The game controller is a common component of electronic game consoles, which controls virtual characters in games by manipulating its buttons, etc.
The standard configuration of the game controller was established and implemented by Nintendo, which includes three control buttons: the cross key (direction), ABXY key (action - also marked by hardware manufacturers using different methods, but the arrangement is generally the same), and select and pause key (menu). Foreign countries mainly focus on console controllers, including Microsoft's XBOX series and Sony's PS series.
Most of the controllers in China that are compatible with multiple modes are implemented by Beitong game controllers, including mainstream computers (PCs), smartphones, smart TVs, etc.
The D-Pad is Nintendo's most famous innovation in gaming controllers. Almost every game controller today can see the presence of the cross arrow keys. The history of this cross key can be traced back to the handheld versions of "Da Kong" by Shigeru Miyamoto, Junpei Yokoi, and others.
In order to enter the handheld market, Nintendo has decided to launch a handheld version of "King Kong". When designing hardware interaction, Nintendo encountered a challenge: if it were to use a joystick device similar to a home console, the overall appearance would become clumsy.
Nintendo's hardware designer Junpei Yokoi solved this problem with the cross key. This simple and efficient design was officially launched on the first generation G&W of Nintendo's handheld version of King Kong, and quickly became popular, almost becoming a standard feature on all handheld devices.
Wireless controller
In addition to classic innovations like the cross directional keys, Nintendo was also the earliest manufacturer to experiment with wireless controllers. As early as 1989, they first attempted wireless controller design on NES hosts. At that time, the device was called "NES Satellite", which allowed up to four players to connect their controllers to a transmitter, and a receiver was added to the NES console, which emitted signals to the receiver, achieving the goal of using controllers to control the console game.
In 2002, Nintendo released a true wireless controller and won the Best Externals award at the 2002 E3 exhibition, WaveBird. The WaveBird controller connects to the NGC host through wireless frequency pairing
