"I can't wait to see their next brilliant logo design!"

ಠ_ಠ

[–] frezik@midwest.social 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just wait until you see the sequel to this one.

But the "ii" part bows to you! Its revolutionary!

[–] dis_honestfamiliar@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh I thought that was like "we" cuz you play alone most of the time.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Random Nintendo execs show up to your house unannounced.

"We would like to play"

You stare at them blankly for a beat then shut the door in their faces. This is your time away from the world and its demands. No one will take that away from you.

That whole era had really shitty design. “Sleek this, minimalist that. Only black/white/greys allowed”. Got old real fast.

Now I'm holding Z. Can you hear the difference?

[–] magic_lobster_party@kbin.run 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Now I’m holding Z on all 4 controllers.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

I only recently learned about this one!

I don't remember anyone passing this trick around back in the day. Maybe because most people didn't have 4 controllers?

I still contend that the GameCube controller is the best designed controller on the market in terms of comfort and usability.

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Generally, but it has some issues. I found the C-stick to be very uncomfortable with the lack of a cap, and you can't really press two face buttons at the same time unless one of them is A. The latter isn't usually a problem, but certain games, like the Arkham series, would be virtually unplayable. That there's only one shoulder button on one side is also pretty weird. The dual stage triggers are pretty neat, though, and the only other controller I've used with them is the Steam Controller, which has a pretty steep learning curve.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, figuring how to roll my fingers among the face buttons to do fancy stuff in Metroid Prime was tricky. I also like to use my thumbs to reach across the controller to the dpad and c stick on the opposite side so that I can change visors while on the move, for example.

Using different sizes and shapes for the buttons based on frequency of use (and to help new gamers not have to look down) was a really smart idea.

This one or the N64 logo (with its 64 faces) is the greatest real logo

[–] CptEnder@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Didn't realize it had 64 faces that's cool af

Wait til they hear about the arrow in the FedEx logo

[–] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Kinda related -

The logo of Annecy, capital of Haute Savoie -

Why it's so clever - the flag of Haute Savoie -

Edit, forgot to add, the Swiss flag has red gaps at the ends of the white cross, in case you were wondering

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Also good to know that haute Savoie is the most Swiss part of France so the similarities are no coincidence (I assume).

It still bothers me that the cube inside the cube is bigger than the outer line, despite forming the outer line during the intro animation. It will never stop bothering me.

[–] magic_smoke@links.hackliberty.org 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It retracted due to surface tension.

It's too derivative of the N64 logo if you ask me. Jk, they're both pretty good.

[–] MagnyusG@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

The N64 logo was equally as creative maybe even more, with its 64 faces and 64 vertices.

[–] MaxPow3r11@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Not to mention all the memes it spawned.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nintendo take down of this post in 3...

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There are a couple of men in monogramed red and green hats at my front door. Should I open it?

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just tell them you're in another castle
