We already know that the Revolution controller will have 1. a nunchuck-style analog stick with two Z buttons 2. a classic-style "shell" the freehand controller goes into. I've been thinking; what if some of these were peripherals?

-A steering wheel (possibly with grip-sensitivity)
-A lightgun-shaped shell with a trigger and other things of that sort
-A sword add-on
-A glove that you stick the controller onto and then box! (Or pet your dog on Nintendogs Revolution)

What do YOU think Nintendo and other companies can do with this?

BOOM is for BOOMSTIX!

Oh no.......those things look so stupid. They look like a DVD control thing, and I can't get those to work at all! I knew something like this was going to happen. The Gamecube one was so simple, and so easy, and now this. I'm sorry.......but I don't think this is a good thing.

Darn, I was hoping someone didn't post about this already...

Anyway, it looks pretty neat to me. But someone in a chatroom I'm in right now is complaining about it looking like a TV remote and having some buttons that look impossible to press.

How can you not get those things to work when you haven't even tried it? Most of the reviews have been positive. It took me 30 seconds to get an initial reaction and I gotta say I'm impressed. Nintendo was right when they promised to be different. I can't wait to try it out for myself.

The only downside seems to be no rechargeable battery like the SP/DS.

Kelso: Guys this is a game of Cat & Mouse between me & Hyde. I''m gonna make him admit he''s been going out with Jackie behind my back.
Fez: Guys, what happens in Cat & Mouse if the cat is retarded?

I just don't understand it. It hardly makes any sense to me.... *slumps*

I just think it's cool that Eclipsed Moon was the first one to post about it. ;D

EDIT: If you recall the Revolutionary Wars, then you'll see that some people were right in guessing that this generation of consoles would give birth to the two-piece controller . . .

What ever happened to the controller's touch screen?

This actually bears a tiny bit of resemblance to the Rev's control stick half.

Mostly EDIT and no bacon, or am I badly mistaken?

I'm worried that I won't be able to accurately/comfortably use the joystick peripheral - without a second hand to hold the controller in place, it seems like the joystick would be awkward to use. As for the main controller...it's definitely different, I'll give them that.

It's definitely not what I expected. And I'm thankful for that.

It looks quite interesting, and I can't wait to see how it works.

I'll reserve my judgement of it until I get my hands on it.

I don't know.. I'm with BlackMage: I'm not gonna be like "OH THIS IS CRAP STUPID STUPID IM STUPID BECAUSE I ASSUME CRAP RIGHT OFF THE BAT" but first impression is saying "eh, annoying at first millisecond glance, then you kinda see what's going on."

Can't wait for the Revo...

ED__it: Well... what I'm worried about is the right side. They're seperate so you can't reposition the right one (because of its length) well unless you make it "hop" back in your hand to get it situated, if you know what I mean.

Ok Nintendo, now, show us the games.

Eclipsed Moon · « **Reply #12 on:** September 15, 2005, 11:22:28 PM »

Well, you've seen the pictures, now watch the trailer!!!

Watoad · « **Reply #13 on:** September 16, 2005, 12:25:33 AM »

a. Those controllers look like a lot of fun to play with.
b. Stepping above the cinema trailer for Metroid Prime, that video is now my favorite Nintendo promotional clip.

That was, indeed, very good. Very good indeed.
