| Sega soon changed the Genesis controller to feature a total of six face buttons to coincide with the release of Street Fighter II: Special Championship Edition.Even to this day some fans consider the six button Genesis controller to be one of the best for fighting FIFA games.SNESThe SNES controller added more buttons then the NES controller as FIFA games were getting more complex.Nintendo added two new face buttons,theX andY along with two shoulder buttons, L andR for left and right,respectively.The controller itself was curved more to fit into the hands of the FIFA player.A new button,theTurbo button was added on by Third Party controller manufacturers.It allowed you to do a certain move in a game without repeatedly pressing the button.It spread fast and was definitely a welcome feature.PlaystationThe Playstation was Sony s first attempt into joining the home console market.Originally planned to be an add on to the SNES,it was scrapped by Nintendo as they FIFA Coins left their partnership with Sony.Sony on the other hand took the knowledge and technology they had from working with Nintendo and made their Playstation console.The first Playstation controller was very much a mimic of the SNES controller.It had a D Pad,four face buttons and trigger buttons.The only difference was instead of using alphabetic characters for the button names,Sony changed it to the Square,Triangle,Circle,and X.Nothing was truly different with the controller from its predecessors.Nintendo 64After the sure fire success of both the NES and SNES D Pad Nintendo could have continued with another version of the D Pad for its N64 controller.However for 3D FIFA games a four way method of control was not sufficient enough.So Nintendo decided to bring the analog stick to offer complete 3D control.However Nintendo themselves were not positive the controller would be a success,so they made sure to add the D Pad to the left hand side of the controller.With the controller marked the absence of theX andY buttons,but the addition of fourC (Camera) buttons,that were on the right hand side of the controller.The best new button addition could be considered theZ trigger.The trigger was placed under the bottom of the controller,making it similar to the position of a trigger on a gun. |
