I disagree. Besides the Wii, there was no blueprint for this "normal contorller" you speak of. Do you refer to like the PS controllers as the norm???

I think they've had decent controllers before the Wii. The Wii and after have been terrible design and for casual gaming in my opinion.

the wii has an amazing design, not for hardcore gamers but we are not the center of the universe. Motion controls?? that was a revolution back in 2006. was gimmicky yeah, but you can play with it.

I agree that the Wii was a huge phenomenon but imo it was more of an evolution than revolution.

The Wii and the "Wii" series of games that went to sell over 200 mill combined are one of Nintendo's biggest successes ever but at the same time a product of Nintendo being inspired by the PlayStation Eyetoy tech and series of games.

EyeToy Play Sports (motion controlled boxing, tennis, etc) -> Wii Sports (motion controlled boxing, tennis, etc)

                         

EyeToy Play (motion controlled minigames) -> Wii Play (motion controlled minigames)

                  

EyeToy Kinetic (motion controlled exercise game) -> Wii Fit (motion controlled exercise game)

                    

EyeToy Monkey Mania (motion controlled party games) -> Wii Party (motion controlled party games)

                   

EyeToy Groove (motion controlled rythm game) -> We Dance (motion controlled rythm game)

                

 

OT: I prefer when Nintendo innovates through software rather than hardware. My Wii U Pro Controller is my favorite Nintendo controller and if that's what you label as a "normal" controller, I want Nintendo to go "normal" (hardware wise) more often :)
