Kind of interesting....

What I noticed was Nintendo seems to come up with most of the design changes that stick..

they went to the d-pad on the left buttons on the right design first - NES
Then they added the L1 and R1 buttons - SNES
Then added the d-pad and Joystick combo - N64


Now lets hope the Wii Mote design doesn't take over.

i agree seems the snes controller is pretty much the basis for the Xbox and PlayStation.... i really hated the butoon layout of the sega and don't like the gamecube either

whoever made this has far too much time on their hands. Pretty cool though.

The only thing I didnt like about the SNES controller was how it felt in your hand. Like, it was too thin and was easy to snap it felt like. I think Sony switched it up with the controller that fit in your hand perfectly. PS1 i think. Nintendo followed suit too with N64, although i dont recall which came out first, so they both coulda came up with it =P
