The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences has gifted Nintendo with an Emmy Award, recognizing the breakthrough innovative interfaces used in both the Wii (motion sensing) and DS (touch screen).
Don James, VP of operations at Nintendo commented:
"The pioneering interfaces for Wii and Nintendo DS reflect our long tradition of seeking new ways to enhance the gaming experience for users at every level. We're grateful for this award and thank the academy for honoring us".
This is the second Emmy for Big N in as many years. At the last ceremony they were lauded for inventing the D-Pad.

Awesome! Nintendo invented the D-Pad, analog sticks, rumble, shoulder buttons, while Sony and Microsoft just copy them.

Sony won the most suckiest console award and Microsoft won the most breaking down console award. Wii rocks.

This is what innovation gets you: recognition. Well deserved award.
YoshLee said:
Awesome, Nintendo totally deserves the emmy. They think up awesome ideas, heck they pretty much invented and enhanced video games all by themselves.

I'm glad that the PS3 didn't win an Emmy.

Nintendo rules! That's another reason big N is better than Sony.

Wii will just get better and better. Innovation is the key and Nintendo has it. Congratulations Nintendo!
Frogman said:
I'm surprised that Nintendo didn't win an award for creating the analog stick. It was such an improvement that all of the game companies copied Nintendo and started using them. *coughs* Sony and Microsoft *coughs*.
