Smash Bros would be the first real fighting game ever. You would simply run up and throw any punch you want or swing a weapon exactly as you want. There could still be some buttons on the controller, but mostly you could program any "move" to be triggered by specific poses.
In Pikmin you would be able to reach into 3d and select with your fingers, virtually, which Pikmin you want, and then use the mic to tell them what to do.
I hope Nintendo gets some Blizzard games on the REV.
Yeah, but would actually fighting get tiring sometimes? I wouldn't be able to play for five hours at a time anymore!
And if you and your pikmin were walking along a narrow bridge, then how could you keep them in line? Plus, if you needed a specific color and in a hurry but those four yellow pikmin are waaay in the back then you'd have to go a reach for them but by then the electric buggy might have already gotten you. With the controller you can select exactly which one you want by holding A and pressing the D-pad.
I don't think it is healthy to sit and play any game for five hours. At least if you're moving around you'll get some exercise. Part of the point is to get gamers off their asses. Gaming has an image problem even today; it is seen as a sedintary activity.
And in Pikmin or any RTS your perspective is above the characters so that you have optimal access to the characters.
"On another note, "Super Mario Nation" seems to fit well with the "Revolution".... "
It does sound right, but they could just as easily go with the Marionette thing which also works as an online pun. Perhaps the word marionette is too big of a word though. I posted a topic on nintendo.com on this and the I LOVE HALO 2s over there; it went right over their heads. I gave the definition to the word and they still couldn't put it together.
"A fighting game like that would simply be fighitng"
With the controls used along with a camera, well the controls can become virtual. You can simulate some wild sci fi mechanics inside the game that we can't build. Imagine controlling the movement in a fps with your left arm as if you had a wireless flightstick device in your hand, but only in the game, and able to do more than any tilt and turn flight stick. If you wanted to make the character jump you could simply lift your arm verticle and it would measure the movement and translate it to full analog in the game. So much can be done with just one arm and not even considering the triggers or buttons they might put on the handles.
This makes me want to know what Nintenod is doing badly; I am in danger of actually being disappointed because this video has given me so many ideas for what could be done with technology now.
