D-Pad: 4 Directions of Patented Genius | Two Button Crew
19#577 - The Directional Pad is something that many gamers take for granted, but it really was a novel invention at the time that Nintendo introduced it. While it's been largely taken out of the spotlight by analog sticks, the digital input solution still has its own merits. We're going to discuss its inception, the Nintendo patent, and what their competitors did in response. It's another interesting history lesson brought to you by Two Button Crew!
