Personally I'd like to see a demonstration of it in use on any type of game. Not just seeing people using it, but what effect it has on the game as well.

Cant tell how good is untill I get chance to use it. It looks pretty cool. I predict it will be a big hit or an utter failure, nothing in between those.

I agree with Janus. I mean, Sony didn't come up with one of the benchmarks of modern day FPS's : Goldeneye. My first console was a SNES :D

Imagine playing a Star wars game on it! VVVVWIIIING!! Unless you get the players that spin it round like a bottle.

so IGN atleast has added another article or modified the article to show another device the the new controller will be able to use. Its basically a GC controller with the center removed, and the new controller slides in. So now you can have the GC controller with all of its buttons and the new features!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I guess this will be my prediction for how each generation will be controlled.
1.) NES - uses the new controller turned at 90 degrees

2.) Snes uses the GC style controller which has two top buttons like the SNES, and A, B, X, Y like the nes

3.) N64, uses the GC style controller, I think this should be straight.

4.) GC - GC style controller.

5.) Revolution games will probably be a large mixture. I am guessing to start with they will just use the GC style controller and it will be just like using a wavebird, this way it makes for easier development ports. The games made by Nintendo will be the 1st to use all the new controller features then with new rounds of development other companies will embrace the technology.

Does anyone else think Sony and Microsoft will just steal this idea in this generation of consoles?

Say it with me now.

This is a good thing

Porting requirements are whats making new PC and console games suck more. I don't care about reaching a larger audience. Game developers should choose a platform for their game and stick with it. Besides who would want to port a Revolution game to PS2 or XBox with their sucky antiquated controllers? :)

Only problem I can forsee for nintendo is portability; it will be nearly impossible to directly port a game over from the PC or another console, so game developers will mostly have to make specialised games just for the revolution.

I would say that this would give nintendo a big advantage in first person shooters. I've never been comfortable with them on consoles just because it always felt awkward. This would almost be like having a mouse to control your aiming. You're practically holding the gun.

And you know what their real goal is with this.

It looks like the power glove done right though. Innovation abounds at Nintendo. While MS and Sony are apparently solely concerned with how much graphics they can throw on our screens Nintendo works on making games that are fun to play. Imagine that. :) I'm very intrigued by the Revolution now.


Nintendo have always been about the Fun factor of games really.

PS. Soul Calibur will never of been so great with this controller :D

I guess it all boils down to what you prefer.
Fun gameplay, or graphics.
