I've thrown controllers a couple of times - I remember doing so once when I was trying to finish Mega Man IV - or I've hit them off of a cushion so I wouldn't actually damage them (final boss of No More Heroes 2), but never destroyed anything or wanted to.
Don't understand the bit with the Wii, you could have given it to a kid that would have enjoyed it.
Controller Destruction!

Re: Controller Destruction!
One time after losing to the CPU in NBA Jam on a last second full-court heave, I got so mad I strapped my SNES controller to my Cutlass Supreme's front bumper and ended up plowing through the entrance of a local Wal-Mart.
Other than that, I feel like I'm a pretty chill guy when it comes to video games.

LOL. When we were growing up my older brother couldn't stand losing while I took it as not that big of a deal. He would get so angry he would throw them on the basement floor with just a very thin carpet with concrete just below. The 2600 in the mid 80s. He wanted to play me in Atari again a few days later. I said only if you won't destroy another joystick. He agreed. I knew I was beating him in the game and waited for his reaction he threw it on the ground again and broke it going into many pieces. I don't think I played him again head to head. My poor dad fixed so many joysticks.

Wow, probably better to play Twisted Metal of Vigilante 8 and imagine the controller is on the front of the car.

Re: Controller Destruction!
In the 90's I remember hearing about my friend Brendan breaking one of Steve's SNES controllers during a raucous game night. I think they were playing Tetris 2 at the time and Brendan threw the controller. Steve made him buy a new one.
I've never purposely broken a controller out of anger.

Re: Controller Destruction!
In my angriest gaming moments the worst I’ve done is probably kick something. I would never forgive myself if I broke something as valuable and expensive as a Nintendo Switch.
