Miyamoto Hints At Second Revolution Secret
Gamespot reports that despite new information on the Revolution, there is still much we don't know about the console. Shigeru Miyamoto hinted at the DIEC that there was yet more to reveal about the Revolution controller. From the article: "At the Digital Interactive Entertainment Conference held in Kyoto, Japan, Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendo's chief game designer and creator of the Mario and Legend of Zelda franchises, gave the keynote speech. He talked about the history of controllers for Nintendo's various consoles, from the pre-NES systems to current consoles like the GameCube. He ended his lecture with words toward the future, specifically the Revolution, stating that there's more to its controller than what's already known. 'The [Revolution's] controller still has another secret,' stated Miyamoto. 'But it's something that we'll reveal next year.'"
...but the big secret, and the reason it's so cool, is that if you press the buttons in the right combination, a secret compartment opens to reveal an ounce of pure heroin. You heard it here first, and remember - it's on teh intarweb now, so it must be true.
ABSURDITY, n.: A statement or belief manifestly inconsistent with one's own opinion.
The big secret is that it caters to the gamergrrl. It's ribbed for her pleasure.
According to this unbiased site the PSP is owning.
It is a crystal array and power cell attachment to turn the controller into a light saber.
How can you be so blind? =)
What if Nintendo's strategy was to make an announcement that they're hiding a Revolution feature that will change the gaming world, then go onto the intarweb, read peoples' speculation, pick the best ideas, and implement them?
Seriously, they've announced features, without actually announcing what they are, about three times now since the Revolution was first announced.
1. It doubles as a Universal Remote with automatic setup.
2. You can (easily) interchange the functions of the buttons. ie. A becomes B, ect.
3. Interchangable faceplates
4. Revolution's going fully 4D and all games with be constant, even when your not there. The controller will light up when your missing something good.
I can see it now, your out on the town when your Revolution controller begins flashing the bat signal. You excuse yourself saying: "I must go, the Joker is at it again."
Demented But Determined.
Your controller is your memory card
(Gets angry at impossible-to-beat final boss on the last level of the game)
(throws controller at wall in fit of rage)
(realize I'll have to start the entire game over again because the memory card had my saved game on it)
(throws Revolution system at wall in fit of rage)
(sighs in relief that the Revolution only cost $149)
Yes, I think me and the Nintendo Revolution will get along just fine.
