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.

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.

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.

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).
