I absolutely love, love,
LOVED the DC controller. It was nice and hefty, and just filled up my hands in a rather satisfying manner. Also, the VMU/memory card is one of the best original features that people have desighned into a controller. The cord coming out from the bottom really wasn't a problem since you can just clip it into the back. The only issue I had with it was that it forced you to hold your palms directly parallel from eachother which got kinda tiresome in long play sessions. But I can overlook that.
DC in general was a great system. It had a ton of fun games and was a bit ahead of it's time. Vastly underrated.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
