Do you have proof, because the 3DS is still curbstomping the Vita in sales, as it has for many years now.

And in 10 years you will rebuy one and tell everyone how it was the “most unapreacated console of all time. Probably Nintendos best.”

Well it’s nice he can be so honest.

An adventure game with investigative mechanics, a la Heavy Rain or The Wolf Among Us or those bits in Arkham games, wherein you play as Tales investigating the grisly murder of Sonic The Hedgehog.

You do know the Wii U has way more exclusive games than that right? Including some indie games not just Nintendo games? I have over 20 physical and over 20 digital games on my Wii U and I’m still have more games I want for it physically and digitally, people think the Wii U has an awful library of games which is what…

We all k ow that shovel ware started on the Atari 2600.

I don’t think you understand the meaning of the word “innovation”. It doesn’t mean “inventing something brand new that no one else has ever come up with in any other form.” This is just from wikipedia, so feel free to get off your ass and google the word if you don’t trust wikipedia:

The Vectrex indeed had an analogue stick, but it was touchy as f—-, and made racing games especially difficult. They also broke very easily.

The D-pad as we know it is absolutely a Nintendo creation. Nintendo even owns (or at least owned) the patent on the design, which they created in like 1982. Why do you think Playstation and Xbox have always used different designs for their D-pads? Nintendo didn’t invent the analog stick, but the N64 was the first…

Very well said.

Your loss. If you liked Twilight Princess for it’s Gothic sensibilities you would gobble up Dark Souls, but oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Like I said... I sure am glad I didn’t include analogue thumbsticks on the list. Especially considering the 64 controller in fact had a digital thumbstick, and Nintendo wouldn’t incorporate a true analogue stick until the Gamecube.

I honestly don’t know what to make of the XE-1AP! I had found some references to the…

You already have Dark Souls.

Except they totally deserve the credit for each and all of those things, even if they didn’t invent them properly. You said it yourself: they were the ones who standardized it, who made them integral to gaming today, not their various competitors who invented them only to leave them as prototypes.

The Intellivision’s directional disc is not a modern d-pad. The Atari 5200 didn’t have shoulder buttons, although it did have a button on the side of it. The Microsoft Sidewinder gamepad didn’t introduce force feedback until August 1997, after the release of the N64's Rumble Pak.

I can't find enough about the…

Thanks for typing this up, because I wasn’t in the mood for doing it myself.

The first d-pad was on the Game and Watch. The first shoulder buttons were on the SNES. The first rumble was on the N64 using the Rumble Pak attachment. The N64 also had the first thumbstick, though it didn’t have the first analogue stick, as the N64 thumbstick was digital. I didn’t include it in the list for that…

People wanted that before TP and when they got it their reaction was mostly lukewarm.

Yeah, the dumb gimmicks like Wii motion control. And that stupid rumble gimmick from the N64. That dumb “shoulder buttons” thing that they tacked onto the SNES. The really gimmicky d-pad that they put on the NES controller.

Face it, only time can really suss out the difference between what’s a revolutionary update to a…

There's a difference in having it and it being done the right way and in a way that people will actually want to use. Your android phone is a piece of shit
