Sorry if this is a dupe.
Nintendo reveals its controller for the Revolution gaming console. It looks like crap. I think it is going to crash and burn. How the hell are you supposed to use it? www.kotaku.com/gaming/nintendo-revolution/index.php -FOX- |

WTF???
I mean, I wasn't going to buy one anyway, but WTF are they thinking??? |
|
I was actually considering buying one, but after seeing a gaming controller that looked like one for my TV I said no way. I hope they come out with 3rd party ones with better designs.
|
|
That thing look like a steaming pile of shit. I was going to buy a Revolution too.
Guess it's a PS3 for me then. Nintendo needs to stop trying to innovate so goddamn much and go back to their roots of making good consoles and great games. |

|
Hey! It's the COLECOVISION controller, without the ergonomics!
|
|
That "equally-faggy looking analog stick" was required to make it Airsoft-compatible, silly.
|
|
so awesome that you want to crap your pants? |
|
|
I'll admit the Revolution had me excited. With the option of playing any of Nintendo's past games, I was stoked. But how in the sweet chocolate christ am I going to play the original Mario Bros or Metroid with that abortion of a controller? |
|
|
The console, yes. The controller, not no, but HELL NO!. |

Turn the controller sideways. The layout is just like the NES controller. We played around with the idea of a magicwond pointer thingy game controller in my Computer programing class a couple years ago, I think it will be great, very accurate and precisce, most of all intuative. For exmaple for like a FPS, you would use the numcuck-dildo lookin stick to control the fwd-bawk left right and the pointer to aim you gun just as you would with a real gun. or like fishing,bassball, tennis game the controller is the rod, or the bat or requett. |

Next thing you know, they'll be making controllers in the shape of one of your molars.

|
The Revolution has Gamecube controller ports on the side. |
|
|
Jesus, it looks like some sort of "Personal Massager". Will Nintendo now ship products in a plain brown wrapper? |
|
|
What a ridiculously stupid idea. I really doubt it's going to be comfortable waving your hand around in front of you to control a first person shooter or sports game for hours on end. Some of these people need to stop trying to revolutionize gaming and stick with improving what has already been proven. At most, this sort of controller should have been an add-on device, like a steering wheel for racing games, for people who had a demand for it.

Nintendo has not had a real hit on its hands since I picked up my super nintendo back in 6th grade.
|
|
I think you guys are looking at this all wrong. Imagine the possabilities. (sp?) A light rifle for first person shooters that actually aims like a real rifle. Like the example said, more realistic fishing games. I'm sure there a re many more, but I'm alittle tired.

It could turn out to be pretty cool, especially if they do the shell thing right...
...however, at first glance it's WTF |
|
i just dont like the ideal that every movement of my arm is going to mess with the game so if i want to play a game for hours i have to hold my arm the whole time
|
|
Gee... it looks like on of my 5 other remotes. How orginal! |
|
|
I'll have to disagree, by this rational nothing needs to be improved in the gaming industry. With the improvments in graphics in next generation consoles, AI, and other technogical improvements being tossed into the next-gen I think its a good thing with Nintendo going this route. Does it look weird? Yes. Does it look like it will be difficult to learn? Maybe. Is it innovative and may be a nice alternative? IMO I think it may just well be. Plus there is always the controller shell that will allow the use of a normal controller. |

Nintendo is going in the right direction with this. Remember when the Playstation 1 had the ability to play audio CDs? The Nintendo 64 couldn't. The PS2 could play DVDs & the XBOX could do the same plus had a hard drive (I still can't believe the XBOX even lasted, its gaming lineup sucks with its only saving grace being Halo and Halo2). Nintendo stuck with just gaming with the Gamecube and they had the least amount of sales. They have to do something that sets them apart from the 360 & the PS3, and hopefully this with a good lineup of games will do it. I <------ A blissful Nintendo Kool-Aid Drinker |

they just need to get the devolpers onboard with it.
Remember Nintendo is pretty revolutionary when it came to gaming first to have a joypad instead of a stick with the original NES, first with rumble and a analog stick on the n64, all oif witch have become standard on most consoles. |

I think it's a neat idea. A lot will depend on the implementation and how skillful the developers are in using it.
Every thing I've heard from the demos shown is that its easy to get the hang of though, and there are only a few game genres that seem difficult to do with this kind of thing, and the controller shell takes care of that. It will certainly be different. Whether that's good or bad depends on implementation. I'm leaning towards good though. I'm drooling all over this imagining FPS though. It is the perfect system for console FPS. |
