Revolution Controller Revealed

[Craig]

Well in the controller battle, the Gamecube controller has always been my fav out of all the nintendo ones. If they were to somehow combine the gamecube and N64 (with the z button trigger) it would godlike. N64 is good but the c buttons piss me off and the fact that you can't use the d-pad and analog at the same time.

In defense of the Xbox - the Controller D is huge. The Controller S is great. The 360 controller is even better.

Maybe revolution will also work with gamecube controllers for games like super smash bros revolution and what not.

Hell the revolution controller looks great if it has that motion sensor thing. You want to jump? Just jerk the controller up. Fishing games would be great, reeling it in with your little remote.

Only time will tell.

Gee, at least it might have a normal controler thing to slide it in the top, because I have no sliver of an idea how to play a SSBM game with that thing. But they hooked it up to work with Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and the testers said it worked out well. That nunchuck thing seems like it'll be more comfortable than the normal controls of the current.

The Revolution has 4 separate inputs for Gamecube controllers so that you can play those old games with the old controllers. They wouldn't be THAT mean, to make you adapt with the new controller, which probably has different buttons anyways. It has one input for both Gamecube/Revolution CDs, 4 inputs for the Revolution controllers (which look Revolutionary, expectedly), 4 inputs for the Gamecube controllers, and inputs for all the AC adapters and the A/V cables and all the required crap to play a video game system.

At least, I think so.

Hey guys, check this out:

Apparently, the device in your right hand is very sensitive; it reacts to your movements. This will be incorporated in the games. For instance, this site gives an example with the Zelda game coming out; you jab the controller forward, and Link swings his sword. Turn your wrist to the left, and the car you're driving turns left. It's that simple.

I like it. It's gonna be great, I think. Any other comments?

the link doesn't work. but yeah, the controller has wireless sensors and all that cool stuff.

i'm joining the Revolution the day it comes out (ahahahahahahahaha bad pun)

Best nintendo controller IMO has the control stick of the GC, the Z Trigger of the N64, the shoulder buttons of the SNES and the awesome start button on the NES

[i]i think its awesome that the controller is going to have sensor's like that, to let it follow your movements. i still don't see how something like that can help when you're trying to play something like SSB, get what i mean? how are you supposed to do all the things you could do on GC with such a controller?
