Why would I buy a steering wheel or dance pad controller that required me to plug it into this controller when I could instead buy a steering wheel or dance pad that connects directly to the console (wireless or otherwise)?
Why does it matter either way? In the steering wheel's case, it would be cheaper to mount the controller in the wheel than to buy a new stand-alone accessory. In the case of plugging your controller into the wheel, you wouldn't need to have potentially pricey electronics in the wheel itself to sense rotation; the Revolution controller would already do that for you.
Nah, Mattel made it, though it was composed of a lot of technology from various companies. Nintendo seemed to get behind it pretty convincingly, though, even though I'm sure many Nintendo employees at the time knew that the glove just didn't work.
Anyway, I suspect that if they make a boxing game for the Revolution (with a glove where you can slip the controller into the a slit/pouch, connected through the extension port), it'll work perfectly. And then I can finally actually knock out Mike Tyson.
The final round of the Omegathon was epic. It was a one-on-one in the original Atari Combat, and probably the most intense live competition that I've ever witnessed. Words truly do not do it proper justice.
What do you mean? Nintendo published Eternal Darkness, and they essentially own the applicable rights to it. This patent was created for the game, so... what's so disappointing about this?

Perhaps you're actually thinking of the Atari 5200?

The first match ended 15-0, by the way. The rules were first to 15, or highest score in 5 minutes.
