I like the innovation in pong. Modern video games would not have existed without it.keybladegamerI thought I was gonna be funny and say the "power pad" for Nintendo was a mind-blowing innovation, and then someone beats me to the punch with this golden treasure. Wow. Although, Nintendo also made such awesome gimmicks as the "power glove" and the "gyro"...they didn't last long. I think possibly the most powerful innovation has to be the merging of console gaming with the online community. PC's had it for years before consoles, and now look at how consoles can do just about anything. I remember when Halo first became available online, and I think the gaming community sat back and nearly pooped in their trousers, because so many people could now share the experience of being stuck playing the same game and same maps for hours because now the opponents would constantly change levels of skill. It was the easiest way to change the game without actually changing the game.
