— Nintendo Enthusiast:
A recent Switch update surprisingly added compatibility for the Gamecube Controller adapter. Why is this 15-year old controller so popular?
Cole Young almost made the jump from movie newcomer to game canon in Mortal Kombat 1, but a last-minute time crunch shut it down.
A rare first-party Nintendo games sale has just gone live on Amazon with around a dozen of the company's titles discounted.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
This controller is 16 years old now, not 15 years old.
"It’s been debated many times that Microsoft was inspired by the GC controller design for the Xbox controller, which evolved into the 360 controllers and now the Xbox One controller."
I really don't see how anybody can seriously support such a ludicrous idea. The Xbox controller was clearly inspired by the Dreamcast's controller, especially when you considered that Microsoft worked with Sega on that console.

I really don't see how anybody can seriously support such a ludicrous idea try to give Nintendo that unwarranted credit. The Xbox controller was clearly inspired by the Dreamcast's controller, especially when you considered that Microsoft worked with Sega on that console.
Xbox's own co-creator, Seamus Blackley, stated the Xbox controller's design was influenced by Sega which is clearly evident in its prototype's designs.

The GameCube's prototype controller was first shown off at Spaceworld 2000, a time a which Xbox had already been in development. In fact the GameCube controller was shown off at August of 2000 while the Xbox controller was shown off at March of 2000, which further discredits your comment.
If anything the Xbox 360 was influenced by Sony's brand of controllers. It features dual concave analog sticks taken from PS1's Dual Analog Controller, new bumper buttons replacing the black and white buttons taken from the L1 & R1 buttons on the DualShock, and a home button taken from the PSP.
The only time the Xbox controller took something directly from a Nintendo controller was when the cross shaped D-Pad was put onto the Xbox One controller after Nintendo's patent on that design expired.
Simple; it's not
So nintendo going to resell all of their old tech again? Inspired by Sony's move stick?
Gamecube is my favourite controller of all time. So comfortable, fits like a glove.
