Of course they say it has secrets. They don't want to let the hype die down amongst Nintendo fans. It's probably the shell that makes it like a traditional controller though. Either that, or that extra controllers will cost $30 or less. That would be nice.

Well, since they sorta, y'know, already revealed that, I'm kind of doubting that's the secret.

The reason people assume the shell is the secret is that a number of gaming publications reported it as a "rumored" attachment. Apparently reporters either can't remember anything unless someone shows them a picture of it or didn't even listen to Iwata's TGS speech.

I'm pretty confident Nintendo will add an actual microphone to the already somewhat microphone shaped controller. Besides, it will be necessary for the Nintendogs of the next generation.

i always wanted pokemon with use of a mike

The "other secret" is that the controller has a voice recognition chip, well I really don't know but that's what I thought anyway.

I think that the mic should just be a big ball that you put on the end of the controller. That way you can turn it upside down and enjoy some Karaoke Revolution Rev.

the controller can be switched onto auto-vibrate for the ladies

It works as a garage door opener.

Someone on Slashdot said it doubles as a Fleshlight (don't google that at work!).

If it was a mic why would they keep it a secret?

Nintendo likes to keep secrets from us.

A MIC makes the most sense. Nintendo and others are already working on stuff using it for the DS and adding it to Rev increases its worth on the DS and Rev.

Ugh, it's not a freaking mic...

stevey · « **Reply #41 on:** December 04, 2005, 07:37:15 AM »

Nintendo said that there are going to use the mario party 6/7/8(don't know which one) mic for the rev

The controller can interact with R.O.B. the robot to TAKE OVER ZE WURLD!!!

Nintendo (Iwata, I think it was) shrugged off a mike when questioned about it. He didn't say they wouldn't include one, but he did note that including a mike wouldn't be any big deal/secret/revolutionary feature.

Oh, and curse this split discussion. As I said in the other thread, I think there's a good possibiliuty that one of the hidden features of the controller will be the ability to download games to it, and the ability to plug it directly into a tv to play.

trip1eX · « **Reply #44 on:** December 04, 2005, 01:58:35 PM »

You aren't going to plug the controller into a tv either. What's the point of that? The controller is already wireless.

They have talked about not using a tv. Maybe they'll have some kind of virtual goggles like the virtual boy.

After all it's something they've worked on before. 10 years later or so the tech should be better.

Iremember a comment about how the Revolution is more like a handheld.

Oh yeah it's not a mic. That's really not something new. Nothing to keep secret there.

It's going to be along the lines of the touchscreen feature on the DS. Something new and innovative for videogames.

whatever it is I dont think it will be as big as what they revealed about the controller at TGS.

Nile Boogie · « **Reply #46 on:** December 04, 2005, 05:33:52 PM »

Do you think that in a first person shooter, using the NRC, a developer would bother to show the weapon on the screen if you're actually holding it? What do you think is better, the character on screen mimicking your actions or you actions dictating what goes on around you. Do you really need to see Samus's Arm Canon on screen if it's in your hands?

ThePerm · « **Reply #47 on:** December 04, 2005, 07:47:32 PM »

err..id like both..and the option to turn it off

RABicle · « **Reply #48 on:** December 04, 2005, 10:53:15 PM »

Why would you need to see your gun in an FPS? uh because that way you'll know what weapon you're using perhaps? If it's all about immersion these days, we need to see the things we would see in real life.

couchmonkey · « **Reply #49 on:** December 05, 2005, 04:22:51 AM »

The controller can tell if you're behind something, hence, "cover".
