Revolution Offers Hope For Disabled Gamers?

Via Joystiq, an article on Mercury News discussing the possible benefits to disabled gamers via use of Nintendo's unique Revolution control scheme. From the article: "Like many people with spinal-cord injuries that affect all four limbs, Taft retains some use of his arms and hands. But it's not enough for effectively operating the typical two-hand game device. He's confident his relatively strong right hand will be able to manipulate the new controller, which is part of the Revolution game system that's still under development by Nintendo."

Well, at least someone is optimistic about it... by PFI_Optix · 2006-01-30 09:27 · Score: 0, Redundant

The vast majority of material I've read about this thing has been negative. Can't say I've been terribly impressed by the neutral information, myself. A one-handed control seems counterintuitive and cumbersome for fast-paced games where a controller designed for two hands is far better suited. But, I've never had occasion to try one out...maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised by it when it finally hits the shelves.
