It looks strange at first, but once you think about it, it looks quite nice for playing games...

It's... interesting.  Time shall tell if this is actually a real revolution or just another gimmick, but it does look intriguing.  Looking at the video makes Zelda look a lot more fun now.  Oh, and baseball games might be tons better.  But I'm still skeptical if this will lure in 3rd party support...

More than likely, it'll push away third party developers.  It means they'll have to do some extra programming.  So unfortunately, Nintendo is screwing up again.

[snapback]233043[/snapback]

I can actually see how they'd attract third party developers. This is a much easier product to develop games for than, say, the DS, where they were REALLY limited. But this controller will probably work with, as Alex said, baseball games, any game that would use a sword for combat, and especially FPS games.

I'm really excited now. I'll tell you what, Nintendo hasn't announced any games, shown any screens, or even really delved into what their online campaign will be like, and they have my attention moreso than Sony or Xbox.

This also just occured to me - you know point-and-click games like "Grim Fandango" and "Sam & Max"? Those never really worked well, but they'll be entirely possible on the Revolution. Awesome.

How will you play the new "Smash Bros."? That's mainly why I'm buying this baby. :X

I'm interested in seeing a drum/guitar game using it, personally...

Here's my one concern.

What if our hands get sweaty and the controller flies out of our hand during, say, a fishing simulator or a game that calls for you to swing the controller in some way?

I guess MadKatz will be there for us come launch time with a strap.

[snapback]233100[/snapback]

Have they even announced the price yet?

Anyway, I'm slowly becoming more intrigued by this, as there could be loads of possibilities with this.  Just up to the developers to make these possibilities into reality.  Although I don't get why they would make it look exactly like a remote...
Title: Nintendo Revolution controller revealed!
Post by: Jackie-Boy on September 16, 2005, 03:53:40 pm
The price is apparently supposed to be much cheaper than the PS3 or the 360.

No, but I know itll be a bit too expensive for me. So if its 200, I'll wait til its 150.

Ahh, I've been thinking of all the possibilities for games, and it's going to be so great.

I like what someone posted on IGN a lot; Mario Paint Revolution.

I cant wait for it to come out! it will be soooooooooooo much more fun to do party games.

Hey! They could make a nintendogs for the nintendo revolution! But instead of the stylus, you use the controller!
Title: Nintendo Revolution controller revealed!
Post by: IceFox on September 16, 2005, 07:23:05 pm
Actually, with this controller, I can easily see a Mario Paint sequal.
Title: Nintendo Revolution controller revealed!
Post by: Roger on September 16, 2005, 07:23:45 pm
Hmm.  I'm becoming more intrigued by the controller.  I was talking about maybe not buying a Revolution, and going for the PS3.  

I think I'll break my tradition, and wait to see which system is getting the best support before I decide on what I'm getting.

Psp Was better to DS to me. But Nintendo will destory the 360 (And by this I mean the gamecube only). And be slighty better than PS3 (I mean Revolution for this) IMO.

You know what I like? All the naysayers are saying things like "...looks stupid to me," and moving on. These are the people who don't understand it, so they don't like it. Oh dear, it's so new, and so different, let's be afraid of it! Don't buy it or it might bite off your feet while you sleep!

Apparently this is a mock up for the add on controller, for the "classic" games that won't utilize the regular Revolution controller, and will also apparently utilize the best of both worlds, with your normal controller layout while still using the Rev controller.

It's cool and everything, but I don't like how it looks like a remote.. and the button placement. How are you supposed to reach the A and B buttons while you're doing the d-pad? I know with two hands, but some article said you only hafta hold it with one. And yes, I've seen the trailer.. but yeah, I don't like it much, but I'm still getting the Revolution, for sure.

The A and B buttons at the bottom aren't used in regular gaming, they're used for when you flip the controller over to play old-school games.

The remote is used as remote.
The a and b buttons are only used for old school games.
The muenster cheese tastes good.

The rest can be figured out by watching the video of someone using it....but i don't know where it is :P

And it is confirmed that "Reveloution" is not the name of the system. Apprently they already have a name but will not reveal it for a few months. I hope its not  crap name like the wi-fi network name they came up with(Nintendo Wi-Fi Network)

I don't think that many people realize that.

AHH I CAN"T FIND IT!

there's a pic of the official nintendo racing wheel, where it's just a plastic U and the 'remote' part plugs into the middle

Figuring that the remote does 3d motion, possibly you would be able to use the wheel for flight games. I can imagine crimson skies being incredible on this system.

some1 pls find the pic of the wheel :P

Nintendo has done something innovative with that controller, but what are the chances of a lot of third party developers actually making their games playable with a controller that is that much different?  Extremely low I'd say.  

Nintendo finally stopped using prorietary formats to hold their games, and now they're using a controller that just doesn't relate to the rest, and I think it's going to be their downfall.  They at least need to put out a normal controller AND that controller.
Title: Nintendo Revolution controller revealed!
Post by: VulturEMaN on October 21, 2005, 12:16:49 pm
don't worry kids.

they have a convertor on the way. you just plug the remote part into the middle of a wavebird-looking controller and it changes it back.
