Nintendo Revolution Controller Revealed

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the fancy-remotes dept.

kakos writes "At the Tokyo Game Show, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has revealed what the Nintendo Revolution controller looks like. The new controller is a radical departure from traditional controller types. Has Nintendo struck gold with their new controller design? The reviewers seem to think so. It should be interesting to see how gamers react to Nintendo's new innovation."

    Nintendo is playing Russian roulet with an AK-47.

    How many times do they need to shoot themselves in the foot, leg, arm, groin, shoulder, and any other extremedy until they realize that they should stop trying to come up with new ideas, just because they look or sound good.
    The controllers we have now are so widely used because they work.
    Whenever new funcitons are necessary for gaming, they can be easily adapted to the controler and be utilized.

    Of course in a day down the road, the functions and actions in game will require for a complete and revolutionary controller.
    It is possible that this is the revolutionary controller, but sure as hell doesn't look like it.

    Maybe they won't put it as eloquently, but you get the idea.

    Or maybe they will put it more eloquently. It certainly seems possible.

    This... this is undescribable. ITS NOT A CONSOLE CONTROLLER! ITS A GOD #$@% DVD REMOTE! *sigh* Its going to be like playing PS2 with only an eyetoy. I dont want motion sensitivity, I dont want to play one handed (unless they have hentai games... what?) I want buttons dammit! I want change weapon to be "b" not "wave your arm in a circle to cycle through."
