Some of these are dumb (iPod->Wii Remote; transparent red N64), but the DS Lite felt very Apple-inspired when it came out. The WiiU controller also has some tablet-inspired design to it. Stealing ideas, though, this is always dumb. About as dumb as that picture about Sony stealing analog sticks or whatever.

I remember back when Nintendo first showed the GBA at whatever trade show, the original designs were white with teal or orange accents. At the time, Apple was selling these laptops:

From: YetAnothrShadow | #014 I don't believe so. The GBC was mainly available in these colors: They had a few other special ones, most notably the yellow Pokemon one with the blue D-pad and the red & green buttons, but I don't think there was ever a translucent red. Anyway I don't believe this was a case of Nintendo copying Apple at all. Nintendo had been releasing systems in a variety of colors since the Play It Loud Game Boys back in 1994. -- Black Turtle spilled my diet soda! ... Copied to Clipboard!

oh I agree, it's hardly the worst thing about nintendo, but only a total nintendo fanboy could deny how much they model themselves after apple. either they've recently completely lost their creativity or they've just gotten worse at disguising their influences, you can see shadow of the colossus footprints all over twilight princess lol

...dude, the DS itself isn't that far apart from the DS Lite. and the comparison's a joke here. The WiiU controller also has some tablet-inspired design to it. with nothing inside being like a tablet. the idea of having a screen isn't 'tablet designed' any more than VMUs to the Dreamcast (which is the real point something commercially was made like this) or their handhelds are. and they aren't gonna have a fully functional controller like that in the timeframe between the tablet craze either. -- The future must protect the clone's past.

...dude, the DS itself isn't that far apart from the DS Lite. and the comparison's a joke here. ...what? There is a significant difference in style between the two. The original DS looked like a Fisher Price toy; the DS Lite is has a sleek design reminiscent of Apple's devices. There's nothing that's especially "joke-worthy" about that comparison. There's nothing offensive about having an "Apple-inspired" design either -- it doesn't mean they stole and copied Apple and Nintendo is a sham or whatever. The DS Lite is one of their best system designs ever; it was unusually sleek and efficient for a Nintendo product. Before that, their last console looked like a lunchbox. -- Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. ... Copied to Clipboard!
