Sony invented the ergonomic wings. They get credit for the innovation.
Sony invented the second row of shoulder buttons, they get credit for that.]]>Jun 5th 2009 4:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/another-look-at-nintendos-kuro-wii-jet-black-classic-controlle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/another-look-at-nintendos-kuro-wii-jet-black-classic-controlle/Jun 6th 2009 4:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/another-look-at-nintendos-kuro-wii-jet-black-classic-controlle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/another-look-at-nintendos-kuro-wii-jet-black-classic-controlle/Jun 7th 2009 10:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/another-look-at-nintendos-kuro-wii-jet-black-classic-controlle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/another-look-at-nintendos-kuro-wii-jet-black-classic-controlle/
No, they didn't.

1) Analog thumbsticks existed on the Vectrex, which is 10 years older than the N64
2) PS1 had an analog controller, which uses the exact same potentiometer based analog stick technology dual shock does, AND a thumbstick, which not only came out before the N64, but was announced BEFORE the N64 was. I own one.]]>Aug 2nd 2009 4:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/another-look-at-nintendos-kuro-wii-jet-black-classic-controlle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/another-look-at-nintendos-kuro-wii-jet-black-classic-controlle/Jun 5th 2009 10:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/another-look-at-nintendos-kuro-wii-jet-black-classic-controlle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/another-look-at-nintendos-kuro-wii-jet-black-classic-controlle/Jun 5th 2009 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/another-look-at-nintendos-kuro-wii-jet-black-classic-controlle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/another-look-at-nintendos-kuro-wii-jet-black-classic-controlle/Jun 5th 2009 10:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/another-look-at-nintendos-kuro-wii-jet-black-classic-controlle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/another-look-at-nintendos-kuro-wii-jet-black-classic-controlle/
That almost certainly why they do it. Wii sales had sagged in Japan recently so they release a new color. They do the same thing with the DS all the time. I'm sure it makes perfect business sense and Nintendo's bank account confirms they know how to rake in the cash, but for someone like me that just wanted black from the start and has no intention of giving Nintendo more cash for a platform that has been fairly disappointing (for me) already, this just adds to the disappointment.]]>Jun 5th 2009 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/another-look-at-nintendos-kuro-wii-jet-black-classic-controlle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/another-look-at-nintendos-kuro-wii-jet-black-classic-controlle/Jun 5th 2009 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/another-look-at-nintendos-kuro-wii-jet-black-classic-controlle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/another-look-at-nintendos-kuro-wii-jet-black-classic-controlle/Jun 5th 2009 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/another-look-at-nintendos-kuro-wii-jet-black-classic-controlle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/another-look-at-nintendos-kuro-wii-jet-black-classic-controlle/
1) Mouse and keyboard
2) Natal
3) Wiimote
4) Any other controller]]>Jun 5th 2009 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/another-look-at-nintendos-kuro-wii-jet-black-classic-controlle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/another-look-at-nintendos-kuro-wii-jet-black-classic-controlle/
It'll blow ass when you break your arm or leg and can't play your favorite fighting game...]]>Jun 5th 2009 10:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/another-look-at-nintendos-kuro-wii-jet-black-classic-controlle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/another-look-at-nintendos-kuro-wii-jet-black-classic-controlle/
Also, you can't really compare a mouse and keyboard to a controller. They're entirely different beasts. The mouse and keyboard are perferrable for FPS and RTS, and games like MMOS where there are dozens of spells, while the controller excels at pretty much everything else.]]>Jun 5th 2009 10:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/another-look-at-nintendos-kuro-wii-jet-black-classic-controlle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/another-look-at-nintendos-kuro-wii-jet-black-classic-controlle/Jun 5th 2009 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/another-look-at-nintendos-kuro-wii-jet-black-classic-controlle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/another-look-at-nintendos-kuro-wii-jet-black-classic-controlle/
Heck, all my friends play Super Smash Bros. on the N64. And guess what?
