He developed the one for the N64, which, as far as I know, is the first modern analogue stick. Or am I just making things up here? I mean... the technology behind it is quite different from the technology behind, for example, the arcade and Atari sticks that came before |
The technology behind the N64 stick and modern analog sticks is also quite different, enough that many people call the N64 stick digital. Regardless, true analog sticks had already been done, even if they were on less popular machines. Even the thumbstick had been done. The N64 made the thumbstick a popular control option, certainly, but that's not the same as inventing it. The article is wrong no matter how you slice it.
