I'm frankly not impressed, it looks complicated I've used 3d space mice and they ARE NOT GOOD for precision, but I'll reserve judgement until I use it. At least that explains how they are going to do NES games...

That looks very awkward to use.

[redsniper]

Wow. Looks like crap.

[Deepblue]

Is this the downfall of Nintendo? I hope not... *must convince self the controller is not awkward until I use it*

[MatthewPapa]

wtf is that?

thats it, now they must be trying to weird people people out

[Fenrir]

*Wonders how one is supposed to play a Smash Bros. game on that thing*

[neo_hermes]

very strange.

You guys haven't watched enough Japenese porn.

That's the classic design of a vibrator.

Past the initial thought of "UGGGH, that's not going to work at all" I notice a few things.

1) It can easily be swapped for left-/right-handed folk
2) The little thumbstick thingy appears to attach to the bottom of the buttoned thingy via a box. Expandable wireless controller, perhaps?
3) I wonder how frequent the 'broken cord' problem will come up on warranty/tech support hotlines.

This. Thing.  Will.  Kick.  Ass.

Seriously, just read this.  And this. And above all, watch the video.  The possibilities are really endless.  Picture this:  actually swinging your sword in the next Zelda game.  Or throwing a pass in a football game.  Or how about aiming in a FPS?  Seriously, this console is living up to its name.  It has the potential to completely change the way we play games.  I just hope they can pull it off. Screw Sony and Microsoft; I'm not even going to touch their overpowered, bloated "multimedia centers."  Twenty years of downloadable games...a crazy-ass yet totally awesome controller...free multiplayer...just amazing

turn it sideways and its the old school NES control

[Grey Wolf]

I honestly wish they switched the joystick for a PS-style one. The N64 ones tend to break.

I do have to say though that the controller has a lot of things going for it.

It's less restrictive in shape than a standard controller.
It's supposed to be a DVD remote too.
It's simple, no 22 buttons to remember (always a good thing about N gaming).
It would seem that it's more like a lightgun than a tilt sensitive mouse. The restrictive angle might be a bit of a limitation though.

Also remember that the Revolution has ports for GC pads and memory cards too if you're a more conservative gamer.

indeed.. it might be a bit TOO revolutionary, though

settle down, i meant that it's so radically different from the norm, that it might scare some people away, that and the fact that the cord joining the two would be a weak point, as i've seen in a couple of XBox controllers, the point where the cord enters each part of the controller may break internally over time.

that, and i prefer a singular controller that feels -Solid- in my hands.

Evidently I have cause that's the first thing I thought of when I saw it too

I must be the only one on this forum who doesn't watch Hentai or some form of Japanese pornography.
