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

ಠ_ಠ

[–] frezik@midwest.social 39 points 1 month 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 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month 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.

[–] JayDee@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago

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?

[–] magic_lobster_party@kbin.run 26 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Now I’m holding Z on all 4 controllers.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month 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?

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)
[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago (2 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.

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.

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

[–] CptEnder@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month 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 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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 month 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 15 points 1 month 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 7 points 1 month ago

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

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nintendo take down of this post in 3...

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

Not to mention all the memes it spawned.

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

[–] Leg@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

I second this.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Godel, Escher, Bach did it first, but even cooler.

Likely inspired the design.

[–] Leg@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

Humans are so friggin creative I can't stands it.
