Game Controllers: First Party, Third Party and Special Editions - Scott The Woz Compilation 

Can’t wait for a 12 hour Scott The Woz Compilation Compilation

"pump the brakes, speedracer. Nobody puts religion in my digdug" remains as my single favorite Scott the Woz quote of all time

Scott could rant about his bedsheets for 30 minutes and still make it interesting

27:05 this joke is so underrated to me. the words "were an owl pad family" live in my head rent free

Logitech does make a pretty good 3rd party control. Bet you can even navigate a submarine with one

"MadCatz controllers aren't terrible but they're on their way up there." That there is a slick burn.

Three of my favourite Scott The Woz episodes compiled together? Don't mind if I do! "The back is a soap dish" will never, ever get old.

Incredible. He managed to get his game controllers view count from 10 million down to 200.

Its wild that his video on Game Controllers is his most popular one in terms of views. Granted yeah it is a well made episode and dives deeper more than any other vid on controllers ive seen, but you dont see many citing it as one of their faves or one of Scott's best.

I just realized this series is Scott getting to keep living his G4TV episode compilation dreams.

How to spot a good controller: Step 1: Check if there's an L button. Step 2: Repeat step 1.

We're gonna get a 4 hour compilation of Scott destroying games and hardware and I'll be so uncomfortable but I'll probably also watch the whole thing.

8bitdo are the only 3rd party controller maker I will every buy now.

If Scott ever retires from RU-vid I hope he posts a compilation of every single episode.

Hey, Scott. I doubt you ever see this, but I love all your content. You inspired me to become a collector of games and not just a player of them. Thank you for all the knowledge and history about games you've imparted to me. -- a big fan

Scott’s gotta be psychic. I was just thinking about how awesome this compilation would be last night.

These and the console videos are my favourite Scott videos they’re just so rewatchable

One thing i love about Scott's videos is how when you feel like the videos almost over, you check and see that you're only half done. We love the length of your compilation videos Scott

The madcatz memory card filled with nickelodeon games hits different after Scotts episode about his childhood games

24:31 can’t get over how smooth this was

He forgot second party controllers so to fill the void I’m gonna watch Mario Party 2 | Party Harder - Scott The Woz

The a/b button layout on the dogbone was emblematic of how attuned nintendo was to how we used the buttons on their controllers, especially coming off the nes. It was designed for thumb rolling, where your thumb would rest in between a and b and roll left or right as needed. It's worth noting that the GameCube controller also accommodated thumb rolling, as well as heel-toe imputs (tip of your thumb and lower joint of your thumb operated two separate buttons without needing to reposition). If you don't know what I'm talking about, just pay attention the next time you play (on _any_ controller) you'll very likey notice you do these movements all the time, we just tend not to think about it.

Mystery button on the top of the Wii Classic Controller was used for a clear plastic attachment that shipped with it. The attachment would slide onto your Wiimote and allow you to wrap the cable around it. The controller would then be place onto mounting tabs on the top of the attacment.

The Marshmallow joystick made me laugh, seriously nice addition, made my morning.

0:00 First Party 23:15 Third Party 35:07 Special Edition

As someone with tiny hands, nearly every controller that Scott criticized for being too small was one I enjoyed using

You mentioned that NES Advantage… but you either forgot or didn't realize that it too was a third party controller, Nintendo made it official, but it's still made by ASCII Corp., as well as the SNES Advantage and the ASCII Pad controllers! 😮😮 Which the latter one is my FAVORITE controller! 😉😉😁😁

I rewatch a ton of scott the woz content so these compilations and clips are great

That's not a battery compartment, that's where u put your blunts

The Wii Classic Controller mystery button is for the attachment that allowed you to connect your wii remote to the bottom of the controller to allow for motion control, you press it in for the controller to grab onto it like a claw, and to detach the attachment that the wii remote was held in your press it in again to release its grip

The Dual Shock wasn't a response to the N64 controller, Scott. They actually had several revisions of analog stick prior, one called the Dual Analog that you left out. It was revealed before the N64 controller and the original design had built in rumble (which was removed due to poor audience testing).

Chrono Trigger Music just as the Snes controller appears, top notch.

Big shoutout to the xbox360 and switch style Afterglow controllers. Gimmick aside, those fit PERFECTLY in my hands, the Dpad is amazing and the face buttons on the switch one esp. feel oh so nice. I love my 360 style one, it's my main controller for pc, esp. for fighting games. It's super precise~

14:43 I owned this controller for a brief period as a kid and I did, in fact contract bedbugs. Scott you telepathic bastard you.

Videos made specifically FOR me. Peak snippet!

one of the things about the wii u pro controller that still baffles me is it's 80 HOUR BATTERY LIFE. This thing lasted longer than the gamepad did!

For a second I got excited that a new Woz episode was out. Nope, just another compilation.

The touchpad on the DualShock 4 and DualSense are actually fantastic for text input with the on screen keyboard.

I love controllers. Can't wait for the X button video!

Slick compilation!

"More than a new game!" has not aged well

This video was the exact perfect length for me to mow the lawn

33:55 I had a pair of wireless GameStop controllers for my PS2 that my dad bought for me in about 2003 or 2004, and those things were flawless. I used them for at least a full decade before I was finally forced to throw them out due to a combination of stripped screw heads on the battery compartment covers, broken battery covers (the batteries went underneath the grips and they would get really hot after a while, so not the most comfortable thing to have against your palm). Absolutely rock solid controllers, I would buy another pair of them if I could find them again.

« The back is a soap dish » that’s just making me laugh so hard that he even put a damn dove soap on it 😂😂and it fits

The Wiimote and nunchuk are surprisingly great for playing emulators for NES and SNES. You can just sit down with your hands lying on the couch on either side of you, pressing all the buttons and using the analog stick to play.

For my OG Xbox, I first had the Duke, and my second controller was a Mad Cats one. I really liked it, except one of the triggers went in too far and would get stuck inside of the controller, with the gas just floored on Project Gotham. 😂 I ended up taking it apart, and filing down the trigger hole opening so it had clearance to come back out 😅

I can watch him all day.

Can't wait for Second Party Controllers

I can't comment on their last few peripherals, but I had a Madcatz N64 controller, several Madcatz and other 3rd party PS2 controllers over the years, an AsciiPad for SNES, and a 3rd party 6-button controller for Genesis. Most all of them worked fine for me. That said, I agree on the Boomerang 64 and SuperPad 64 controllers.

The fact that this came out a month before the pro controllers video is hilarious to me

I still have an original DK game and watch that works, the orange one shown in this video. I even still play it sometimes for the nostalgia. I'm old.

...the Logitech controller... Looks... Deeeeeply... Familiar. Especially with the Ocean Blue sticks... A reel gateway...

17:06 This was a "Clip point" to attach something to the controller. I know of only one accessory that used it; a mount to hold the Wii-mote and wrap the cord up. It wasn't a bad accessory.

special edition controllers, i feel this pain. you wanna use them but end up only using them a little - still worth it and no-one can stop me. DS4 and Dual Sense though are a fresh new hell.

A few years ago I would be getting ready to hit the bars and get blitzed before work tomorrow. Now I get hyped when Scott drops a video for my Friday night.

Honestly this guy is amazing 😎

Whenever being the 2P, we all know about the 3rd party controllers 😂

I fucking LOVE Scott the Woz.

Great video I love controllers

Top 3 most iconic Scott the Woz episodes:

Here's an idea for a future compilation: "The Best and Worst of Video Games". It would feature the videos of Scott going through the best and worst ranked games of all time, as well as the Best Selling Games video and The Commercial Failure.

I remember getting a third party 360 controller from my uncle for my birthday so I could play minecraft with my sister and was so excited, it was see through light blue, it felt alright obviously not as good as the official with but it still feels nice and nostalgic to use

Yay game controller Saturday 😊

I understand the hate, but at the time, I liked the Jaguar controller. Once you knew what the number pad buttons did in a given game, it was great. Like in Doom, each weapon was one digit on the number pad. So rather than pressing C multiple times, I could hit 3, then 5 to switch between different weapons on the fly. Also, I had a Mad Catz Xbox controller that was smaller than The Duke before Microsoft released the smaller updated version.

I’m glad the original ending music is back.

I have a Playstation 2 airflow controller. It's actually really nice, used it for years.

Geez, I'm watching this now because RU-vid WILL NOT STOP recommending it. I'm expecting great things here.

Holy sh*t, was that a B button? I don’t believe it!

20:58 I might agree. I still use my 360 controller as my PC gaming controller, but primarily because it's a WIRED controller and doesn't use a thin, crappy wire to plug into your devices like the Xbox One controller does. Still... it's a cool controller. I got the black version and primarily just messed around with Banjo-Kazooie on my tablet for about a week with it as my wireless controller and it has a really nice, solid feel and I love the matte covering they used on the controller overall. Beats the glossy finish of the Wii U Gamepad by miles. Wish there were a good shell replacement to get that kind of feel.

9:27 ps1 dualshock with dog bite marks lmao just like the one from my childhood

Cant wait for the “scott the woz series in chronological order”

The Rock Candy series was pretty solid.

Glad to see Scott and I use the same dish soap

The interesting thing about the number pad controller boom is that non rotary phones were actually like a new technology at the time so it was actually a cutting edge method of digital interaction. It was basically like the touch screen equivalent of the late 70s and early 80s

I foresee an episode where Scott has a really important topic belut keeps getting interrupted, so the episode ends before he can talk about it.

still waiting for the Scott the woz video ranking video game controllers based on how useful they are for submersibles

The MadCatz GameCube controller is actually PERFECT for Melee, outside of the eventual potentiometer wear, ofc

SuperPad 64 was my go to controller for the 64 xD

Only Scott proudly shows off the greasiest, crustiest and most disgusting controllers from his personal collection. I always liked the ones where he's like "This. Is beautiful." And it's covered in fingerprints and hair lol.

I love the fact that the dualshock was covered in cigarette burns. Someone was torturing it.

Time to handle some control issues all gamers have.

Bro that ps1 controller looking crazy. lmao

im ngl those 3rd party n64 clone controllers have REALLY nice analog sticks

The filth! The grease stains! The gunk! It huuuurts!

Mad Katz used to make awesome fight sticks like the TE2+

33:55 Funny, cause my roomate back in college had a cheap 3rd party controller for PC with the exact same design.

he's gonna have to upload a second version of this to include his pro controllers vid

The term "hardcore Wii games" literally made me laugh out loud.....for blatantly obvious reasons.

For games, I'm more to Nintendo fan but in terms of controllers, I love PS controllers. I think they're perfect. But I don't know why since I held an Xbox 360 controller belong to my friend for the first time in 2020, I had to admit, it was the best. It look awesome, it feels awesome, and really good for playing the games that I bought to play for my pc. I think no 2 will be PS5 controller. You told Atari Jaguar controller to go home make me laugh so hard lol I love your scripts and humour! you're so hilarious xD

29:23 Gosh, we should've seen the spongepocalypse coming a long time ago.

I don't know why, but 0:35 had me wetting myself laughing.

the GameCube / Xbox 360-series X my all time favorite controllers

need more wott sce thoz

Not a single mention of the Cragon Quest Slime controller. For shame, Scott, for shame.

I played my first 2 times through botw on my Wii U remote when my wife and I first moved in together and I didn’t wanna hog the tv. 😂

Can we have a Mario Galaxy comp? It would be short, but it would still be cool.

Honestly the Fairchild Channel F actually has amazing controllers.

ah yes my favorite trilogy: the controller trilogy

for the middle button on the Classic Controller, i think that was used for a addon that gave it handles, but that specific add on wasnt that common in the united states
