So…Link is a chick.

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…

Ah yes, more Mario Kart video goodness. If you haven’t seem them yet, watch Super Mario Death Race and Real Life Mario Kart.

Of all the Mario hacks and mod videos I’ve ever seen, this one looks the hardest. I thought I was good at Mario, but after seeing this, I’m doubting my SNES skills.

What happens when The Angry Video Game Nerds get so fed up with all the horrible NES and SNES Godzilla games? He plays some Xbox and Playstation 2. If you’re a fan of the AVGN, you know just how unnatural that is.

Here’s a humorous instruction video on how to properly hook up a NES and get it to work. This video reminds me of all the cartridge blowing, all the pressings of the power button, and all the maneuvering. It reminds me of all the anger and frustration. At least it goes away once that Contra music comes on.

Xbox 360 Broken Nintendo NES Still Works

Has your Xbox 360 red ringed? No worries! Just pull out the good old Nintendo NES. Sure it may take some blowing into the cartridge, positioning it just perfect inside the system, and a couple pushes of the power button to get it to work just right, but at least it still works. Never take for granted the old gaming console. If your fancy high tech console breaks, you’ll always have a trusty gray box full of nostalgia.

Here are two brand new gameplay videos for Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles! This game is a follow up to Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, and is also an “on rails”, arcade style shooter. You don’t control the characters movement, you just shoot, reload, pickup items, and use your knife. Perfect for the Wii and the Wiimote. Darkside Chronicles takes you through the stories of Resident Evil 2, probably the best Resident Evil game ever, and Resident Evil: Code Veronica. Check out another video below!

Decades after Link’s heroic quests, he’s stuck in a crappy cubicle, working a boring office job. It didn’t work out with Zelda, and his boss is an ass. At least he still has his legacy…and a Nintendo Wii.

The video is decent, but I’m posting it for it’s artistic value. Anybody who takes the time to make a sticky note Donkey Kong and Jumpman (Mario), is cool in my book.
