The Controller has a more versatile interface than the older SBs;
handcuffing it to the past might make it more consistent with the
others, but it doesn't take advantage of the expanded screen size and
scrolling capability. The original sync design made perfect sense for
the Controller; the new one makes synchronizing several players more
laborious. Instead of being able to synchronize several players all at
once, from the same screen, you have to flip-flop back and forth,
changing players and going into and out of different menu screens.
Making things more difficult and complicated on newer products solely
to achieve a misguided notion of consistency with older, less versatile
products, isn't exactly a step forward. There are other ways in which
the operation of the Controller is not "consistent" with the Classic or
SB1.

"Consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds."
