Seems like a lot of Nintendo stroking, they didn't mention some of the earlier consoles that had a self-centering analog stick before the N64.

Interesting...I actually never heard of that until just now. Anyways, I kind of noticed that Nintendo seems to drop things at just the right time. While the NES is technically a third generation video game console, it kind of started everything that is right now kicking gaming into the mainstream (even if not totally), and they just so happened to create a new standard for controllers. The N64 added the control stick at the perfect time (3D), and now that technology is getting better, Nintendo was able to make the Wiimote. Each of these advancements seem to have come *at the right time. Maybe it's just luck, but I I find Nintendo's accomplishments very interesting.

My issue is that Nintendo gets credit for things that were done before them. The only idea that was Nintendo's own was the D-pad. Also, it's nice that they mentioned the dual analog layout for Sony, and the trigger buttons to the Dreamcast, but they ignored the pressure sensitive set up of the original Dualshock controller and seemed to give it to the Dreamcasts triggers. It is an interesting article, but they don't seem keen on giving credit where credit is due.

*coughSaturncough* commercial Never been a game like Sega Saturn NiGHTS. Never been a game that's allowed you to fly, fluid in free, in real-time 3D. Nowhere, not anywhere, especially not on that other system. Simply because, with only one processor, it doesn't have the power. Fly, plaything, fly. You're not ready. guy at Sega You think anyone noticed that the flying was on-rails?
Man. We're screwed.
