>Lose the handle, get rid of the retarded black jewel and replace it with a big engraved GCN logo, make it dark grey instead of purple, keep the light grey accents and orange run light
>use two grey analog sticks instead of the C-stick (seriously, it's the same fucking thing, you can even pop a left analog onto the C-stick if you open the controller... why did they waste money on a separate mold and dyes for a shittier analog stick?), add a second Z-button to the left side, make the start button larger and with a GCN logo on it, fill in the dead space between the d-pad and C-stick and make the d-pad larger
>Make Melee the marquee launch title, scrap weegee entirely
>Never once consider releasing Windfaggot and instead divert all Zelda-related resources to developing OoT 2
>Keep Rare around, try to re-hire the guys who left during the late 90s and let them lead the team developing Perfect Dark Zero for a 2003 release, trying to corner the FPS market with PD, Metroid Prime and as many third party shooters as possible (hopefully id Software if they could be pried from Microsoft)
>actually give developers hardware documentation for adding LAN/internet features to their games utilizing the optional broadband adapter, instead of purposely making networking features impossible to add because they have no fucking clue how to do it (and you didn't want them to do it because Mario doesn't like the internet, or something)
>take the several million dollars saved from aborting weegee, not including a handle, not including separates molds and materials for the C-stick and logo jewel, and use the money to include 4mb of built-in memory for saving games, then double the MSRP of memory cards
