Wii Rumble Dead?

[A Black Falcon]

The cross-designed D-Pad is certainly a design improvement, but it is neither an innovation, nor does it make the Intellivision a failure. The machine never beat the world, but it lasted eleven years, longer than the SNES, N64, and GameCube.

Eleven years only if you count the years after 1983 or 1984, which are debatable... there should be a line drawn between when a console was actually competitive and when support for it ended -- like how the Super Famicom had releases until 1999 in Japan, but wasn't exactly one of the top systems after 1996 or so...

As for the disc, the d-pad was an innovation compared to it, but it also was clearly another version of the same idea -- trying to come up with a good flat replacement for the Atari 2600-style joystick, and Intellivision was first, which is why I said that and not Donkey Kong Game & Watch.

I guess that's true if you're a retard. I, on the other hand, was handing the Intellivision controller like a master before I could even read. So much for that argument.

I've never used an Intellivision, and do know someone who loved the system, but its controller must have its bad reputation for a reason...
