HAHA stevey....your so wierd

I knew it! I knew it would split into two...It made too much F**King sense.

I don't like it either though. How the hell is it soppose to be backwards compatible? Just cause I own a GC, doesn't mean I should have to use my controllers.

Also, like I said before....there's BARELY ANY functionality in a simplistic controller. This is a simplistic controller, therefore has barely any functionality. No ports for the REV i guess....

"Everyone agreed a Samba de Amigo would be perfect as well, to which Miyamoto-san confirmed, "Mr. Naka [at Sega] really likes this controller." What if you could use two controllers at once for Fight Night or a new Punch Out?"

hehe. This would be sweet.

I think this is good for Nintendo. They are competing by differentiating their product from their competitors. I mean that's what bores me about say the 360 is that it's the exact same thing but better graphics.

Nintendo is who they are because they take chances. OR at least that's what I'm liking about them lately. They aren't afraid to fail.

btw, imagine a game from PLayboy where the remote is shaped like a cucumber and you have to pleasure various playboy centerfolds from the last couple of decades. The possibilities are endless.

I for one was extremely saddened at first (thinking Ninty had truly lost its mind), but the more I thought about it, the more I liked it. And now I really like it.

Are you serious? This opens up seamless gameplay...you're in the game!

Also...

Remember how you felt when you played Mario 64 for the first time?

Now think about how you felt when you played Luigi's Mansion or Monkey Ball? Not quite the same right?

Now imagine that same feeling carrying through if Nintendo was release the PS3....

Now think how you'll feel when you play what Nintendo is actually releasing...

I'm excited.

This is reminding me of the DS all over again in that you'll probably never truly understand it until you've actually experienced it for yourself. Judging by what I've heard about it, the controller seems like if handled correctly this could change the way we view a lot of games, not to mention give the gamer much more personal involvement with whatever is happening ingame. At the same time, we may unfortunately just figure out how lazy some of our neighborhood friendly game developers actually are. Nontheless, I'm taking an optimistic stance on this if for no other reason than the idea that we're really looking at something that coupled with the graphics could really bring about a true next generation. To that, I'm raising a glass into the air.

btw, I use rechargeable batteries in my wavebird and it works fine.

"No, saying you won't buy the Revolution because of an image is idiotic... "

Not to me, the controller is more important to me than the processor power or graphics. I was simply saying, based on the information so far, I don't want to control games this way. It has just about completely soured me on getting a Rev. I don't want a hundred different attatchments when one complete controller is better.

Nintendo was unwilling to comment on what the "Home" button does, but it's likely a place to manage classic games you've downloaded, online games, and hopefully much more.

Perhaps I'm way off, but I assume the Home button is used to recalibrate the controller so the sensor knows where the neutral position is. Otherwise if you start playing a game sitting in one position and then you want to move to another, it won't be able to tell where you want to move.

trip1eX · « **Reply #409 on:** September 15, 2005, 06:52:17 PM »

another point. Television remote controls should have this technology. And also will this thing turn off my tv too?

If you think one complete(ly the same) controller is better than something that is different... you are boring. Buy an X-box 360 and stop talking to me. =P

I notice some people talking about retooling controls for certain games.

NO ONE IS GOING TO RETOOL SH!T. Nintendo isn't the market leader. No one will go to that effort for them. If a game doesn't work as is on this controller it's just not going to be ported.

I imagine Nintendo will freely give developers the necessary software that will turn the second analog stick's funtion into the gyro. If they do that, there won't be a lot of retooling needed to be done. It will already be completed. Of course, I'm sure third parties will have to optimize the code for each specific game, but it won't be a big deal.

Read that, THEN formulate an opinion.

I think it sounds amazing. And as far as third parties go, if they choose not to improve their games and innovate, then that's going to be the price. This doesn't seem a gimmick, it seems an improvement. I don't think I'll want to go back to being outside the game if they make this work.

Hey guys, check this photoshop that came from one of the guys on the PA boards. ^^

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #414 on:** September 15, 2005, 06:59:51 PM »

On the negative side, it does seem off-putting when you first look at it. I imagine pretty much anybody's first reaction will be "an ipod remote controller?"

On the positive side, I can easily imagine their next reaction being "how the hell does that work for games?" followed by "let me try!"...

That's the stage I'm at right now, I need to try it myself to get any sort of opinion.

Pale · « **Reply #415 on:** September 15, 2005, 07:01:26 PM »

And another photoshop done by the posters over there... to illustrate what Bill and I were saying earlier... (a little bit nicer than Bill's

)

Alright, goodnight people. It was entertaining and I hope to see video tomorrow morning. I'll post more thoughts from work.

BiLdItUp1 · « **Reply #417 on:** September 15, 2005, 07:04:07 PM »

Wow. Honestly, I thought I was gonna take a break from gaming for a while, owing to the fact that new games bore me - this has definately gotten me intrigued. I hope the public will embrace it. I haven't been excited about games for too long...

mjbd · « **Reply #418 on:** September 15, 2005, 07:04:23 PM »

This is the kind of step I was hoping for. This is what it takes to make a real revolution in the gaming industry. Keep in mind that Nintendo is more concerned with new creative software, than if 3rd parties can port over a game easily. The idea here is that developer will want to make unique game on Rev. Even when Madden comes out on all systems, Rev's is going to play dramatically differant. Its hard for me to imagine what developers are going to do, but I am very excited. For me, this is a great day to be a Nintendo fan.

BigJim · « **Reply #419 on:** September 15, 2005, 07:04:25 PM »

Well the jury is still out with me on this, but I will say that this forces fairly unique games on the system. And unique (exclusive) games sell systems.

The question is, will developers accept it or shun it?

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #420 on:** September 15, 2005, 07:05:00 PM »

Holy crap that photoshop is so much better than mine...I am emotionally destroyed...

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #421 on:** September 15, 2005, 07:06:01 PM »

It doesn't force anything.

Arbok · « **Reply #422 on:** September 15, 2005, 07:06:05 PM »

If there isn't a Star Wars game released that lets me swing a lightsaber, so help me god...

Either way I'm excited. I just hope that using the GCN controller as a subsitute isn't ruled out, as I feel the two could work well together. You could always have the GCN controller plugged in too, so it wouldn't be a pain to switch to it and play a game that might have been made for it.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #423 on:** September 15, 2005, 07:06:12 PM »

Oh, and BigJim, the list of devs that have said great things about the controller is

~EA
~THQ
~Activision
~Ubisoft
~Square-Enix
~Konami
~Sega

I wouldn't be too worried...
