Revolution Offers Hope For Disabled Gamers?

Posted by Zonk on from the that-can-only-be-a-good-thing dept.

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."

    Yes, nothing is better than to speculate wildly on the basis of a few facts and PR releases.

    I've never seen so many people let their imaginations spin so wildly out of control about a toy. There hasn't been a single screenshot released, or even examples other than tech demos of how the controller will actually be used.

    There is no way that the reality of the product will live up to the hopes people are piling on top of it.
