As we know the last few generations of consoles have come with only 1 controller.
how many of you buy extras.
I'm talking all game systems that you own, not just the latest release.
===============================
My List:
Atari2600 - 4
NES - - - - 4 (plus light gun and arkanoid paddle)
SNES - - - 2
N64 - - - - 2
GCN - - - - 4 (plus 4 GBA wires and 4 GBA/GBA-SP's)
Wii - - - - -4 remotes, 2 nunchuck, 1 virtual

My husband is the big video game player in the family. I mostly only play Animal Crossing games, with some Crossword DS, Brain Age, Big Brain Academy, and a few others thrown in.
I know he always buy extra controllers for all his systems. He always has at least 2 controllers for each.
Atari 2600 -- 2 joysticks and 4 paddles
Odyssey 2 -- 2 controllers
Intellivision---Is that the one that comes with the 2 controllers? I forget.
Atari 5200 --2 controllers (although one doesn't work right now)
Colecovision -- 2 controllers
Atari 7800 -- 2 controllers
NES -- 3 controllers
Sega Master Systems -- 1 controller
TurboGrafix 16 -- ?
Sega Genesis -- 2 controllers
NEO-GEO -- 2 controllers
Super NES -- 2 controllers
Atari Jaguar -- 1 controller
3DO -- 1 controller, 1 Panasonic controller, and 1 Flight Stick
Sega Saturn -- 1 controller
PlayStation -- 4 controllers
Nintendo 64 -- 4 controllers
Sega Dreamcast -- 2 controllers
PS2 -- not sure how many, but at least 2...also a racing wheel
GameCube -- 2 controllers, 2 Wavebirds (I love the Wavebird!)
X-Box -- not sure how many, but at least 2, and at least 2 wireless controllers, Controller S, Racing Wheel, Gun
Wii -- 2 remotes, 2 nunchucks, classic controller
X-Box 360 -- sitting out right now I see one wireless controller and one MadCatz controller. But I know there are more. And 2 guitars.
PS3 -- I see 1 controller and 2 wireless ones right now.
It's hard to keep track, because he seems to throw and break at least one every few months. The PS3 controllers seem to stand up to throwing better than the 360 ones.

Kewl someone else who has a Odyssey 2. awesome.
Most of my old systems are packed in boxes though, just not enough room to set them all up. I barely have enough room to set up the ones I posted. lol
However I never throw my controllers. heh heh, I get mad at games, but thankfully I'm still in control enough to know I wont be able to buy another replacement controller if I break it. lol

Most of his systems are in boxes in the closets too. I just happen to have made a list of all that he has and all the peripherals and games with them. I'm a librarian, so I like to organize and catalog.  We're tight on space too. We live in an 850 sq ft apartment. But it does have 2 small bedrooms, and the 2nd one is the game/computer room. So that's where he spends most of his time. Right now the only systems out are the 360, PS3 and Wii. And the GameCube is at my parents and my dad and I play when I visit. The only systems that he's missing that he wants are a Fairchild Channel F and the Turbo Duo. He used to have a Turbo Duo, but once when he had to move quickly in the Army, he had to leave it behind. He still has some games for it, but not the system. We'll get one off eBay someday. His pride and joy is his 3DO. He loves that thing and still has a lot of games for it. |

Well, most of my systems are at my dad's house. But here with me I have.... (not many lol)
NES-2 controllers and 2 guns(yay duck hunt lol)
Playstation-2 controllers
N64- 3 controllers
Wii- 3 controllers 3 nunchucks and 1 gamecube controller
I don't own a gamecube but I don't need one lol.
Now, as for the ones at my dad's house I have no idea how many controllers, but I have a sega genisis and a super nintendo!
When I was younger, I loved playing video games. My brothers would always get mad (one is 7 years older and the other is 11 or 12 years older than me) because I got home from school before them and I would be playing games and my mom would always make them wait til I was done. I sure did like being the baby of the family. lol. My brothers are the big gamers though. I have a lot of DS games and over a grand in my Wii but other than that I don't really play the other consoles. Don't get me wrong, I love sitting down every once in a while and playing some good old Mario on NES lol. Oh yeah, and I can't afford to throw controllers, everything is too expensive lol.

My List:
Gamecube: 2 controllers, 2 GCN-GBA cables
Wii: 2 remotes, 2 nunchuks
I typically only end up with two as I rarely have too many others who want to play. If I do have more than one other person who wants to play, someone typically brings over an extra controller or two.

Sega Dreamcast: 16 Controllers, 2 Guns (I've got almost all of the millennium controllers and I own 5 Dreamcasts...) The pop-n-music controller, I have 2 keyboards, 2 mouses(1 is the special Neon Genesis Evangelion mouse + mouse pad) I also have the VGA plug for the DC and have about 15 VMUs. (I love my Dreamcast!) I've got the racing wheel, and the fishing rod, 2 microphones...if there was a peripheral made for the DC, I prolly have it.
PS1: 1 Controller
PS2: 2 Controllers, 2 Dance Pads
XBox: 4 Controllers, 1 Arcade Stick, 2 Dance Pads
Almost all of my friends work at Video Game Stores...one is a regional manager for Play N Trade... I think he owns every system ever made. (and over 5000 games) If I ever need anything (as I just got a free Harvest Moon Cow plushie from one of them) I can always get it.
I only have 1 DC, the Wii, the GC, PS1, PS2, and Xbox hooked up right now. The rest are in my closet... it's a giant mess. My friend says he's gonna buy us a 360 for xmas if we don't get one sooner. He keeps complaining we don't own one. We might buy a PS3 for the Blu-Ray player... We'll see.

5 Dreamcasts!! Holy Cow!! That's a lot!
My husband loved his Dreamcast too. I remember when we were dating...which would've been in 2001, he was playing some games on the Dreamcast. He liked the dolphin one...was it called Echo? And then he played...ummm...I thought it was a Phantasy Star game on it? Does that sound right? I might be all confused on that though...I didn't know much about video games at that time.

Ah, Ecco the Dolphin and Phantasy Star Online. I spent a lot of months playing PSO...My character was level 60 and my hubby (boyfriend at the time) had a level 90 and while playing online someone really screwed us over. They hacked our characters and we lost everything. We started over, but ya know... and then PSO Ver 2 came out... I loved Skies of Arcadia and I bought it again when they released it for the GC. I spent hundreds of hours on that one. Also my all time (obsessively) favorite game Grandia II. I'm such a freak about the game that I bought the import just to hear the Japanese voice overs and I also bought the strat guide AFTER I had beaten the game twice! My hubby was a huge fan of Sega so he had all (yea, if Sega made it, he had it. We've got 2 game gears and a nomad.) the Sega systems. I only had an Atari and a SNES. He bought the Dreamcast but I sorta annexed it from him. Yea, 5, We got our first Dreamcast the day it launched. Then we bought the black sports DC (and got 3 free games with it). Then we bought a third to mod so we could play import games. (I have 29 Japanese and 4 European imports.) After that we won one with the bubblicious Ooga Booga contest. (First prize, Dreamcast + Ooga Booga game and a pack of gum It's never been out of the box.) Then I bought one whist working at Goodwill. It was a Japanese DC and I just wanted the 5 import games it was bundled with. I always wanted the Hello Kitty Blue DC (my friend Matthew owns one and I'm so jealous!!). I could have gotten the pink Hello Kitty one, but it was $400... and I almost bought the Pink Sakura Taisen (or Sakura Wars) one, but it also was really pricey.(It's still $300...) My obsession with getting it is almost as bad as my obsession with getting the mint green Tales of Symphonia Gamecube, complete with mint green GBA attachment. |
