TOGP #10: "Ranking Video Game Controllers"


Listen Later

Today we're celebrating our 10th episode with a top ten list (of sorts!). We're going to be ranking the best video game controllers of all time! We've compiled a list of nearly all the mainline console controllers from the NES all the way to modern consoles and we'll be weighing in and compiling the definitive TOGP Controller tier list. We've tossed in a couple surprises here and there, but for the sake of brevity we've mostly limited our options to controllers that were included in box with its respective console at some point in time. Even still we've got a good 40 years of controllers to get through so let's just dive right in!

As far as ranking criteria, we've chosen to rank each controller from S to F

  • S tiers are considered the greatest controllers of all time. They're always the first controller you reach for when given the option.
  • A tiers are generally all-around good controllers but may have minor little nitpicks that hold them back from true greatness
  • B tiers are pretty solid but you probably don't care to use them outside of the console they were made for
  • C tiers are just plain middle-of-the-road controllers. They're not bad, but they're not great either
  • D tiers are awkward and at times clunky to wield and don't do much to excite
  • F tiers are abominations that make you scratch your head and wonder "What were the designers thinking?!"
