True, but for what it was at the time, it was awesome.

The "duke" is still my favorite controller, because it remains the only one large enough that my hands don't cramp after an hour or two of playing.

Nobody who owned the original Mario Party games has love for the N64 controller.

I loved it... blisters and all.

Wrong! The DC controller was great.

Also, we need more Live in Rock Band.

The Saturn controller was the best analog pad ever (better than the 6-button Genesis controller). Either Saturn controller was awesome.

I like the Xbox controller plenty, but it has some flaws. The giant Xbox button is too easy to hit if your finger slips from the analog stick. The d-pad is terrible, terrible, terrible - especially for fighting games and such that need it.

I also find it isn't as durable as older controllers. My first controller analog started "sticking" once in a while - you could let go of the stick and it would keep moving anyway. I have one with the ridges on the analog stick face are worn completely off and the right shoulder button is no longer 100% dependable to register. Etc.

The Gamecube controller had a great design idea - very ergonomic button setup, comfy to hold, easy to identify buttons in the dark/by feel, easy to perform A button + another button with the thumb, etc. I would say it was the closest to perfect, but they needed to cram a couple of extra buttons on there.

Name calling concerning the preference of a video game controller. Fantastic.

Fandango can you post some more pictures please!

Possibly being released early 2012?

That's actually a brilliant idea for many reasons. 1) It gets the jump on MS and Sony at E3 2012. 2) Any hardware shortages would be worked out by the holiday season.

They release the DS models early in the year and this would cause a more steady revenue cycle than going 18 months with nothing shiny and new out there.

Not so fast. The author took "to-be-announced" platform to mean an upcoming platform not announced yet. But, I think most of us would assume it could be some other existing platform, for which they haven't announced a version of ZF2. For instance, you would think it will be released on one of the other consoles.

Perhaps this means it's only coming to either 360 or PS3, whichever sold more copies of the original (probably 360).

When I first read it, I tried to read it the way you say "most of us would". I can't. The only way I can is if they know for sure they can't even mention the new Nintendo is coming, but Nintendo has already confirmed it. No harm there.

Sure, it could be they're keeping "ZF2 for Kinect" a secret, but, why...?

Nintendo marches on without a unified online service. Reggie wants to give PS2 a serious challenger in online gaming.

*WiiU 56k modem sold separately.

Wow.

In other words, we couldn't be bothered to do the work ourselves, so we're farming it out to everyone else!

Sigh, they've always gotta F something up. Oh well, as long as they bust out some new Mario and Zelda it'll be a nice second system...

Considering the shit Sony just went through this might not be a bad idea. Now if people's accounts gets hacked Nintendo can say "not our fault".

What the hell is wrong with Nintendo?

They know how to make money without spending much.

Best controller ever

Nintendo's efforts to ward off the final vestiges of their hardcore fans may be working.

What is this I don't even

...Ruby Rhod is oddly fitting to Nintendo.

as someone who absolutely loves that movie, that's awesome.
