Official Nintendo Revolution Controller Revealed!

[Gryph]

Yeah, it's up to the developers to take advantage of the controller. Without their support it will fail (just like any system, even one with a normal controller).

Here's a teaser video for all you folks..

I think that Zelda one you posted was better.

[-SyN-]

Yeah the zelda one is better, and as far as the controller, I want one! i hope ot universal

 

seriously as gamecop said, wtf they was thinking?

 

Nintendo has truely shot off.

[Aztec Soldier]

L00ks stupid, hope it plays g00d though.

It be c00l if they come up with those arcade shooter games.

As I said in the other thread. It's all about software now. I for one would love to clash swords.

[Agozer]

If that is indeed the real controllers, it looks badass. If you ask me, I love the design. Sure, it most likely takes a bit of getting used to, but Nintendo sure cashed in the promises about the controller being 'revolutionary'.

 

Two thumbs up for the big N.

hmmmmmmm after seeing that video it's growing on me in a little weird way. will just wait and see to give final judgement.

[Lucandrake]

If the sword duel games are anything like the ones in the big arcades down here in miami(were you move left and suddenly your character in the screen swings right) then give me a new controller, but if it works as smoothly as I imagine it should (it's nintendo come on) then hell yea I would love the concept. Maybe you can add more then just a joystick to the back

[Wizard]

Various folk, including IGN, say that Metroid Prime 2 on it really rocked, and seemed very comfortable. Imagining it, playing an MP game with that could work, and tiring.

[Gryph]

This controller could be as good as mouse and keyboard for FPS games.

 

Also, here is an interview with Nintendo VP of Marketing, Perrin Kaplan.

I expect the controller to have a more ergonomic shape at the bottom so it's more comfortable to hold for long gaming sittings.

[Lucandrake]

Im considering buying a Revolution now.... I'm just imagining how fun most of the games on that will be on that, and online >.<!!!
