Revolution Controller

I must admit, it looks odd, but it looks SO COOL! And yes, the video is taken from the games festival in Japan and it is real.

I can't wait to fight Ganon with my new controller.

Meh... veering out of the thought process of "OMG, that controller sucks!" or "OMG, it's going to be the best!", there are still many things that Nintendo did with it that bother me (I don't mean the shape, and how to use it... though this is incredibly degrading as well) Sure, it's the "Revolution", but I think it's a bit early for it. They shouldn't have done something so drastic with the controller. When they start having problems and complaints about it, they're not going to have much of a choice as far as how to alter it (as they really can't without changing dynamics in the game). Regardless if you can plug other controllers in as well (as I've said, this was not a plus, but a requirement), the main Revolution controller is going to be the spectacle of what the Revolution is, not the other controllers. You have a strange and awkward controller, the whole console goes downhill in the eyes of many (such as XBox did to many people. Even though the controller was made smaller, many people were turned off by it). I'm also concerned about what kind of controllers they are going to use in the future. They've already pulled this baby out, unless they do something else that is amazing, they are going to be going 10 miles in the wrong direction. Anyway, I'm sure people are going to buy it anyway as it's going to be cheaper (I believe) and it's Nintendo.

I just found this article on IGN Cube.

It tells you about the controller and possible add-ons. I personally can't wait to try this out. Imagine what it'll do to swordfighting. And playing Metroid as it's described in that article would be heaven!

Sorry, but there's already a thread on the Revolution and its controller. :) It starts on this post:
