I thought i saw something that the cables were like 7ft back in the day. -- nm - iSpam Nov 4, 10:10 5
- It was. I don't get why Nintendo did this. -- nm - Inigo Nov 4, 10:23 3
  - same reason it has ever only come with one controller? -- nm - Beaker Nov 4, 10:24 2
    - I can see the whole controller being a cost thing. A couple less feet of basic cable can't more than a dollar savings. -- nm - Inigo Nov 4, 10:28 1
      - I always assumed it was to make people pay a little bit extra :) -- nm - Beaker Nov 4, 10:33
- Twas. -- nm - Ender Nov 4, 10:21
