Revolution Controller

What do you guys think about it?

My first impression was it looked odd and I'm not sure how the general public will take to it. But as I think more about it, and hear more about what it's capable of, I get more excited about it. I really wanted Nintendo back on top, and I seriously hope this can tilt it in their favour. Games have been getting too similar, original playing style is few and far between, but this opens up a whole new dimension to work with.

I'm pretty sure if I get a next gen console, it'll be revolution now.

wen i saw the remote part. and that was all they were showing at first i was put off.

then later they showed it attaching to somthing like a regular controller.
it was better. but the attachment still looks annoying to me.

I probably havent read up on it as much as you have.
so im just going off visual really.

I'll probably warm up to it after i play a display in a video game store

better then the bat rang I tried picking up an old skool NES controller the other day... holy crap, how did i ever manage to use that thing?

I read how they were trying to make it backwards compatible with vintage nes games, and if you turn the controller on it's side, you get a NES style controller.

The feel of it won't b exactly the same as holding a TV remote, there's a dip in the bottom with a trigger button so it should feel more natural in your hand.

I didn't read about it, someone just sent me the trailer and that was the first I saw of it. Didn't even know it was Nintendo until the end. I think it's really fucking cool. I had often wondered if something like that would be practically possible.

It seems like a response to the endless oneupmanship of the console wars. Nintendo really can't win against Microsoft and Sony if they just keep releasing more powerful consoles. They've had a game advantage in the past but that is gone. Setting themselves apart seems like the only way to compete. Why buy a Nintendo if it's just a lamer version of the competition?

And that's the thing, I stopped caring about these "bigger and better" consoles around the time the PS2 came out. This is the first time I've really been excited about a console hardware development since then - and from Nintendo no less, a company I haven't been that passionate about in the past.

a friend of mine said that nintendo's inspiration for that controller design came from the thought that the graphics will be so sexy you'll have to free up one hand to masterbate whilst you play.

which makes me wonder...

could you imagine the kind of hentai games those people could make for a controller like that?
