Sibling Controllers
Sibling Controllers is a broad category that encompasses some parts of the third-party controller space.
They are often controllers that are unconformable to hold, break easy or just look weird.
So, you passively aggressively hand them over to your sibling or friend to make sure you win all the games.
PlayStation 2
The PS2 had a vast selection of sibling controllers
MadCatz PS2
Famous for being the core example of what a sibling controller is. Breaks easily, is extremely uncomfortable and will increase your chances of winning by 50%.
NYKO iType 2
Your sibling likes to press all the buttons, all the time and keeps ruining all the good controllers! The NYKO iType 2 got you covered.
It offers the perfect solution from saving your precious controllers from your siblings grubby little hands, there are so many options to press so he/she cannot break them all?! Right?! Please??!
NYKO Airflow 2
This is the perfect controller for that friend that just cannot stop talking when you play.
The extremely loud fan will dampen out any vocal annoyances and allow you to concentrate on winning Tekken Tag Tournament.
HyperMax 3
This is the controller for the one person that everyone in the friend group hated except for your best friend. Because this person was his/her friend and a major annoyance to your perfect friendship dynamic.
When you told your mom you did not want to invite him/her you got sternly yelled at, and you got reminded that you need to invite everyone to play games, even the toxic people (thanks mom!).
So as petty revenge you gave... Brad... this controller... good luck... Brad!
Samurai PS2
One of your friends is extremely good at games and no matter what controller you throw at him/her...you lose. So, you gave him/her the most unconformable controller you could find... the Samurai. If that friend still won, you moved on to one of your ultimate weapons.
Resident Evil 4 - Chainsaw
You just lost to your friend again on using the Samurai PS2 controller, this time you will not loose... you gave him/her this the scion of ultimate uncomfortablility for the PS2. The Resident Evil 4 Chainsaw controller:
- It is big
- It is bulky
- It is unwieldy
This time you will win for sure!
Super Nintendo
Ascii Pad SNES
The Ascii Pad SNES is a bit unconformable but your sibling that was struggling in CO-OP games for the SNES needed a bit of a turbo boost... you would never use this kind of turbo controller against your sibling, right? To spam in Street Fighter 2??? RIGHT?!
Xbox
Gamemaster FPS
Well Brad... you say you are the BEST in the world at Halo and you keep repeating it over recess in school and will not just keep your mouth shut about it. Here you go, Brad... WIN WITH THIS!
MadCatz Xbox
MadCatz took on the challenge of making an even more chungus version of OG Xbox Controller that also breaks easily, a perfect fit for your sibling with small hands.
Nintendo 64
UltraRacer 64
Your sibling told your dad that you took the last Mars bar from the candy drawer in the kitchen, when in fact it was your sibling that took it...
"OK...play with this from now on.... 1 v 1, I'll be Oddjob as usual"".
The Super Pad
You really need to win this Ready 2 Rumble Boxing match against your sibling, the loser gets to clean the room... so you gave him / her this.
GameCube
GameCube had its fair share of controller but no one more legendary then
MadCatz GameCube
This legendary controller has caused several family tragedies over the years.
There you were, with your gameplan set and you only allowed your little sibling this awful and broken piece of controller while you were playing Smash.
Everything was going well until that one day some years later your mom got you a second official GameCube controller for your sibling to use.
You realized in horror of the monster you had created, like Goku from Dragonball that had rocks tied to his backs for years... you had unleashed a beast upon the world. Your sibling quickly decimated you in Smash with his/her ungodly skills using an official controller and quickly rose to fame in the Smash community beating everyone in local tournaments.
Now you sit here 20+ years later with chronic back pain, arthritis, and resentment of what you have created, pondering of those days of yore when you beat your sibling in Smash.
You no longer speak to your sibling except for the mandatory yearly BBQ your father desperately hosts to keep the family together. Every time your sibling pulls up in your father's driveway with his/her new car filled to the brim with Smash trophies and victory money... all you can do is communicate with grunts and pain.
The Ultimate Sibling Controller
There exists one controller on the market that had supreme reigned supreme several console generations. It still holds the throne to this day as the ultimate sibling controller, nothing can come close to claiming its throne.
Fisher Price: Laugh & Learn - Game Controller
Of all the controllers on this list, no one gives you as much power and joy as the Fisher Price: Laugh & Learn - Game Controller. This controller is in fact designed by the top engineers at Fisher Price to be a sibling controller.
Can you believe the audacity?!
They designed the entire product around the premise of playing pranks and tricking your younger siblings to think that they are “good gamers” and "gaming" with big brother / sister.
It is the ultimate sibling con, and nothing can ever top its place as the number one sibling controller of all time.
"Little Sis/Bro: I am the best at this game!"
"You: Sure...sure... little sis/bro you are the best at this game! (You are not even playing, MUHAHAHAHAHA!!!)"
Trivia:
Did you know that the Konami Code works on the Fisher Price: Laugh & Learn - Game Controller? It does!
