They did a great work ripping off Nintendo's ideas on how to make their controllers :) I have to give them that credit!


...and Nintendo did a great job "ripping off" PlayStation's ideas on how to make motion controlled games.

Inspiration goes both (all) ways. Move on with your life.

                         

                  

                    

                   

                

               

             

              

            

 

etc....

Dude.  Like 90% of the games you named weren't even made by Nintendo!!  And you make it seem as if there was no such thing as a Power Pad (made by Bandai) for the Nes!  It had a lot of those genres covered before the Playstation 1 was even an idea.  Plus different implementations of similar ideas.  Compare how you play and Eye Toy game to how you play a Wii Remote game.  Quite different.

A lot of things were made for the Nes that people don't remember.  There was and excercise bike called the Life Cycle, there was R.O.B. the robot pimp, there was a controller for people that couldn't use their hands (it used sucking and blowing as inputs), there was the Miracle Keyboard that taught people how to play piano.  There was the Turbo Touch 360 controller with a touch sensor instead of a D-Pad.  Even something called a U Force that could sense motions.

This is all from memory.  And, as I stated, almost none of these were made by Nintendo but made for Nintendo.
