The D-Pad Not Dead?

by Mike Sklens - August 6, 2000, 10:23 am EDT

This conversion process is making my head spin.

Sources close to Nintendo say the Dolphin will still be playable with a D-Pad! So what was all this noise about the Dolphin controller not having a D-Pad? That could be still be true.

Our sources tell us the GBA will be able to be used as a controller for Dolphin as well. The GBA will connect to the Dolphin either through the controller port or a separate connection. Since the GBA has a D-Pad....Taadaa...instant D-Pad.

Now while Millions of D-pad lovers break dance with happiness, there is no absolute guarantee that the next version of Tetrisphere, or Wetrix will use this sort of control scheme. My hopes is that they will. Why else would the GBA be used for a controller? Give us our D-Pad lovin'!
