00:00Gyrations team up with Bridge Design to pitch a controller prototype commissioned by Nintendo.
00:05Nintendo instructed them to retain the GameCube's button layout and express the desire for one
00:10or two handed gaming.
00:11The two came up with what was referred to as the Gyropod, which is notably different
00:16from the current design.
00:17It features a nearly symmetric design with a right handle being slightly longer and the
00:22button layout looking similar to that of the GameCube's.
00:25Notably, the center platform where the analog sticks are breaks away from the right handle.
00:31Eventually, the Wii Remote design would end up looking more like just that, a remote.
00:36The analog stick would be relegated to the Nunchucks add-on which bears striking resemblance to the
00:40center handle of the Nintendo 64's controller.
00:43While the gaming community at large passively debates the efficiency of the Wii Remote as
00:47a controller, it definitely was different for the time.
