Title: Nintendo's Gamepads: Episode 1
Post by: John Rairdin on October 14, 2014, 07:50:17 PM

In this new series, John takes a look at the incredibly varied history of Nintendo's controllers.

We've all heard it. "Why doesn't Nintendo go back to making regular systems?" People look at the Wii and the Wii U and wonder what happened to the Nintendo they grew up with. But what if I told you Nintendo had always been that way?

In the first episode of Nintendo's Gamepads we look at some of Nintendo's earliest controllers, but perhaps not the ones you're thinking of.

As Nintendo World Report is moving more and more into the Video space.  Can we look into doing proper Closed Captioning?

While I enjoy the Engrish at times that is the Youtube Speech to text engine its not professional.  If Youtube is the direction of NWR then there should be closed captioning.

Excellent! Even that awkward silence blooper that ends the intro.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that appreciates this aspect of Nintendo. This should be required watching for every dum-dum that believes Nintendo should pull a SEGA.
