Nintendo has done nothing for gaming

Name: Anonymous 2007-02-16 20:23

Everything they have done were just stolen from other companies and games

D-pad - Sega
revolutionized the platformer genre - Sony
Shoulder buttons - Microsoft
Analog - Sony
lock on system in Zelda - Microsoft did this first in the flight simulators
Rumble - Atari
Wireless - Sega Dreamcast had wireless controllers, and they made a wifi compatible thingy and its not broken like nintendos
Motion controls - PS3 controller patented first = they first

"D-pad - Sega"
Famicom: 1983, Master System: 1985

"revolutionized the platformer genre - Sony"
Subjective at best, but I think a lot more people remember Mario 64 than some Banjo Kazooie shit.

"Shoulder buttons - Microsoft"
SNES: 1991, XBox: 2001

"Analog - Sony"
Nintendo 64 stock controller: 1996, Sony DualShock controller: 1997

"Wireless - Sega Dreamcast had wireless controllers, and they made a wifi compatible thingy and its not broken like nintendos"
Sorry, what? Wireless controllers have been around since the SNES at the very least - released by third parties, so neither Nintendo nor Sega gets credit for this innovation. Furthermore, please sauce your claim that Sega released a wireless controller for the DC. All I ever saw were third party wireless controllers.

Filed: May 7, 2006. After the functionality of the Wiimote was revealed. Furthermore, the Sixaxis does not have all the functionality of the Wiimote: The Sixaxis strictly relies on accelerometers, whereas the Wiimote uses accelerometers and the sensor bar, allowing it to more easily and more accurately be used as a pointing device.

TL;DR: GTFO Fanboy idiot
