This information just came out more or less today. I figured I'd treat you faithful gaming Fyians. Here's what the Revolution's "controller" officially looks like. And here's a link for information on some of the stuff it can do: www.nintendo.com/newsarticle?articleid=Uuo6JoTDkBzpp3yLzpJSxvJrvmUZJ6El&page= My take on it? It's very... different. The pointer idea is truly brilliant. But I ask you... why in the WORLD must they go off and make it a freaking remote control?! I'm a gamer, not a TV-watching couch potato. Sure, gamers chill on the couch too, but there's a difference in that some games can give you an adreniline rush. And that's very important to me. I find it hard to get a surge holding a remote control. Thus, I view this with mixed feelings. I love the pointer idea. But I am loathe if they think I'm going to feel right at home playing games with a freaking remote. Let's all pray Nintendo somehow decides to stop goofing off and stop sucking so they can be properly awesome again. Don't hold your breath. [you know... I hate the PS3's unfinished controller design too. The next generation is making me jaded, and I haven't even played the things yet. I can just hope I'm wrong about them feeling unnatural...]

I don't like that design either, especially the way they have it so that you have to take your thumb off the D pad just to hit A! That's just stupid. At least they haven't finalized this design yet.
I saw an article about this on Gamestop...http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/09/15/news_6133335.html
They make it seem a little more positive, but if I don't like this new controller, I'm not even going to get a Revolution, which until now I was planning to get before PS3.

AHHHHH, THE EVIL IDIOTS WHO DESIGN FOR NINTENDO STRIKE AGAIN. god, thats worse than all the remake games they have. sad too. i mean, theres some good points to it. like how the analog isnt hooked directly to the controller. thats kinda cool.
and im most likely not to get ne new game systems for a long time. i still think they move too fast with making new systems.

Yeah, I'm dissapointed too. Of course, we can always hope we're all wrong and that it actually turns out good... Yeah, and I can always hope that I'm Shiguru Miyamoto.
Although JKrew, the A button and the pad thing shouldn't be a problem. I figure that moving around for most things will be the sensor, and that the pad will only be used for like menus and stuff. And for shooters, again, you would use the joystick plus the sensor, not the pad. So it shouldn't be that big a deal. You have a point about it being dumb regarding the distance between the pad and A buttons, tho...

If they're going to make that sensor system, it would be really cool if they made a controler like a gun. that would be so cool to hold a gun for a shooter instead of justseeing and aiming it on the screen!

They already have stuff like that. Have for a long time. But usually such games you can't control yourself walking around. They need to make it like what Revolution is doing with the joystick, minus the remote control crappiness.

Yeah, I knew about those. Opps, I forgot about moving your character around...
