This may seem odd, but I like the old, simple, light NES controller, especially for Gradius. With only two buttons and a small size, it is easy to keep track of firing and "option" power-ups. That controller just "fits" Gradius 1. No complications, just fire and react.
I'm keeping it.
I picked up a top loader at GameXchange last year. And I haven't regretted it once. That small controller is fantastic.
