Please read the Wikipedia article we have both quoted from: the Nintendo D-pad was perfected in Game and Watch games, which were released in 1982, well before the Amiga systems. Rolstoppable is referring to the button layout, not the D-pad. His point is distinct.
I was pointing out that Amiga users unlike Snes users had a choice between sticks and gamepads with a D-Pad. User preferred arcade like sticks. Currently sticks are back on all major consoles, analog like for instance the Vectrex I pointed to earlier had.
