Aah the Super NES, how you stole the hearts of so many young gamers and continue to be the light in our eyes. The neo-retro system kept its controller simple while adding several key features still used today, including shoulder buttons (L & R) and the plus-sign layout for the buttons on the right. Every major controller released since then has used a remarkably similar layout (Sony outright copied it for the PSX pad). Here's to a legend in gaming hardware history!
