“I can’t wait to see their next brilliant logo design!”
ಠ_ಠ
Just wait until you see the sequel to this one.

But the “ii” part bows to you! Its revolutionary!
Oh I thought that was like “we” cuz you play alone most of the time.
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.
My brain just did some work. Now I can’t unseen this as that manly handshake scene from Predator. The two 'i’s are the guys, and the ‘W’ is a zoom-in of their handshake.
I can hear this picture
Now I’m holding Z. Can you hear the difference?
Now I’m holding Z on all 4 controllers.
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?
was there a difference?
Yeah, you could hold the Z button at startup and it would make squeaking sounds instead of the normal thing.
i have never seen that before, til!

I have the GB color, gamecube and og xbox intros set as boot intros on my steamdeck. Always a neat thing to look at.
I still contend that the GameCube controller is the best designed controller on the market in terms of comfort and usability.
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.
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.
Yeah, it shows just how good of a game Metroid Prime was because it was still amazing despite very awkward controls.
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.
Steam Controller was peak, don’t @ me
The haptics are great on it. But the pads aren’t good replacements for sticks.
Depends on the game. I couldnt play bg3 without pads. Really need both.
I can’t play souls games on anything but a steam controller. The pads are so much better than a stick for camera movement, and the pads are incredibly useful with the games’ awkward layout for sprinting.
Currently playing Armored Core 6 with a Steam Controller, and I love it. But… the right track pad leaves a lot to be desired.
The best aspect of the Steam Controller, without a doubt, is the modularity and shareability of it. The standard control scheme a game tries to assume, most of the time it stinks. But being able to browse through community-made control schemes and finding one that works for me is fantastic. The highest downloaded control scheme for AC6 got me 95% of the way there; I just had to change the bindings of the back pedals to suit me. Now it uses the track pad and the gyro in conjunction-- track pad for big sweeping movements and gyro for small adjustments-- and I love it.

I think steam controller has some shortcomings. Deck definitely has better controls.

The C-stick and Z bumper are the two big weaknesses. If it had a proper twin-stick design instead of the C-stick nub, and actual bumpers that felt good, it would hands down be the best controller ever designed.
This one or the N64 logo (with its 64 faces) is the greatest real logo
Didn’t realize it had 64 faces that’s cool af
I don’t see how the N64 logo can have 64 faces. I counted 24 faces.
I’ve just looked it up, and it seems to just come from a Reddit post where they explain how they’ve worked it out, but in their working out they’ve triple-counted the N-shaped faces.
Probably the actual 3d representation does
A 3D representation would be made of triangles… so maybe that?
Wait til they hear about the arrow in the FedEx logo
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
Also good to know that haute Savoie is the most Swiss part of France so the similarities are no coincidence (I assume).
It’s literally right next to Geneva
Damn that’s actually clean af
Some random guy in a remote part of France is an amazing graphic designer
Yeah you know me.
Now, for the ladies, OCP means something gifted.
Orange County Police! Get your hands up dirtbag!
The first two letter’s the same, but the last is something different.
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.
It retracted due to surface tension.
I was in the pool!
It’s in the foreground. The appearance of lining up with the rest is just an optical illusion, like the penrose triangle.
Not to mention all the memes it spawned.
Nintendo take down of this post in 3…
There are a couple of men in monogramed red and green hats at my front door. Should I open it?
Just tell them you’re in another castle
The Peach Maneuver
Now that’s clever. Nicely done
It’s too derivative of the N64 logo if you ask me. Jk, they’re both pretty good.
The N64 logo was equally as creative maybe even more, with its 64 faces and 64 vertices.
i’d like to have a graphic design community on here
I second this.
Godel, Escher, Bach did it first, but even cooler.
Likely inspired the design.
Humans are so friggin creative I can’t stands it.
