It goes without saying that the controller is a very important part of a videogame console. Being the only piece of hardware that you are physically interacting with, it's critical that it is a well thought out device. It should be sturdy, comfortable, and have a solid feature set. No brainer right?

Well it turns out that it isn't as obvious as it seems. Hit the jump to see a list of the top five crappy videogame controllers to ever grace our carpel-ridden hands:

*Update* This list is no particular order. I don't think the Sixaxis is the worst controller, just one of the biggest disappointments ever and worthy of being in the Top 5. If I had a (dis)honorable mention, I would have included the Xbox 1 controller.

Welcome back to Do You Remember. Sure, we said May would be filled with SNES RPGs, like last week with Secret of Evermore, but what's the fun if you don't throw one obscure giant robot title out there that has RPG elements? This week we're talking about the game Xardion, a game developed by Jorudan and published by Asmik, as of yet unavailable on the Wii's virtual console. Jorudan hasn't really released any other notable games outside of Japan, or many games recently at all. Asmik is still doing all right, but has also been relatively quiet of late. Not that they're the focus - Xardion is. And what a strange game to focus on.

Since E3 is in just a couple weeks, we thought we'd whip up a list of our predictions of what we think the Big Three will announce at their conferences. Some interesting news has already leaked about Sony's announcements, and Microsoft has been heavily hyping their presence so it looks like it's going to be an exciting E3. Nintendo has been too busy swimming in piles of money to hype their conference, but I'm sure they'll be showing off some interesting stuff too. So onto the predictions!

• Sony will announce PSP Go!: Kind of an obvious one to anybody following videogame news in the past couple months, but Sony will show off their download-focused PSP Go!. It won't replace the PSP-3000 though, since some people will want/require UMD games. Also the PSP-3000 will get a price drop, and the PSP Go! will come out at the 179.99.
• Downloadable PS2 Games or PS2 software emulation in FW 3.00: People have been clamoring for PS2 emulation for PS3s that don't have BC capabilities, and from job listings we know that Sony has at least looked into developing PS2 emulation. Announcing this would cause quite a bit of excitement in their fanbase and press but might be too difficult to do. Offering classic titles as downloadable would at least help go a long way towards satiating the unruly crowd.

What's the saying? "A day late and a dollar short"? Well, Do You Remember is a week late and... a mortgage payment short. To celebrate this, or to repent for this, the rest of May will be filled with arguably the best times in gaming - SNES RPGs. The time when Squaresoft was king and the Genesis truly began to fall behind Nintendo (people's opinions will vary about that realization, but a fact is a fact). Since this is Do You Remember, don't expect the greatest of the great - we're not here to toot the horn of games everyone knows about. We're talking about the games that were amazing, but never quite got the love from the public they deserved. This week, we're talking about Secret of Evermore, a game that followed the formula from Secret of Mana and was the only title developed in-house by Square USA. It's also one of the more underappreciated RPGs from the SNES's and Squaresoft's reign of quality, and one that would greatly compliment the Virtual Console's offering of Secret of Mana on the Wii.
