The people at Ninty have put something new into the GameCube! And guess what! It's to stop kids damaging the GameCube discs!
On the Playstation and Dreamcast, to take the disc out, you have to pull it. But on the GameCube they have added a special 'ejecter' button that lifts the disc up so it doesn't break. Hah! Who would be that clumsy?

The Saturn stick was only a joystick, it wasn't analog Logan, Nintendo where the first home console makers to use an analog stick.
Anyway, the bottom line is, it does'nt matter who made them first (although Nintendo DID create most things) but it's which company has the best, and i reckon that the rumble pak and the 3d stick for the N64 are a whole lot better than the crappy JOYSTICK for the saturn, and the saddest excuse for a pad that iv'e ever used, the dual shock!
And how can you say that Nintendo copied other companies? simply not true! Nintendo are always first with innoative new ideas, and the 3d stick and the rumble pak WERE two of them! sure, Sega may have released the Saturn slightly before the N64, but the N64 spent more time under development, and the fact is that Nintendo allready had these ideas working long before the Saturn was released!
And may i add that the Saturn FAILED miserably, partly due to it's naff controller, and it's cack games, and as a result the saturn only went on for 2-3 years! And the N64 is still hanging in there after 5 years! sure, other companies can nick Nintendo's ideas, but none of them can actually make them work as well or continue for as long as Nintendo!
Anyway the point is that Nintendo always have been, still are and always will be first with innoative, new and revelutionary ideas, and every other games company in the world will try to either copy them or invent an eqivelant, but they will never be able to be as successfull as Nintendo because Nintendo always have been, still are and always will be the best games company in the world! and thats not just a view shared my me and millions of others like me, it's a fact!

clearly u have never seen the saturn 3d nugget... the N64 analogue IS just like a minature joystick... the Saturn one is EXACTLY like the N64 one, but doesn't stick up like a joystick!
Oh, and plenty of arcades have used rumble.. BUT Sega are the biggest arcade games makers in the world, so they came to mind first

you get a pair in ya hands hehe, sorry ladies (if any)
What have you got in each of your hands?
:0)

You have to admit though the dual shock is the best out of the bunch of rumble's, I dunno about the GC or xbox but the dual shock 2 is just a more accurate version of the first one and it brilliant having one in each hand.
Not having a dig at Sony
> here but look, who invented rumble packs? Nintendo.
NOT SO! Sega had them implented in many arcade machines well before Ninty... but Ninty did bring them home first!
Who invented the 3d stick? Nintendo.
NO! The Saturn 3d pad was released over a year before the 64, and became the standard pad. It has an Analogue nugget stick thing, which is far better than Ninty's stick, and is more easy to use precisely
errrrrr... not having a go at ninty or anything. You see no one "invented" these things. In fact, the first rumble packs cost thousands to develop, and were used as a feedback for people using robots to move chemicals. This was the first rumble pack in a controller.
And the analogue pad... barely a first by ninty- Sega's 3d Saturn pad (came with Nights, became the standard, just like the dual shock became the PS1 standard), had an analogue stick that was far more easy to control (for me at least).
You see, no one "invents" these things... the ideas have been there for ages!
