Nintendo Revolutions Controller, Lets check it out.. Options

[EddieV]

The new Nintendo Revolution's Controller looks really interesting. Nintendo said they want to change the way we play video games. I think out of the three system, Nintendo to me looks the most promising. The X-Box 360 only has a few new features and slightly better graphics. But basically everything is the same. Here's a link to the Nintendo Revolution's new controller.

But what about the other game genre's ?

What about driving a car.
Shooting Zombies and people in RE5?
Jumping over obstacles in Mario.
Eating Eneimes in Pacman?

I know it has buttons. But still, I like have a good grip on my controller. and don't include that joystick add on thing, I think it looks werid.

But if IGN concept ideas come true, the idea of getting such as a light gun, and sticking in the controller. Then I might reconsider. But even then not all genres will be filled.

Also, you can already get this sort of game. You know those tyco games that you directly to your tv, with the bat, duck hunting gun or whatever. Like those TV games that are ment for 6 year olds.

Driving a Car: the controller senses tilt, turn the controller sideways and have a good ol time steering. Slap on a wheel and/or pedal function and youre good to go.

Shooting Zombies in RE5: THat one I dont know, other than turning the controller sideways.

Jumping over obstacles in mario: Well, buttons, but you could also tilt the controller back telling Mario to jump.

Eating Enemies in Pacman: Ive never played the newer 3d Pacman games, which is what Im assuming youre referring to, because in any case you just need the Dpad for the originals.

Ok.
But using the buttons. It's not exactly... as exciting or easy. You play it like you're holding a stick.

Also, I got a good one. FPS's. How are we gooing to play those. It's not light gun, so we can't use a lightgun. I don't see any solution for those. But thats if any good fps's come out for revolution. Actually, are there are on the Gamecube? I bet theres lot fo em. But none of them are coming to my head right now. I thought Geist was one.

Why wouldn't you use it as a light gun? Point it to where you want on the screen to aim and move with the Analog stick adaption. FPS sounds like one of the more laid out genres to figure out a use for. It's the Action/Adventure and Fighting genres I'm worried about. Example: Super Smash Brothers. I hope they know what they're going to do there.
