"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!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months 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.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Now I’m holding Z on all 4 controllers.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months 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?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, you could hold the Z button at startup and it would make squeaking sounds instead of the normal thing.

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

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months 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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (3 children)

I don't see how the N64 logo can have 64 faces. I counted 24 faces.

Wait til they hear about the arrow in the FedEx logo

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (4 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

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.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It retracted due to surface tension.

I was in the pool!

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

i'd like to have a graphic design community on here

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

I second this.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Not to mention all the memes it spawned.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Nintendo take down of this post in 3...

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Just tell them you're in another castle
