The Atari 5200 had a joystick which was the standard of the time, and they were on their way out the door thanks to the NES D-Pad. The N64 analog stick was a very different thing, and it is what changed the industry in the 1990s.
Nintendo also brought saving games to console gaming, I do believe Legend of Zelda was the first game to do it.
The Gameboy established the handheld gaming console market. While portable gaming devices existed before, including Nintendo's own Game and Watch series from a decade earlier, the Gameboy model was the first true model for the portable gaming console category as we know it today.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
