NINTENDO's NEW CONSOLE
well the nintendo company has always been my favorite but now that xbox and playstation have been boosting up gaming sales, well from my opinion i dont know the true statistics, and i saw a rumor on the upcoming console for nintendo. its nuts all these new consoles. well i love nintendo and they have a change to BLOW everyone away because everyone is coming up with new consoles but there is a rumor for the new Nintendo console called "Nintendo Revolution." They have a chance to beat xbox and playstation and i hope they do cause nintendo is an all time favorite.

so has anyone heard anything else on nintendo revolution.???? this is where i found the rumor >>> click

speculations is that the Nintendo revolution is going to be unique in a way were the game is viewed in 3d and they had the first hearings of it at a panel. i dont know what they mean 3d but they said the controllers will mostlikely be all wireless and support a pda type touch screen.

this sounds juicy but these are all speculations.
i dont know but there is just so many things they can do now.

nintendo probably will, because seasoned gmaers will prefer having the buttons and stuff.

But the whole point of the remote is to make games based on its functionality.

Having the buttons and the shell constantly in use wont utilize the remote functions at all.

The cradle isnt for all games, its more for the downloaded games and whatever other games use them.

I think they'd lose a lot of gamers if they didn't have a traditional controller.

Thats not the point. They WILL make a controller style shell for the remote.

The point is that the games are going to be made for the remote, and if they make all the games for the controller instead, that takes away credibility from Nintendo, for they make this revolutionary remote and then turn around and dont use it.

The point of the remote is to create new ideas, and breathe fresh air into gaming. All that gets trampled if they use the controller for most of the games.

Well, I guess part of being "revolutionary" is making something new that developers (and gamers) will take advantage of. To me, this controller seems to be a good idea conceptually, but I don't find it to be very practical. I know I'm not really interested in sitting in my living room and pointing a controller like a gun, or swinging it like a golf club or baseball bat, or anything else. It doesn't really seem geared towards the casual gamer.

I think its geared more towards casual gamers than anything.

Youre going to get the harcore console guys who are gonna talk about how they miss their controller and that they cant get used to the remote, evn though its a fairly simple idea, with almost a nil learning curve.

I think over all most people are psyched about the control, besides the few morons who talk in sentence fragments and numbers when they say, "t1s ug1y!!! t2h c0n+ro11er 1s s0 gh3y!" etc etc, but they hardly count, theyre all getting 360s anyway.

The cradle will probably be used for few games, mostly for the downloaded classics. And when it is used, most of the time it will combo the 3D pointing and the controller together. So youre still going to have to move around etc. If they really took most of the games and made them for the cradle use, theyd lose ALOT of credibility, like I said.

Developers are already jumping on this, with many of them speaking praise for the remote.

But it definitely requires a different mindset than using a traditional controller. I'm just saying that, speaking from the point of view of a casual gamer, I'm not interested in swinging some controller around to do stuff. I've been using a traditional controller since I was three, when the Nintendo was released, and I'm comfortable with that. I'm not interested enough in gaming to want to learn a new style of play, and I think that's the same for most casual gamers. I actually disagree with your statement: I think most hardcore gamers are heralding this controller, whereas most casual gamers are a) uninterested or b) don't like it.
