I like it how you edit slowslow325 post to better fit your needs. As far as I know that Atari motion controller wasn't packed with the system ready to go like slowslow325 stated.
Same with the wireless controlers which is quite debatable who did it best first.

Nintendo firsts as far as I know:
Shoulder buttons
Dual screens
D-pad

grr. CDs are so fragile.

They certainly are. I've heard Blu rays are tougher though, because they're made with a scratch-resistant film on the outside of the disc. Too bad that trend started so late.

D-pad

Depends on how you define the D-pad. If you mean it as a cross, then yes. If you just mean it as a flat pad you push down as opposed to using a stick, then at the very least the Intellivision beats the Game and Watch by about a year and it registered 16 directions instead of just 8.

Failed Atari console beats SNES.

The difference is, just in case you haven't heard, IT'S 3D WITHOUT GLASSES!

Yes a gimmick, Nintendo needs more of those.

Looks more like side buttons to me, besides the intellivision had side button before the 5200.

WTF are you talking about? I cut out the part of the post where he mentioned how other companies will copy Nintendo and then the repetitive sentence "Nintendo really does do original stuff with most of their systems, then other companies just copy." He never stated anything was "packed with a system."

I guess he did state "out of the box" for analog thumbsticks and motion controls, but I took his post to suggest that Nintendo pioneered and first sold all those technologies, not that they packaged them with the system. In any case, he's wrong on that claim as well, as I'd consider the Standard Vectrex controller to be a thumbstick, and it is certainly analog: http://www.old-computers.com/MUSEUM/pho ... roller.jpg. That's in addition to the earlier VC 4000, which had an analog stick and 2 primary buttons back in 1978.

Furthermore, the N64 analog controller beat the Saturn one to market by about two weeks (and the Sony Dual Analog by about 3 months). In any case, I don't think these companies were copying Nintendo, which was his point.

As to packed in motion controls, yes, he's right as far as I know - the Wii was the first to do this "out of the box." But going back to Le Stick for the 2600/c64 (and perhaps earlier), there have been professionally designed and sold motion controls.

"out of the box" and "Good RF" are the parts I was speaking of. My point was you made him sound even dumber then he already sounded by leaving those parts out of the quotes. I was trying to save him some face By the way I don't consider the Virtual Boy the first 3D screen without glasses because using it is like wearing glasses

An interesting point I would like to say on a related note, just becasue some company released a product first doesn't mean all similiar products were "copying" them. Who would look at a failed system and try to copy them on purpose? Most of the game companies that actually did something first were failures. People generally only "copy" what is popular and succeded.

This is not the "Post images of other consoles thread"

I would really like if nintendo made their own fc twin.

Why would they do that if they have Virtual Console?
