![]() Just about the coolest thing I've ever seen. Absolutely stunning. Today would be a great day to be a game developer. Please people, you have to support this kind of thinking. Just brilliant. Surprised the hell out of me...gotta love the N.

![]() I think it would be pretty good for FPS and slash and hack games, but I don't get how you are supposed to play RPGs or games like SSB3 :<. Plus isn't it supposed to be backwords compatible to all nintendo games? How are you supposed to play the old ones without the old setup? Unless you have to buy another controller.
Think I'm going to have to wait and see how it works with games before deciding anything. |

![]() First of all, they could easily create an adapter that allowed you to plub an N64 controller into the bottom of the Rev controller (or any other system controller for that matter). I've been wondering what control scheme they'll go with for SSB3, but there are a few decent ones I can think of. RPG's will be great on the cube. Put a little more interactivity into the genre. Instead of tapping A at a certain time to continue a 'combo' in paper mario, you could just have to flick your wrist up at a certain time. I think most people are going to have to wait to play it in order to fully realize what this is going to open up, and do for gaming in general.

is against custom titles
![]() ![]() |
![]() Innovative: Yes.
Practical: No. Nintendo is further alienating the fighting game genre from its systems. There is NO way one could play a game like MvC2 on this. Many games don't need the ability to just move the mouse to make your character do something. Sometimes moves need to be precise, sometimes you're just going to be jerking the controller around and not want anything to change. Of course, there are some games (such as RPGs, Brainmaster) that can be played with any controller. And others that will only be greatly enhanced by this new technology. But to just give the shaft to everything else saddens me. It's only because Nintendo has such AMAZING first and second party support that they're still alive. They had almost zero third party support for the Gamecube, but I think they'll have even less for the Revolution. --Guido http://andy.mikee385.com |

This reminds of when I wanted to play Sonic Adventure 2 using a Guncon controller. |

![]() How many buttons did you need for super smash brothers? it's been way too long since i've played. But I have no doubt that Nintendo will find a great control setup for one of it's flagship titles. I mean, personally i won't mind one bit having to jerk the controller up to jump...Granted, there will be some control problems in some genres...but isn't that why most hardcore gamers prefer playing FPS's on a PC rather than console? And isn't Halo still one of the most popular franchises today?
EDIT: Oh, and if they can't find a suitable control scheme, let's no forget that there are GC controller ports on the console. So maybe just be happy with a next-gen, online out of the box for free smash brothers, eh?

![]() Actually, I was amazed at the concept, but like it was said before, it use for anything other than Hack and Slash, FPS, and maybe a platformer, seems pretty improbable.

In any event, this is the coolest thing I have seen in such a long time. I can see where I wouldn't be able to play certain games with it, but it's no problem. If it does have Gamecube ports, then I get to use my favorite controller design for this. ~Squeek |

![]() Wow, there's already a thread.
This is brilliant. So what if Nintendo's not going the "conventional" way that the PS3 and X360 are? This little thing looks like it could open the door to whole new genres of gaming. Third party developers might be wary at first, since it's a completely new, untested feel, but if Nintendo plays their cards right, companies will be begging to make games for the Revo. Seriously, this has restored my hope in Nintendo after the sub-par GCN and their massacre of the handheld system (DS), and has made me reconsider getting an Xbox 360 (Of course, i'm not buying anything until i see some games). The controller unveiling couldn't have come at a better time. |

![]() Not entirely sure if GC controllers will be used for regular games, but the euro head of Nintendo said they're also planning to release an add-on which will more closely resemble a normal controller, which will help when playing some 3rd party games. The add-on will still be able to take advantage of the depth perception, and tilt perception features.

I wasn't going to get a Revolution anyway, but wow. Nintendo will be dead in a couple of years for sure, at this rate.

![]() This is the coolest thing i have seen regarding the next-gen consoles.
All the hardware crap I don't care about. I think this is really cool there's A, B, Z1, Z2, a, and b buttons so playing older games shouldn't be a problem. The controller reacts to movement, so that helps even more. I like the layout of the buttons, so look nice to me. I don't really understand how you're supposed to press all the buttons, but it'll just take a little getting used to
