Games to destroy controllers

[Max]

Hello everyone, I hope you are having a good day, Today I need your recommendation on games that have destructive mechanics for the controls. For example, pressing buttons quickly and rapidly, moving the D-pad or joysticks abusively, you know, like Metal Slug or Earthworm Jim (that meteorite level)
The more retro the better

In case you're wondering, I have two handheld consoles (Powkiddy V90 and Anbernic RS90) I plan on destroying playing your recommendations.

If you want something very intense, then Wayne Gretzky and the NHL PA ALL-STARS for Genesis.

It's super quick and intense.

God of War Series (Greek Era): .
Dragon Ball Z: Sparking! Meteor/Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3: Turning both levers quickly with the palm of your hand to make your power more powerful than your opponent.

Contra.
Never stop spamming the shoot button while you play. (thats what I do, at least)

But in my case it would be the whole saga of Konami's Hyper Olympic/Track & Field that that was just a button mashing of pressing buttons quickly to make your athlete go very fast.

Well then you look for button-smasher games.

- Mortal Kombat 3: As you play the opponent gets hard and as you lose they get harder so in a short time they start fighting perfectly!! I actually broke the d-pad of Sega Genesis's gamepad because of it lol.

- Breath of Fire 4: It has tons of situations that you have to smash buttons a lot due to quick precise inputs they require.

- Ace Combat 3: I was almost breaking my analog lol. Though I only played its Japanese version so IDK how non-Japanese version might be.

- Star Ocean: Till the End of Time: There is the most annoying BS designed level in video game history that will require you to almost break your gamepad and you would wanna break it out of anger too!!! But Silver Surfer is kinda worse on that lol.

- Resident Evil 4: IDK the remake but the original has the most BS quick time event gameplay I ever experienced. It would be usual for you to break your gamepad lol.

- Guitar Hero series: For the fun of it you may lose yourself to playing the music and break your analog!!! lol

Honourable mention:

- Counter Strike, 360 no scope!!!!: I know a guy whose son actually broke his arm trying to do that new generation trend by punching the screen with a mouse so hard it broke its arm, hand, the mouse and the screen lolol.

Thank you very much, I see there is also a version for Mega Drive, I will try both, to see if I get fond of sports games.

Mario Party 1 and 2
Can destroy your joystick and your palm

All the Mario Party games.
and all games on the N64 that required the use of the stick.

 

[Kamako]

Devil May Cry 3, the fishing minigame in RDR2, Jordan/Through the Fire and Flames played on expert on Guitar Hero 2/3, any song with double bass played on Rock Band drumkit

 

[Muklas]

Ride to Hell: Retribution if you're a masochist fascinated with bad games.

 

[Bonkers225]

Any fighting game you can just button mash(Capcom 2-D games)

 

[qw90700]

Rock Band

If the topic was about "the games to destroy the whole video game console" I would say Rock Band Unplugged for sure. Playing it on PSP by controlling the whole band is like fire + oil lolol.

 

[Retro Doomer]

Track and Field
.....With low self control maybe Dark Souls series.

 

[Artsif]

FF16 lol

 

[Advil Lavs]

Mario Party 1, no wait, that destroyed your hands

 

[Bakuma1997]

Alone in the Dark PS2, if you didn't break them out of pure frustration by the confusing svheme, some of the antics the game tasks you can get real work of your poor joypad

 

[ThunderBoy]

Any Track & Field

 

[Burzuru]

Anyone is a legend whose combo was broken just because their gamepad was broken due to the combo lolol.
