I think they distanced themselves from it due to their arguably dishonesty in the arcade. Passing off Killer Instinct and Cruising USA as Ultra 64 hardware when the arcade boards were about as far aware from the n64 as possible. Why they did this I am not sure, either they over estimated the collaboration resulting hardware or they deliberately tried to hurt the sales of its competitors. My friend didn't buy a ps/saturn because he was convinced he'd have an arcade perfect Killer Instinct at home the following year.

It’s pretty clear from the shape that it was their original intention. At some point, they decided to change the name of the console. Not sure why. I clearly remember “Ultra 64” commercials in one of the Killer Instinct arcade games so it wasn’t just a code name.
@MikeJackson6905 жыл бұрын
@@MoneyManHolmes Wikipedia says, "Previously, the plan had been to release the console with the name "Ultra Famicom" in Japan and "Nintendo Ultra 64" in other markets. Rumors circulated attributing the name change to the possibility of legal action by Konami's ownership of the Ultra Games trademark. Nintendo said that trademark issues were not a factor, and the sole reason for any name change was to establish a single worldwide brand and logo for the console." Interesting! What with Famicon/SNES and Mega Drive/Genesis back then names were a bit ropey. Not sure what the Famicon/SNES thing was about but I know Sega had to rename the Mega Drive because of an existing trademark in North America. Anyway, seems Nintendo were on the case here and it makes sense to keep the name consistent. Why we couldn't all have the 'Nintendo Ultra 64' I don't know. I prefer the final name, anyway.

They could have possibly came to the realization after this prototype was made that it was actually more comfortable to rest your thumb on the top right of those buttons, so you can reach the C buttons easier, so they adjusted the button indicators to try and get them to be visible even if your thumb is on the button.

This, to me at least, shows how a few little tweaks can make something like a controller go from looking slightly unfinished and cheap to a final product that looks genuinely slick all round (the additional colours, the engraved Nintendo logo, the nicer circle indent around d-pad, the cleaner ring around the analog stick, the ring around the c buttons, the longer L and R buttons, the more trigger-looking Z button, etc). I think quite a few third party controller/peripheral manufactures could pay a bit more attention to those final stages in their designs and go from something that looks bad-okay to something that looks great.

I can't believe Nintendo had a concave joystick design at this early stage, and then never decided to use it on a home console again. I still prefer the joysticks on an Xbox-style controller over Nintendo's design of putting an extruded circle over a rounded joystick. Also, I find it interesting that the Ultra 64 button layout almost resembles a six button Sega controller. I never saw that resemblance before.
@BlueCardinal335 жыл бұрын
Not only that, but the six button layout suddenly makes sense to me now. Your thumb will always go in that diagonal direction. So to lay it out any other way is less ergonomic! Man, Nintendo really thought of everything. D-pad for digital inputs, Analog stick for analog, and perfectly positioned buttons for fast distinct inputs. I actually think this is maybe better than any modern controller design?...! Really the only thing missing are some pads on the back for 2-4 more buttons. Do any places sell USB N64 controllers with good analog sticks and 4 shoulder buttons?

1:34, the n64 controller is glossy compared to the matte black u64. The u64 looks like it was home diy spray painted to me. You should totally get a dome Ultra 64 decal made up to fit that controller in the top space.

I wonder if you could fit the retail controller guts and button pads into the prototype shell, but keep thge prototype buttons.

As someone who actually injured myself as a kid with the N64 joystick, I have to say, a rubberized control stick would have been a godsend. Seriously fuck that tug of war game.
