What you people are talking about the NES? Didn't you see how the NES controller was ripped from G&W?

I think there should be few links more. Mainly for 2-handed 3D-controllers from the Virtual Boy controller. It definately has inspired the dual analog controllers.

And the Jaguar controller... I'm glad i've never held one in my hand. I still remember seeing the controller when Jaguar came out and how repulsive it was.

Man, I couldn't have said it any better. ugh.

OT: Nice find. can't say I've seen it before though....

 



Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it

The SNES controller was so awesome...

It's very interesting to see all the different controllers and how they evolved even if I don't know half of them.




Nintendo still doomed?
Feel free to add me on 3DS or Switch! (PM me if you do ^-^)

SNES had the most influence on controllers now. =P



Pixel Art can be fun.

I still pull out my SNES to play Zelda and SMW with the SNES pad. If I could get my hands on a classic controller for the wii in the shape of the SNES pad I would really love that.



Currently dreaming of: DKC4 or Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (classic 2D platformers) for WiiWare, Smash Bros. for DSi, New Super Mario World for DSi, a Wii remake or true sequel of Final Fantasy Tactics.

One down, hopefully more awesomeness to come.

There needs to be a link from N64 to the Wii nunchuck. Other than that nice job.

I think seeing that just made me realise one of Sony's most stupid decisions, and yet I've known this all this time...

Why the HELL did they get rid of the concaved analog sticks?! If they just rubberised them for the Dual Shock and kept them the way they were they'd be soooo much better.

Concave > Convex.
