I watched a video from 7thlevel, I don't know if you know about him or not, but he said that the Atari 5200 was the first console to have Analog Sticks. Super Mario Bros. was not the first Side-Scrolling Platformer, Pac-Land was in 1984 on the arcades. I watched a video from morefredmoore2 and he said that Shigeru Miyamoto got the inspiration for the Mario side scroller game from Pac-Land. Some of the things you forgot to list were that Nintendo was the first to have a Start and Select button on the NES. Nintendo also had the first trigger button (the Z button) on the N64. I don't want to argue, but as a Nintendo fan of over 20 years, I know that Nintendo did not make some of those innovations that you listed. Whatever you do, DON'T list stuff from a gaming magazine or a website. The people who write the stuff are mostly fanboys/fangirls and they usually spread lies. The best place to look at the innovations made by these companies is Wikipedia. |
This Is different from this

It is different, but Atari did implement the analog stick before Nintendo, according to 7th. Nintendo perfected it with the N64. I read on Wikipedia that the Atari 5200 used a weak rubber boot for the analog stick. which was very unreliable and was the weak point of the Atari 5200. Nintendo used optical encoding disks, which were obviously better, since that made the stick movement very smooth.
