For all the good and all the bad, Nintendo sure does make a lot of strange moves. But over the last few generations of gaming, Nintendo has redefined how we play and control games with each major product release. Sometimes this works out to staggering success, like the Wii, and sometimes, well, it doesn’t, like the Wii U. No matter the outcome, Nintendo is always thinking ahead. This forward thinking is what has earned Nintendo its reputation, though what is brilliance to some is fixing what ain’t broke to others.
Today, we’re here to ask why: Why does Nintendo build such weird controls? Is it innovation or simply misplaced fascination with a fad, or is it somewhere inbetween? Nintendo’s design decisions are more in line with one another than you might think, and what they do they usually do for good reason. From the Wii to the 3DS to the Labo, Nintendo’s takes on what a controller can be are founded on evidence. And when we consider Nintendo’s past, as well as other major console-makers, we can start to make predictions about the future.
