navigate a submarine with one
Yeah you can navigate the inside of a submarine with it, but NOT use it to CONTROL the submarine itself!
Legit their new GamePad 710 is so cool, I love the silver shell paired with the colored translucent plastic buttons. Their 310 before that was cool too, but I used mine so much that the left joystick's rubber has gotten rough and started to peel little chips of itself off

I know it's for people who don't want to change their position who take it apart for other reasons, but I feel like it was an unnecessary restriction considering they're just labeled on actual software as being "00", "01", "02" and "03" anyway
the controller also managed to survive despite everything and everyone on board being pulverized
"MadCatz controllers aren't terrible but they're on their way up there."
That there is a slick burn.
27:05 this joke is so underrated to me. the words "were an owl pad family" live in my head rent free
Scott could rant about his bedsheets for 30 minutes and still make it interesting
ngl, I'd sleep to that for sure

That's not a battery compartment, that's where u put your blunts
one of the things about the wii u pro controller that still baffles me is it's 80 HOUR BATTERY LIFE. This thing lasted longer than the gamepad did!

We're gonna get a 4 hour compilation of Scott destroying games and hardware and I'll be so uncomfortable but I'll probably also watch the whole thing.
Probably himself too (but that'll be okay, as long as he gets his face ready)
How to spot a good controller:
Step 1: Check if there's an L button.
Step 2: Repeat step 1.
please it’s been 10 months i’m still not sure if it’s good
Step 3: CHECK THE PRIZE!
Scott’s gotta be psychic. I was just thinking about how awesome this compilation would be last night.
Well, these were made a long time ago and will be going live at random times, he said all the videos on this channel will go live over the next 3 years.

If Scott ever retires from RUclips I hope he posts a compilation of every single episode.

The Marshmallow joystick made me laugh, seriously nice addition, made my morning.
14:43 I owned this controller for a brief period as a kid and I did, in fact contract bedbugs. Scott you telepathic bastard you.
9:27 ps1 dualshock with dog bite marks lmao just like the one from my childhood
The madcatz memory card filled with nickelodeon games hits different after Scotts episode about his childhood games
12:56 I just realized Scott whispers “God I need a shower” here
17:06 This was a "Clip point" to attach something to the controller. I know of only one accessory that used it; a mount to hold the Wii-mote and wrap the cord up. It wasn't a bad accessory.
24:31 can’t get over how smooth this was
It’s still amazing to me how game boy advanced, Sony PlayStation 1 and the n64 where my first gaming experience as a child, and the fact that only one had native rumble in the controller is mind blowing to me, especially since rumble motors are the norm with most game controllers nowadays and I can’t see playing a game without em.
This video was the exact perfect length for me to mow the lawn
As someone with tiny hands, nearly every controller that Scott criticized for being too small was one I enjoyed using
For a second I got excited that a new Woz episode was out. Nope, just another compilation.
« The back is a soap dish » that’s just making me laugh so hard that he even put a damn dove soap on it 😂😂and it fits
Scott gotta be one of the best RUclips creators to ever live
17:07 they made an accessory that clips on to the Wii classic controller and gave it grip handles (sorta like the Pro)
27:36 DKoldies sells that as "official N64 Controllers" And overprice all of their stuff
Chrono Trigger Music just as the Snes controller appears, top notch.
Most of the music is console-relevant, at least on the Nintendo segments, but it's still a good choice

I rewatch a ton of scott the woz content so these compilations and clips are great
"More than a new game!" has not aged well
I don't know why, but 0:35 had me wetting myself laughing.
The MadCatz GameCube controller is actually PERFECT for Melee, outside of the eventual potentiometer wear, ofc

Does it work?
The term "hardcore Wii games" literally made me laugh out loud.....for blatantly obvious reasons.

now now, doesnt feel too much pressure trying to remember.
I understand the hate, but at the time, I liked the Jaguar controller. Once you knew what the number pad buttons did in a given game, it was great.

Geez, I'm watching this now because RUclips WILL NOT STOP recommending it. I'm expecting great things here.
32:26 I wasn’t paying attention to the screen, heard “Logitech”, and had to quickly double check to see if he was talking about… THEE controller.
I foresee an episode where Scott has a really important topic belut keeps getting interrupted, so the episode ends before he can talk about it.
still waiting for the Scott the woz video ranking video game controllers based on how useful they are for submersibles
@12:38 the reason it is so big is because company responsible with creating multi layer PCB boards (Mitsumi Electric) refused to let Microsoft use their technology on the controller. So they had to have a single layout PCB taking a lot of empty space
Its crazy how 3 episodes is shorter than any of the newer ones
Its odd to me that Americans dont pronounce the T in Buttons 6:44
I still have an original DK game and watch that works, the orange one shown in this video. I even still play it sometimes for the nostalgia.
I'm old.

The touchpad on the DualShock 4 and DualSense are actually fantastic for text input with the on screen keyboard.

Can we have a Mario Galaxy comp? It would be short, but it would still be cool.
