Since when has any new console (Before the Wii U) ever let you use your old console controllers on them without some form of modding or adapter?

Yeah, that's what I thought. People love to complain about things they've never had, yet somehow expect?


PS1 controllers compatible with PS2


This. The only reason an adapter was needed to use ps2 pads on ps3 was the switch to wireless.

PS2 added thumbsticks. PS1 did not have those. Why would you ever want to use PS1 controller on PS2?

Gamecube controllers on Wii was one I had missed though. Looks like mostly a recent development still, and mostly a Nintendo thing.

Any other legacy consoles I just simply am too young to know/care about haha.... NES/Sega Genesis are my first consoles. If there were others back then at the same time, I'm afraid I don't know of them.

Did they add them mid-generation or something? This is what I always remembered...

We should stop posting this SuperDae shit. honestly, do we believe anything he has to say ever?


Someone who tries to sell your Dev kit on eBay, you don't keep them in the loop or even remotely near the 720. Microsoft don't have 50 billion in cash reserves from being retarded.

I heard the new controller will just be an empty shell with painted on buttons and Kinect is going to watch your fingers to check what buttons you press...

you heard it here first people!



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’
