Discussion GO

Despite slightly being offtopic, PS1 and PS2 pads look kinda similar to SNES pads.
Hence why Sony proceeded to produce boomerangs

All of them keep copying each other after all.

And long before the DC arrived, there was also a collection of ideas for Nintendos "Project X" on a british mag, where they had some nearly wiimote ideas and pics...
So probably Sega stole it from them!?
But like HCR said, it's always the same: better to steal a good idea, than inventing a new bad one!

Nintendo invented motion sensing, Powerglove FTW!

did you guys see the 'beta' dc controller, looking like saturn's? wish i could hold one of those on my hands

Nintendo pretty much "invented" all the success stuff of consoles. Anyone remembers the PS1 gamepad layout, including button position and lateral buttons ?

pics plz

I'm pretty sure it's because initially Sony was going to make a CD-ROM add on to the SNES but Sony wanted to own the rights to the games because the games were going to be on their discs. So Nintendo didn't want to give rights of their valuable IPs to another company so they secretly started to team up with Phillips behind Sony's back (the co-creator of the CD, IIRC). Sony was pissed off and decided to not to be partners with Nintendo and make their own system instead. I assume that's why the layout of the PS controller resembles the controllers of Nintendo systems since it was the original idea that Sony had in mind when they were planning with Nintendo before the breakup. I could be wrong though.

WTH? Regardless of previous "collaboration", they blatantly COPIED SNES's gamepads. Copypasting ideas they didnt own or come up with isn't really excusable here by such a reference to the shortlived attempt to come up with a CD-enabled, improved SNES console

If we would be on NGEmu the Sony fanboys would bash you down HCR!

Sega made something like it for DC. Nintendo had something for it on the SNES, bundled with a baseball game.

It's funny, I dunno what game could have a good use of that controller prototype. Virtua Tennis maybe?

Fishing for sure.

Sega bass fishing right?

do you have soccer games for your wii em? i heard it is quite funny since you use the wiimote to kick the ball

My friend has Fifa 08, I didnt really like it, though its not that bad, its just a flick on your wrist other than a button, its a much simpler game. I prefer PES over Fifa so just wait for that to come out.
