Anyway, interesting 1up article, most of their articles are downright terrible but that one was ok.
I didn't think the Dreamcast controller was that bad though. Making it as big as a dinner plate was a really poor design choice (though I understand it was to support the VMU feature, which was an incredibly innovative idea for the time) as well as inexplicably putting the cord at the bottom.
But at least the button layout was solid, though stripping the amount of face buttons down to 4 was kinda questionable, especially when it was a system that excelled at Capcom fighting games, it's not like they ran out of space or anything.
What they should have done was reuse the original Saturn controller design and just add an analog stick. That would have been perfect.
