Software for managing 2D platformer games
2D platformers generally perform best with a responsive D-Pad, making the PS4 or Xbone controllers ideal options. Controllers from the PS3 (particularly the Xbox 360) offer poor D-Pad performance.
I rely on my PS1 controller because it works with a USB adapter I own, which also supports the GameCube controller and the original Xbox.
I recently purchased a dual shock controller for my fighting games since the one I had was causing me to miss directional inputs. I think you might have a comparable issue with platformers too. Regardless of what I do now, it's clearly impossible to miss my inputs with this device. Sony truly produces the best dpads.
