Evolution of Controllers Before you continue, I mean no offense to controller creationists. You may continue believing all controllers were made by the intelligent design of the almighty cloud dweller. Not even the Power Glove or original Xbox “fat” controller should shake your faith…

I love the NES controller, I enjoy the Wiimote/Nunchuk combo, and I hold my Xbox 360 controller even when my 360 is turned off. That being said, I think my favorite controller of all time has to be the Nintendo Gamecube controller.

Sure, Gamecube wasn’t the best console ever, but it was decent, still is, and the controller is amazing. Aside from the fact that it works with the Wii, the design and feel of it are perfect. The handles, the big shoulder buttons, the yellow nub, the smooth joystick, the huge “A” button, and even the unnecessary, but reliable D-Pad. Hate on Gamecube all you want; just leave the controller out of it.

Let’s hear what your favorite controller is in the comments. Check out the full picture below…

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m actually looking forward to this. Of course everybody loves the classic Super Mario Bros. This takes that and throws in new power-ups, multiplayer, new graphics, and an all new experience. Battling your way through the Mushroom Kingdom with your friends, fighting for coins and power-ups, Yoshi racing…Man, I want this.

It almost reminds me of LittleBigPlanet. You know, without the customization and level building. Imagine if Nintendo put in a level creator and some good online play.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii is currently set for release sometime in the 4th quarter of 2009. That means soon.

Check out the latest trailer for Splinter Cell: Conviction! It definitely looks like Splinter Cell is awesome again. The trailer reminded me a lot of The Bourne Identity for some reason. Probably because all it showed was Sam Fisher kicking ass left and right and he’s carrying a bag.

Splinter Cell: Conviction hits shelves for the Xbox 360 and PC on October 20th!
