I hold that one of Nintendo's biggest innovations with the NES was the use of a shift register in the controller. Because things like the NES' use of tilemaps, sprites, etc are evolutions of things that came before. However having a bus for the controllers was brand new and forward thinking

I didn't know that about Nintendo controllers. It's amazing when looking back at this stuff, how much is evolution. The joystick part of the Coleco Vision controller has the same wiring as Atari joysticks on the 9pin connector.
