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.

i wont quote all of you sooo,

personally, i think nintendo made themselves more suseptible to be hated. the general audience is going to look at this and say "what the hell" and dismiss it as a dvd player with games. and its gonna be gamecube all over again. with only the nintendo faithful buying it. it just seems too much like a peripheral to me. I don't see how u can build a system and games around this. because they will have to make games catering to these controllers. when i talk about your hand being tired i mean hand and wrist fatigue. extend your arm with the remote in your hand towards the TV for a few hours and see how you'll feel. another thing is with the "slashing" and wrist and arm turning you'll be doing you cant be too far from the tv. and button option only seems limited to "A" during fast paced gameplay. and if im going to EVER be using a light gun it better resemble a GUN. just like real light guns in the past. Do you want all your fps's to be like Time crisis? where the computer moves for you? i dont. and with the sword flinging things, reflexes play a toll, so, if you have good reflexes and is pretty quick with this you will get bored, because they will slow down things for the masses. and how is this supposed to work with older games? i notice another flaw, different size hands will have different results gripping the controller. all in all, a good example of how regular controllers are better than this one is.....well, imagine playing a versus game against somebody with the rev controller and you have a regular controller....you would woop his ass. basically this seems like the power glove all over again. and nintendos gonna lose alot of potential buyers because of this , you cant get around that. it seems REALLY directed toward casual gamers,and i mean really casual, like grandmother casual. its almost arcade like. nintendo wanted to produce something that less intimidating to new coming gamers (though who would be intimidated besides 70 yr olds i dont know) they wanted to make something more familiar to them. but i think its a sacrafice. and a risk for real gamers to buy it. but there is one good thing! when you get pissed playing smash bros, you can strangle your friend.

AHhh that's what i need after a hard days work .To sit down to some jumping ,flailing,disco dancing gaming.A cool gimmick but a gimmick at that.
