Please say we're not going to go that petty. Controller Defintion - "a remote piece of hardware used to direct or control an electronic device" It is a wireless controller, a Joystick was the primary input for the Atari 2600. Nintendo did not bring the innovation of Wireless Controllers to games.
Regardless Reggie's points were not a good case in my opinion. He talks about innovating for the good of the industry, and one of his points is even PARENTAL CONTROLS. He doesn't make an argument that Nintendo is better off as a hardware manufacturer, his argument is solely about pride, what they enjoy doing and "the good of the industry." |
To be fair he did say invented OR made mainstream. While NES/SNES had wireless controllers licensed by Nintendo and CDi had wireless controllers. Was not until Wavebird that Logitech and others started making wireless controllers for PS2/Xbox and soon everyone followed. Also remember N64 introduced 4 person multiplayer without needing a seperate device.
Oh and as a bonus fact. Every single Nintendo console has been online and capable of DLC. Yes all the way back to Famicom,SNES,N64 and forward were online and had DLC.
