not sure what I think of the look, but damned if that isn't good news

It looks weird but I think it will be cool. But it looks better than the PS3 control

crazy thing is that theres gonna be so many expensive addons, some are already in the works according to the article.

I can see hard handling with this thing in game. =/ Thats just me.

GameSpot has some clear images of the controller.

with all of these wireless controllers, like the remote controll, there will be a new most lost item in households, the game controller.

i think it'll turn a few developers away because of the costs of making new addon controllers

but then it'll lure some back with the custimization left to the game makers

True, but for PS3 and the 360 developers have to work with overly-complicated hardware that makes development a nightmare and turns them away more than anything. Nintendo has specifically said they are catering to indie developers and developers in general by making the process easy and inexpensive.

I am REALLY excited about the possibilities that the Revolution controller can bring. Can't wait to see some real games running.

1up claims there was a techdemo in which they used the rev controller on a retrofitted metroid prime 2

they complained that their arms got tired quickly

but hey, we're gamers not weight lifters..

Well, that’s... different. But I like how Nintendo tries to do different things, unlike another company.

i have no clue how ur gonna use that but im sure it will work somehow

I like how it looks just like a DVD remote.

And there are much better pictures of it than that on IGN's page now.

Stupid idea. Pathetic.

I think it's definatly be intriguing and unique.

I can't wait to test it out

Also turn it sidewards AND YOU GET A CONTROLLER PAD LIKE YE OLD NES!

yeah, how would you play an FPS?

on a computer maybe lol... no but seriously they need to release a regular controller, thats retarded, pretty, but retarded.

I wonder if it will change channels and allow me to change the color tone on my television set.

you guys arn't think well, how are you gonna make an innovative game with a standard contoller?
also Nintendo might realse a 'normal' controller.. who knows..

anyway, i think we need a new design in controllers, as the current lot are old and boring.. also limit how innovate a game can be

But if nothing is wrong with it then why fix it? Yes I know that Nintendos strong defense against Microsoft and Sony has been innovation and revolutionizing the way we play games, but in my opinion I see nintendo making a bold but very risky move, they are playing entrepreneurs in a business where too many slip-ups could be disastrous.

Wasn't it around for years with 3d vr helmets?

Like VGCats said...looks like a sex toy.

I played doom on a similar thing in 1995, using a "vr helmet" too

old idea..
