It's a remote! But with sensors. Sounds like it could be cool, but tiring at the same time. When I'm exhausted I don't want to have to wave my arm around.

[!King_Amazon!]

I would have to try it for myself to really know, but it sounds pretty nifty.

[Kaneda]

Eh.. Its revolutionary and all but I mean how practical does that really seem? I do liek the fact that you can turn it sideways and play NES style.

I wonder if racing games will pick it up if you start leaning into corners and the like, and let you turn better. I know I did it with Rad Racer and stuff when I was little.

[Medieval Bob]

I don't see why everyone is being so critical. The writer of the article said it felt natural. I love the creativity and new possibilities.

God...Nintendo just keep getting lamer and lamer...They should just become third party software dveeloepr and make Zelda and stuff for PS3 and XboX360

[Lenny]

It's...interesting. A bit weird though. Could be good, could be bad.

I haven't actually read the article, just looked at the pics. I haven't got the time to read it yet...

[JRwakebord]

Wow... That looks incredible. I actually hadn't considered getting the revolution before, but after reading that article...Damn. I may get it just because of the possibilities of that controller.

Yeah, screw the massive profit they are currently making (as opposed to Sony/Microsoft's losses last quarter) and years of R&D for the Revolution, they should just quit the hardware business now for no discernable reason

[Sovereign]

That controller setup actually looks pretty nifty. Maybe they'll make a duckhunt for it O_O

I think I just came in my pants.

[Medieval Bob]

Duckhunt will be downloadable.

[JRwakebord]

I did just cum in my pants!

[Kaneda]

lmfao.

[Jamesadin]

Definatly sounds interesting.

[quikspy67]

Different yet COOL.

[Jamesadin]

Im really liking the idea of using it as a sword fighting game... imagine the online multiplayer!

[Grav]

That would be fun.

Wow...

Wow...
Steals his dream.

I know what you mean. Playing a game with real time battling and having to swing around a controller to attacka nd defend yourself, so cool.

Just seen some pictures of it, supposively it's been out for a while. I think it's pretty silly looking, and doubt that it'll go well with its customers. I mean it's a joystick, and a remote control. Great innovation there guys. Go make me another mario party, lawl.

stupid.

[Lenny]

Want to know what else is stupid?

I'm accustomed to the old style of controllers, I don't know why nintendo has to be emo and change it up that dramatically. I mean people jab the Playstation controll for being oddball shaped, and looking like a boomerang, but the Nintendo controller...isn't. It's a remote. Who knows. Maybe it'll do good and people will love it, but the person writing that article is a nintendo rep so who cares what they say.

[Penguin]

Shhh... D3V dosent know any better.

[Medieval Bob]

...Mark McDonald is the executive editor for EGM... moron.

Point and match.

I think it is a pretty cool idea.

I find this funny, you know...how the system is called "Revolution" and all, but you know...it may just be me and all but I figured that would mean, well that the next console would be well revolutionary, including the controller for it since a controller does help define a console and make it stand out too some degree.

This whole direction Nintendo went with is revolutionary, yea so what it looks like a tv remote, but it has different buttons and the whole position sensors. This makes me want to get a Revolution even more. Mind you I am getting a PS3 and possibly a Xbox 360. If I dont get a X360, my friends will so I can trade consoles for a while and such.

I just thought "Revolution" meant something new, in this case new with console gaming. But hell, i'm just a 17 year old. What do I know?

[JRwakebord]

I love the possibilities that the new controller opens up.

[!King_Amazon!]

I'm just worried about how well the controller will actually work, like if you are handling a sword or something. Hopefully it wont just be a fancy Eyetoy or something.

[Da Chang Gang]

I heard alot of people thought it was corny.

[JRwakebord]

Can you say *bump*?

And I still can't wait to try it.

[HandOfHeaven]

I wonder if it has a microphone built into it.
