Fun fact: the Wii remote was meant to be an new controller for the GameCube, and Nintendo even made a prototype of it with wired connection to the console, but later they pushed it to be launched with the Wii since the GC didn't sell that well.

You can customize them yourself. I changed my joycons to indigo to match my Gamecube controller. It's very easy and only takes like half an hour to complete. I would definitely recommend to do it if you want colors that aren't available through Nintendo. Edit: You can also change the backplate which takes less than 5 minutes, I did that as well.

You forgot some things, 1. New style SNES/Super Famicom Jr. 2. iQue Player (Chinese Exclusive), 2003. 3. Wii Mini, Late 2012 (Around the same release date as the Wii U). 4 & 5: NES/Famicom Classic; SNES/Super Famicom Classic. 6: The Wii Classic Pro, 2008 (Repositioned the cord, made the controller look more conventional, and has 2 handles)
To be honest he is the most underrated and smartest and best information spreader in the world
Honestly to this day, the gc controller might just be my favourite controller of all time
how did this channel not hit 1M subs yet
8:03 so you're... comparing a controller that was released in 2001 to one that was released in 2020?
bro this gives me so much nostalgia!
Nintendo is my favorite video game company

I don’t know how many times I’ve said that the wii u is such an underrated console it has some of the best games
This is what innovation looks like. Changing the way of playing a game with each new system.
Yes. finally. I can't wait to see it. thank you so much. keep up the good work
Great animation as always. Keep up the good work
Nintendo also released the Wii classic controller pro, which added trigger buttons, unlike the two smaller buttons that acted as them on the original classic controller, and two hand grips similar to more traditional controllers

He needs a raise, his effort is amazing. Keep up the great videos!

I don't understand why everyone dogs on the N64 controller. (I grew up with the Wii, no childhood bias) I own and play the N64, and it's fine. Pretty comfortable for 3D and 2D games.
I know the Wii U gets crapped on a lot, but can we take the time to appreciate the amazing things on the system?

The next controller from Nintendo should have the A, B, C, X, Y, and Z buttons on the left side. The analogs should be on the right side. The triggers should have force sensitivity, and it should have a guide button which is either the Super Mario symbol, or the Nintendo logo.
Don’t you just love the fact that they put Mario bros (1983) when the background was super Mario bros (1985)

Fun Fact: Since Game Boy Player came out (To make it backward compatible) They made an Accessory that can plug in your Game Boy/Gameboy Advance As a Controller!
6:48 There's actually an even rares setup: Using the middle prong of two controllers (supported in a few games like Goldeneye)
I didn't know they made the controller in 1993 lol. Thanks for the information!
it’s kinda funny that he has to upload this every time nintendo comes out with something

Ahhhhhhh I love this
this guy is the best at evoution videos
Love your videos lost a whole evening watching all the evolutions 😂, got to request the evolution of Sega controllers next
I just noticed how similar the n64 and GameCube controller are through this video. The GameCube is the same thing but without the 3rd handle and they placed the analog sticks in the right place and changed the button layout but really and truly they’re the same design.
You can add a small touchscreen to the joy-cons and a bigger to the pro-controller
When flatlife uploads the world cheers
Flatlife: rumble pack The non auto CCs: rumble PAK
The wii remote was also designed to look like a nes controller then held horizontally
flatlife here are some video ideas, btw you are my favorite youtuber and i watched all your evolution videos :D videos: Evolution of boeing. evolution of airbus. evolution of helecopters. these are just some but might be pretty good. and keep up the great work!
I love your Videos because, the drawings like the Nintendo switch, Xbox, Playstation. I think you are doing a hard work.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome Keep the great work ...........you always come back when we want you
Nice content bro, really hope you gain 200K in the near future.
Bro I love your editing
My lifes not flat thanks to channels like this
I remembered when the Wii U become a flop for Nintendo since they tried to improve skills and power of their consoles, but at least the Switch has the first hybrid console since it has two Joy-Cons and also can be used as an handheld for sleeping, going out or even in the toilet.
Love The thumbnail it was ahead of its time
Nice video your artworks are beautiful👍
I just love this guy because he has more content than our books do
Fun fact: If none of you knew, at least a quarter or even half of the world who owns a switch also has joy con drift! This makes the game control itself. Even I have it.
If Flatlife was a teacher, will be the best teacher I ever seen
I think the Nintendo with the joysticks up and down are pretty comfy
Great job as always
