Responses To Nintendo's Revolution Controller

Gamasutra has reactions to last week's Question of the Week, discussing the Nintendo Revolution Controller. While there were a lot of mixed feelings, overall the response seemed to be positive. From the article: " I certainly hope [the controller will be beneficial]. More of the same thinking in terms of developing the future of games can only take us so far. As a lifelong gamer and game developer, I urge everybody in our industry to support the innovation and risks taken by Nintendo on sheer principle. We always lament that there is no creativity and innovation in the games industry anymore. Guys, we have to rally around these initiatives. It brings a tear to my eye that somebody out there in this big brutal word of ROI and risk management still dares to go out on a limb like that to push gaming further. And my mouth waters when I think of designing for such hardware. -Marque Sondergaard, Powerhouse"

Just like commenting on the PS3 controller:
"Ooooh! A banana-rang, how innovative!"

or on the X360 controller:
"Ooooh! It's white and um... ugly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (and huge)"

Looks aren't everything, and no offence, didn't your mom tell you that?

You just gave me an idea for a TV commercial. It starts off quoting your post, fades to black, and a narrator says "This is your brain on drugs." Think how many kids will be scared straight!

Oh, you mean the one that has it's OWN CONTROLLER? ... WITH A BAZILLION BUTTONS? ... THAT COSTS 200 BUCKS?
