nintendo has invented many things, but remember they also made a few other things...

I never claimed they started wireless, they were the first ones to make an official one that actually worked and in many ways replace the original controller.

And you say needed, but who say they were. I mean the D-Pad wasn't need there wasd a way to control characters before hand. The shoulder buttons weren't needed, just add more face buttons, the Genesis one had 5 face buttons. Rumble feedback.. same deal...

The fact is you think they are important now because they have been proven to be important. I say give the new controller a chance to show it is needed and not just some gimmick.
