Nintendo revolution controller finally shown
 

http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3143782

Pretty friggin bizarre, looks like a remote control thats held with one hand, you plug attachments into the bottom and use them with the other hand. eek:

Might look akward but could be one of those things you have to use to form an opinion on, could end up feeling pretty natural.

wtf, thats terrible.

Well.. it is different. Instead of just bumping polygon count like xbox 360 and ps3 theyre going in a new direction with how you interact with the games. Could end up being pretty good i suppose.

its a freakin remote!! get a multifunction one at wally world and program it for the game...and save $30!

Thats revolutionary

What in the fuck is that?

To me i think Nintendo just shot themselves in the foot with that idea....

Xbox360 controller (hell even the PS3 controller) > revolution controller.

Kinda hard to compare them when nones used any of them. Actually hard to compare them at all seeing as the revolution controller is a totally different type of controller, may as well try to compare a steering wheel to a gamepad or a joystick or something.

wow this is going to suck now im going to lose that too in the couch

thats true. it is very different. but, this might actually be nintendo's big fuck up as far as controll pads go.

Its to bizzare for a controller gerv, its way to exotic, its like they tried to over do it. I hate remote controls as it is, the Xbox controller looks just like the original one, which was nice (the smaller version) not to mention even though the boomerang PS3 controller is ugly, it still looks just like the original.

It looks bizarre because nothing like this has been done before, people probably though the same thing when analogue controls came out and now theyre part and parcel of console gaming. To me it doesn't matter how it looks, how it feels is another thing. Xbox 360 and ps3 have nothing really new besides better graphics and more online bs we've had on pc's for years.

Im gonna wait till i try this controller to pass judgement but its got me interested at least. Turned on its side its a nes joypad, the console has ports for n64\gamecube pads. It could flop but theyre at least trying something new and innovating in some way. If its a success expect ms and sony to hop on the bandwagon in a few years time like always (analogue,rumblepack etc).

looks intresting

sucks

grandpas trying to turn on Murder She Wrote and instead hes fuckin owning n00bs BOOOM HEADSHOT

at least their thinking outside the box. eek:

yeah i dunno about it either ... reminds me of the goddamn old school 80s console ... cant think of the name, where you just had a pad like thing ... i think it would suck.

anyway, found these looking for that consoles name :

gerv: plzdie:

that pic above looks a lil better. i thought it was just that control.

P.S. nyck check ur inbox

I dunno. I think it'll be cool to "slash" the sword with the controller, but after 2 mins it'll get old and tiring. I don't want to be doing all of these fancy moves at 2am while I'm playing with my eyes half open.

I thought the pad was gonna be a lcd type thing where you could program the buttons where you would like...kinda like those touch screen universal remotes.

Only real problem i can see with the controller is it could limit the games that are possible to be made for the console. Then again im sure theve thought of that already. Would be good for fps games like most sites are saying, but how would football games and sports game be on it. eek:

If they are going to make the Joystick seperate from the Buttons and such they should make the chord between them longer so you can spread out more.

Intellivisions controller was the same thing and it owned. Also, people said the same shit about the XBox controller and its still around.

This thing will be akward and uncomforatble to use. Nintendo fails. They should use the NINTENDO ON!!!!!!!!!!!

Those are some of the most sexy hands i've ever seen...

Looks like something Apple would dream up. oOo: Looks strange, but I'll wait until I have held it in my urine-soaked hands before passing judgement.

Bingo.

Just because it's weird lookin' doesn't mean it's not functional. It might be the best controller evar.

Then again, my Spidey senses are telling me I'd rather an Atari joystick.

Nintendo have made a very odd move, moving away from the competition to create a new revolution of console gaming. I actually think it will draw ALOT of interest. They have done something different compared to having/ using a conventional controller. I'd imagine the pure interest of how this controller will work will force alot of gamers to buy the console. If correctly done I think it could be very successful upon its release.

My only fault so far is: It doesnt look very comfortable which for me at this stage is its only draw back. I'd have thought they'd have created something that you could actually wrap your hands around, maybe a handgunish shape. I'd imagine customers could have a sore hand after playing with it for 1hr+.

Even with this said, there is still a year + before the console is released anywhere, I'd imagine this device is still in its very early stages. Design can be changed later on.

The revolution also supports the gamecube controllers, and theres meant to be some kind of shell device you can put the new controller into so it can be used like a regular controller.

SNES controller > all

For next generation shit i liked the N64, PS1/PS2 and Xbox S controllers.

Now im happy the new Zelda is coming out for the Gamecube because im very stupid when using my left hand by itself...like if if it holding the same object as my right hand im fine...but if it is a completly different object in my left handim an idiot.

biggrin:

this could change fps gaming alot.

i suppose its hard to comprehend due to the amount of buttons you would have with a normal 2 handed controller. interesting id say but id think it would be hard to play the likes of goldeneye or whatever else on it unless its a game like mario.

looks like it could double as a combination vibrating butt plug/clit blaster
...well done to everybody involved! rock:
