Jumpin said: Another thing about Gamecube is that it is the only Nintendo console that didn't innovate the interface: NES - added d-pad Each of the above consoles have been advancing controller interface in some way. Gamecube just ripped off the PS2 controller and made it look and feel like a toy. It also came along with awkwardly positioned face buttons, springly and noisy trigger buttons, and the most unusable d-pad ever made. The controller with its tiny d-pad, giant trigger buttons, and big green button just screamed Made For Kids! I suppose it matched the design of the console itself, which was cube shaped and came with a handle so that children could carry it around like a lunchbox. |
If you're going to credit the N64 for the analog stick, then it's worth mentioning that the Gamecube did introduce dual-function triggers, granted, the overall design of the Gamecube controller reeked of patent-workarounds, but nonetheless...
