@s804 N64 because it was the best to hold

As a child, I'd never consider it too large. Now I'd say many controllers have the opposite problem: they're too small or cramped (joycons, SNES, NES, and most dualshock controllers). Surprised the one-controllers-size-fits-all is considered the norm. The only exceptions I can think of are DSXL and 3DSXL as official larger controllers... you just have to buy a totally new console.

I'd pick N64 for a few select games (Mario Party 1, for example). GC for probably most games that don't need two analog sticks or a usable dpad, xbox one for games the do use either of those.

@s804 I destroyed more than one controller playing Mario party…

How many hands did you destroy winding up shy guys and paddling in the rapids?
