To turn it sideways, as the IGN article mentions?

Nile Boogie · « **Reply #351 on:** September 15, 2005, 06:21:28 PM »

I don't see how you can play Metriod Prime 3 with this but I'm rather curious to find out.

And I really don't think Sony or MS will be copying this any time soon.

I love it. So sexy next to my iMac.

iPod Nano Gamboy Micro, Revolution Controller ...

ShyGuy · « **Reply #352 on:** September 15, 2005, 06:21:35 PM »

This will be good for any mouse centric game. The Sims, Myst, Diablo, Civilization....

mantidor · « **Reply #353 on:** September 15, 2005, 06:22:07 PM »

Ian, for number 3. you turn the controller 90 degrees, honestly thats just brilliant.

kennyb27 · « **Reply #354 on:** September 15, 2005, 06:22:39 PM »

This is completly WTF. I honestly don't like it at all. I mean, I want to play Mario and Zelda and Pilotwings, and everything else with at least the same general idea. All I can say is that this may be the first time Nintendo has some serious convincing to do for me, at least, when it comes to selling me a console.

Not impressed at all.

I hate to be negative, really, I mean I've owned or played just about every Nintendo system ever. I was extremely hyped for the Revolution, hadn't even considered the other next-gen offerings, but this controller has pretty much destroyed any chance that I'll get the Revolution. I'm not saying it won't work for some crazy Rev. only games that are designed specifically for it, or even for NES games, but I don't want to control games with this thing.
It pains me greatly to be saying this as I am a Nintendo fan, and have been since the NES was first released, but it looks like I'll be going with 360.

You can turn the controller sideways and it's an NES controller.

With the Analog attachment, you have...

A/B, D-Pad, analog stick start/select, L1, L2, move controller left, move controller right, move controller down, move controller up, tilt controller left, tilt controller right, move controller forward, move controller backwards.

That's more than enough functions for any game.

IceCold · « **Reply #357 on:** September 15, 2005, 06:25:30 PM »

Probably Nintendo's other aim - scare away Sony & MS becasue it looks weird, but hopefully plays brilliantly.

But what happened to the Miyamoto blowout? All in one software controller etc

stevey · « **Reply #358 on:** September 15, 2005, 06:25:36 PM »

"I don't see how you can play Metriod Prime 3 with this but I'm rather curious to find out."

Dude, did you not read my post? They played Metroid Prime 2 with it...How could they NOT get MP3 working on it?

Not impressed at all.

Good for you, I'm glad you made your decision on it before you could try it for yourself...

Dirk Temporo · « **Reply #360 on:** September 15, 2005, 06:26:13 PM »

I just figured it out!

The D-Pad IS face buttons!

Pale · « **Reply #361 on:** September 15, 2005, 06:26:23 PM »

Edit: wow, super beaten.

Plus you can rotate the controller which I think is different than tilting it left or right. (ie rotate in a horizontal plane.)

This thing is loaded with functions.

BigJim · « **Reply #363 on:** September 15, 2005, 06:27:15 PM »

...but easy access to only 2 buttons at a time, no matter how it's held?

slacker · « **Reply #364 on:** September 15, 2005, 06:27:35 PM »

The best controller ever made for 3D games on a console. It really isn't that different from current controllers, other than it doesn't look like a traditional controller and has motion sensors. My main concern is the a and b button. Now, you can turn that thing horizontal to play nes games, but how about more traditional games like 3d fighing games, etc that require more buttons? I'm excited about the new controller's possibilities. This really is a revolution. Now, the games that uses motion sensors need to be responsive and fluid. If its not, it can spell disaster fast.

I'll be an optimist and say that this will make me want to play 3d games more than 2D ones because now the controls are more intuitive. I personally hated the 3D generation because of camera issues and control. So, with this setup, I expect 3D games to be more fun (especially fps games). This is promising. Pretty much if Nintendo wasn't showing something like this for revolution, I would have quit playing console games. I haven't play the cube or ps2 in months....

Galford · « **Reply #365 on:** September 15, 2005, 06:27:43 PM »

How exactly am I going to play Street Fighter or Samurai Showdown on Rev?

Are there any shots of gameplay demos on the web yet?

I wonder if Nintendo is trying to make this the next SNES?
The SNES was considered a system designed for RPGs.

I would say more but Ian has already posted 95% of my thoughts.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #366 on:** September 15, 2005, 06:27:53 PM »

Every single naysayer is now on my list of shame, which may later become my hit-list, so watch out.

kirby_killer_dedede · « **Reply #367 on:** September 15, 2005, 06:28:00 PM »

Guys...er...I don't see the complaints about the a and b buttons...it's obvious...

The bottom ones are meant for when you're holding it sideways with the d-pad.

The top ones are to be used in conjunction with the analog stick.

It looks intimidating at first glance, but break it down piece by piece...it's revolutionary.

EDIT: Any screens yet?

Pale · « **Reply #368 on:** September 15, 2005, 06:29:08 PM »

Heh... it cracks me up to read a post by someone saying they aren't gonna buy it based on pictures of the controller. You're an idiot.

Dirk Temporo · « **Reply #369 on:** September 15, 2005, 06:29:45 PM »

EVERYONE READ!

D-Pad=face buttons!

ThePerm · « **Reply #370 on:** September 15, 2005, 06:29:46 PM »

Quoted for truth...Seriously, basing it on pics and claiming it'll suck proves you aren't a Nintendo fan...Get out now, please...

ThePerm · « **Reply #372 on:** September 15, 2005, 06:31:35 PM »

they should add kidney buttons on the sides of the a..that way you have 8 buttons on the face

Thats great and all, but you can't say for instance hit up and down at the same time eith a cross shaped D-pad.

that little port on the bottom for additions really does intrigue me. Can anyone say controller port.

Pale · « **Reply #374 on:** September 15, 2005, 06:33:09 PM »

The concept of attachments is awesome, but I do super agree that a set of them need to be standardized.

We should see both the analog one shown and a generic button one packaged at launch...

All you fighter fans, listen to this...

See how the person is holding the stick in the left hand and controller in the right? Imagine a nice 4-6 face button adaptor designed for the right hand...

Now you have the main controllers d-pad in your left and the buttons in your right... perfect for fighters.

See... frigging sweet.
