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.

Wow, this turned into a novel.

I think the whole point is, if you never take chances, if you never make changes, you can't ever grow. Someone once said, "WTF is a joystick?" "Wheres my turny knobby thing?" Someone once said, "Why do we have these buttons on top of the controller?" Someone once said "HOLY CRAP MY CONTROLLER JUST MOVED!" Why? Because things change, especially controllers. In the history of console gaming nothing has changed more than controllers. Shapes, sizes, comforts, buttons, layouts, etc. Through these changes our gaming experience becomes better, more immersive, deeper, and different.

Nintendo is being different. Theyre taking a chance. Some people are gonna love it, some people wont, and such is an inevitability of change. But without change gaming cannot grow, and without the Revolution, gaming cannot grow. We've seen PS3 and X360 stick to their tired old guns, and they probably will until PS9 is finally released and we're all breathing in Playspores. Meanwhile Nintendo is throwing the old blue print out and drawing out something new. Maybe it will be a huge success, maybe itll be mediocre, and maybe it will bomb like Hiroshima, but either of ways, it will be a milestone, and a turning point in gaming. Hence the code name.

At any rate, if this bombs, the Gameboy will sell more than the PS3 anyway. Haha.

EDIT: Kryo, whatever happened to the name that game contest???
