As much as folks say the GCN controller is akward, almost every first and second party game I play/own seems to fit the layout of the controller perfectly as well as seems to take the systems faster load time into account. I mean how is it that most of Nintendo's 1st and 2nd part games have no load times compared to some of the 3rd party stuff.
And the fact of the matter there is nothing that is forcing Nintendo's hand, I mean their console still sells, most of the first party stuff hits around a million worldwide and well the GBA still makes them lots of money.

3rd party companies basically just take the most likely crappy looking PS2 version with the long load times and just chance the code. Sometimes a company will try and shorten it, but some don't want to waste time and would rather just rush a quick port to make more money. But I'm not saying all 3rd party companies are bad. Some take the time to make sure it looks halfway better.
