• Revolution controller looks like futuristic television remote.
• Glossy white design.
• Looks Apple iPod inspired.
• Controller is held in one hand. Attachments in the other.
• Attachments connect to the bottom of the controller. Iwata shows analog stick attachment.

yakumo, thats gonna be one hell of a space world, lucky bastard...lol

 

Actually, Nintendo doesn't have a presence at TGS outside of the keynote speech

But that is one amazing controller notheless.

 

Son of a bitch...I really wish I had the money to patent that (dual separated handheld controller) 5 years ago when I thought of it...

Yeah im sure let the mini games be released en mass

 

Looks like the biggest load of shit. BOTH hand need to be on a single control surface before any kind of precise feel is there. Nintendo really know how to run a company into the ground. Shit idea after shit idea.

 

The sites that played it are very positive! (IGN,EDGE,1UP,GAMESPOT)

 

Nice one Roi, nice.

 

Power to the Revolution!!!

 

people have been saying that it will alienate devs, but iu think devs forgot something, the revo can use gc pads, if your a dev who can see no way to use the innovative features of the rev, than just port the dam thing and use a standard gc pad, also, is re5 actually confirmed for the system?

 

the "remote" slots into a shell to make it more like a normal controller

^like that, IGN made that, but its based on what nintendo told them about the "shell"

 

This might just be the final "nail in the coffin" for Nintendo, in my opinion. I've never liked any of their controllers (with the exception of the SNES), but it looks like they took this one too far.

 

i wonder if wou'll be able to plug two ''remote'' together as one controller so that you could use the ''remote'' motion sensor in both hands. could be cool for some kind of games, including music games.


To say the truth, at first, the first thing that came in my mind was ''WTF?''. But now that i've read what it does, read reviews of how it feels and how can it be used, i think it's incredibly cool. Really. I would have liked gyroscopes though...maybe in an attachement?

 

Nintendo has gone mad...

 

There are a ton of things that can be done with the controllers and the millions of possible attachments for them, but the problem is that no one (aside from Nintendo) is going to be bothered to use them. Games that require unique controllers or add-ons cost too much for "the masses" as far as game companies seem to be concerned and just have not done well. Having said that, I pray that someone will take the initiative to do a simple gun shell for the remote (just slide it in like you are cocking the gun).

 

Well since it's not an add-on and it'll be standard with the system, I'd wager developers will bother to program for it kind of like how they program for the DS touchscreen. At any rate, me thinkst a new Die by the Sword would be killer for this system.

 

i also thought that the DS's touch screen, And microphone wouldn't be used by 3rd parties, but i was wrong. So, i'm pretty sure we'll see alot of efforts from 3rd-p developers.

EA sports tittles will attract alot of people to the revo, i'm pretty sure.
