Games that wear out buttons on your controllers & Handhe

[Muscelli]

Yup, the games that make that certian button or trigger loose or broken :( We have all experienced this... Feel free to add to this

PSP-

Coded arms- you need to click the damn trigger at least 5 times to kill somebody, easy way to loosen up the R button

Dark stalkers- An all around button masher, though not hard on a specific button

Socom FTB Beta- You press R and x a LOT!!.

GBA-

yoshi's island- made my right trigger un-clickable :(

Metroid zero mission- also makes the right trigger un clickable if played long enough :(

Well if you're my friend James then Ghost Recon. We were playing and he pulled the right trigger to fire and drove it deep inside the controller. It was hilarious.

The Killer Instinct series is the Great Controller Destroyer in my home... several SNES and N64 controllers have been rendered unusable by my dumbass brother over the years.

My experience has been with the PS2 shoulder buttons when playing pressure sensitive games like the Socom games . You have to press hard to throw grenades far away. I had one controller R1 button stick on me for that reason.

almost any racing game seems to wear out controllers........seems like you have to press down really hard to go fast and then hit the brakes real hard if someone wrecks in front of you and you try to stop......but the one game I wore out my only controller button on was super mario kart.....the shoulder buttons to make you hop I used them to turn alot and the right button got pushed down in......but I just hit it off the floor and it popped back out but it always seemed to get stuck from that day on

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas killed 2 X buttons on 2 seperate controllers, you have to hold them down really hard to get full speed now.

TRACK AND FIELD!!! I can't believe no one has said this, but this game was pretty much made just so that controllers would break and more needed to be purchased. I think Konami and Nintendo had a deal going back then or something. LOL

Wasn't the original Mario Party notorious for destroying the analog stick?

[joshnickerson]

I've heard tales about the first Mario Party literally burning out analog sticks from one of the mini games that involves moving the stick clockwise as fast as you can.

Yes, it destroyed two of my controllers. They had a mini game that you had to spin the stick around as fast as you could. It would destroy the stick and the palm of your hand.

Metroid Prime definitely loosened up the l button of my first gc controller ALOT.

WaveRace 64 was similar when performing stunts.

Yep, there are tons of N64 games that were controller trashers. I used to use our "old" controllers for Mario Party games. I also found that racers are hard on buttons too.

...And I can't believe no one has mentioned Activision's Decathlon for the 2600. That would win the Gold medal if ever there were a competition. When I was going for the Gold Activision patch, I broke 2 CX40 controllers and got a huge blister in the palm of my left hand that was so bad I couldn't really pick up a controller again for about a week. On the bright side, I did accomplish my mission (of 'earning' every single Activision patch) but I will never go through that again.

Decathlon is, by far and away, the king of controller killers (especially with how rigid the Atari 2600 controllers are).

[unwinddesign]

Dynasty Warriors series -- I spike no less than two controllers straight into the ground, promptly blowing them apart.

As for sticking buttons, Crazy Taxi for Dreamcast definately loosened up my R trigger, as well the A/B buttons.

Finally, Halo 2, and its white button. I'd press it so much to chat that it would stop popping up (marathon sessions of three to four hours... LOL ).

And giving you a blister from rotating it as fast as you can just to win a tug of war.

[Jumpman Jr.]

Not the buttons, but 1080 completely demolishes the N64 contoller. To do spin moves (like 180's, and 360's etc..) you need to spin the joystick around alot. The more spins you want to do, the more you need to rotate it.
I owe all of my destroyed contollers to that game

Mario Party (all throughout the series) has killed more controllers than I'd like to mention. Thank goodness Mario Party 6 has a microphone, because it's the first 'controller' I've never broken in a Mario Party match.
