I got my black Gamecube in 2004 with the Collector's Disc, and while my favorite Mario Kart game is on it as well as my favorite fighting game (Soul Calibur II) I just never really got into it.

Really dislike the controller, almost as much as the N64 controller, both of which are probably my least favorite controllers ever. Just doesn't feel right in my hands and I really don't like the arrangement/different sizes of the buttons.

I would probably sell it if not for the Game Boy Player attachment, which I use with a RetroPort SNES adapter, and that gets more use these days than any GC game.
The controller argument I could never understand. Honestly, I think people are partial to whatever they adjust to first, provided that the controller doesn't require them to contort their hands in an unnatural way. After using the Gamecube controller for years, I can't imagine playing Super Smash Bros. Melee any other way. I used to play that game highly competitively BTW. Same with multiplatform releases. After playing them on Gamecube, playing them on PS2 just feels wrong.

Same with the analog stick. A smooth and loose analog stick feels strange after getting used to the tightness of the Gamecube's analog stick, octagonal gate included. I remember thinking, after 5 years of using nothing but the Gamecube controller, that the Xbox 360 controller was the worst piece of crap I'd ever used. I can now go back and forth between them easily, although I'm still partial to the Gamecube controller. The only thing I like more about the Xbox 360 controller now are the superior analog triggers.
