This technology isn't exactly "revolutionary" there were
console steering wheels for the megadrive like this almost
10 years ago.

I'll reserve final judgment till I've played on one, but I'm
disappointed with Nintendo, it looks like I'll be getting a
PS3 instead.

The video/commercial is totally unappealing and beyond
dorky. They're doing uniteresting things I never even wanted
to do. But that's OK, it's not the problem, I'm sure the end
result won't be so zany... we'll be playing traditional
games with this in familiar ways.

If the next Zelda remains formulaic and childishly easy or
the next Mario is as generic and bland artistically as
Sunshine, this interface won't matter. Game design is their
problem, their art is suffering. So whatever. Just deliver
the fucking games. I don't care about the interface. I think
it'll work, they know what they're doing. It seems hard to
fathom playing a sports or fighting game with that, but
hopefully the people at Nintendo that are being paid the big
bucks are more imaginative than the people criticizing the
controller design.

it could work, but if it doesnt that sucks : (
also, even if it does works, a whole console with hundreds
games?
we might just end up with all these mario party type games
and CRAP
gamecube had mario sunshine (still havent played properly)
but they also got like 7 mario partys, and mario tennis, and
that donkey kong game with the drums (but no donkey kong)
WTF?!!

but then again, twilight princess... : )

That's my problem with the system, this isn't your usual
tacky 'novelty' game where you buy some odd peripheral, a la
eye toy, DDR, etc. it's the basis of the whole system. I
can't see many ports of fighting/driving games working well
on it...

l'm still playing out the old N64 and it suits me seeing as
games like NBA and FIFA 98: Road to World Cup
can just be played over and over again.

It's a playstation world I'm afraid fellas, thats the honest
truth. Nintendo days are over.

slinks off back to his burrow to play FIFA

We haven't seen the games yet, and you're declaring loss on
Nintendo's behalf already! God, I thought you couldn't
become an even bigger faggot than you already were in the
first place.

Anyway, I'm not buying this console for multiconsole games,
because I'll have the 360 for that. It looks like it'll take
interactivity with games to a new level, and I love my
Nintendo DS for just that. I'm still curious about what
games they're developing for it, but I know that they showed
off a Metroid Echoes adaption for the Revolution behind
closed doors. GC games will be fully compatible with this,
but you'll need a GC controller (there are 4 GC controller
ports on the Revolution for this). Third party support seems
pretty good already, and I'm really curious to find out what
they'll think up for this bizarre controller.

Also, I'm surprised tridenti hasn't posted yet.

I like the actual look of it all apart from; why does the
control have 2 a and b buttons?!

I think this is a gamble; it seems very eastern culture
oriented - like those dance mat games (although girls over
here love that) so Im not sure it'll be enough. Give me
solid snake and prov evo on the ps3 please..

I heard it was backwards compatible to the NES via internet
downloads or something - may have been a rumor?

READ MY POST

Also, it will play NES/SNES/N64 games that you can download
by connecting your Revolution to the internet. Dunno if you
have to pay. Dunno if they'll put up Gameboy games.

there is always room for being more of a faggot than you
are already


may I draw your attention to the fact that I was in the 2005
Faggot Hunting team which competed in Wessex and came
runners up. I collected a brilliant couple of faggots and
don't consider them to be diminiture to my stature in
anyway. Therefore you must not accept this as an apology of
sorts but rather an exhibition of the type of character that
has shone through much of our society and is a microcosm of
the times. You Stoat!

I don't think that's such a good idea, the GC button layout
isn't so great for SNES and N64 games, surely? They need to
have something more akin to the N64 controller, but with two
analogue sticks.

I think it's suitable (with the exception of the position of
the Z-trigger), but yeah, it definitely won't feel as
comfortable.

Maybe they'll release some cheap clones.

The whole thing does. The remote/controller has square edges
for goods sake. How can you hold something like that for
ages without your hand starting to ache? It needs to be more
rounded.

For Woofer:
Il controller del Revolution è una sorta di telecomando per
televisori, da usare con una singola mano. Il controllo
avverrà muovendo fisicamente il PAD, grazie ad un chip nel
controller e ad uno speciale sensore da applicare sulla TV.
Ad esempio possiamo estrarre la nostra spada, facendo
l'apposito gesto con la mano, possiamo puntare sul
televisore e sparare per colpire esattamente dove volevamo,
oppure girargi per invertire la marcia della nostra auto.
Il pad ha uno slot nella parte inferiore per future
espansioni. Attualmente è previsto uno stick analogico e
due grilletti Z2 e Z1.
Il pad sembra completabile con espansioni che potrebbero
renderlo adatto a ogni tipo di gioco.
Il controller presenta una croce direzionale, un grande
bottone A, un grilletto B per il dito indice sul retro, e un
bottone per accendere e spegnere la console senza doversi
alzare.
Continuiamo Start, Select e un misterioso tasto "Home" ed
infine sul fondo del controller, due tasti: A e B. Girando
il controller di 90° sembra di rivedere il vecchio pad del
NES: D Pad sulla sinistra e i due A e B sulla destra. Il
design mostrato non è definitivo ma molto vicino a quello
finale. Nintendo ha comunque dichiarato che prima della
produzione, la forma dei tasti e i loro nomi, potrebbero
cambiare.
Questa versione mostrata del controller, è alimentata a
batteria, ma è probabile che quella finale venga
equipaggiata di una speciale unità ricaricabile.
La raggio di azione del controller è di circa 10-15 piedi,
le funzioni rumble sono implementate al suo interno, e sarà
commercializzato in vari colori: bianco, verde limone,
grigio, argento, ecc.
Per mostrare il funzionamento del controller, Miyamoto in
persona ha chiamato alcuni membri selezionati della stampa e
li ha fatti giocare con alcune tech demo pensate
appositamente per il controller del Revolution. Non erano
giochi pensati per la console, ma semplicissimi dimostrativi
per il controller.
Ma come mai questo pad così atipico? Perchè Nintendo
voleva, secondo Miyamoto.....

..... raggiungere un nuovo tipo di pubblico, semplificare le
cose e renderle intuitive anche per chi non ha mai giocato.
Il tutto senza scordarsi dei fan Nintendo: il controller
funziona infatti perfettamente con i più tradizionali
generi di videogames, senza rinunciare a nulla.
Riepilogando, funzioni principali del controller
Revolution:

- Puntamento 3D. sensori di movimento interpretano movimenti
come su, giu, destra, sinistra, avanti e indietro.
- Tilt Sensitive. Il controller può essere ruotato o fatto
rotolare da lato a lato.
- I pulsanti inclusi prevedono un grilletto sul retro, vari
bottoni e un D Pad sul fronte.
- Multifunzione. Ha una porta di espansione che consente
l'utilizzo di differenti periferiche per questo controller.
L'unica espansione per ora annunciata e quella dello stick
analogico con due grilletti per la mano sinistra.
- Wireless. Totalmente wire-free. Si può accendere e
spegnere la console, e tutte le altre funzioni, comprese
quella di rumble, avvengono via wireless, senza fili.
- Funzione Rumble (vibrazione) inclusa.

it's cool to see them doing new things, but yeah well... i

to me. the whole reason (and i mean the ONLY reason) i
don't go fighting dragons in the first place is that i'm a
lazy bastard, now they're going to make me physically swing
a controller around for hours on end to play a video game?
