Nintendo Revolution controller revealed!

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.

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

That looks awesome!  That's much better than the PS3 and X-Box 360, even if we do have to wait longer.

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.

Holy frazzlepops! That thing is awesome! And the commercial makes it obvious that Japan has way better commercials and way better commercial making skills than anyone.
But Im still waiting for the price to go down alittle bit...

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...

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.
