*cough*

Maybe.

lol feels like a joke but seriously what are they thinking. If your going to innovate at least innovate forwards

They're releasing a standard controller as well.

I think it'll be pretty awesome, finally something different .

Someone on another forum knocked this up, and has already claimed copyright :lol:
Is a genius idea.

Shows a lot of balls by nintendo going in this direction. Lets face it microsoft are trying to make their xbox 360 into a friggin multimedia pc whoring features on it that have been in pc gaming for years now, sony have their batarang controller and what both ms and sony have in common is their consoles are just more powerful so more polygons on the screen and thats it. If it was left to these 2 companies games would just look better every few years and that would be it.

Nintendo were the first to have a gamepad, first to have analogue controls and first to have a rumble feature. And of course ms and sony copy them because when it comes to innovating new stuff theyre both practucally clueless. Interacting with games the way this controller allows would make for some amazing gaming. People are just whining because its not what they expected, bottom line is NOONE here has tried the fucking thing yet, and beacuse its different its automatically gonna suck. :roll:

And the funny thing is nintendo has now grabbed all the attention with this new design, it is NOT something you can judge based on friggin pictures, untill you've tried it you've NO idea wtf its like because its never been done before.

And for the people that are obviously afriand of change and innovation, theres ports for plugging in gamecube controllers here.

It wasn't so much that they felt they were the future, and more that they were easier to use and harder to pirate. Then the GCN, with its smaller discs and backwards rotation (Harder to pirate).

Their attempts at piracy protection have been some of the worst moves in gaming. Right up there with "Gamers don't want online" and "We don't need to worry about Microsoft."

And you're automatically praising it because it will be amazing. You've tried it, then?

And yes, every move the Nintendo folks have done has been brilliant. Their decision not to adopt online, which in turn cost them games. Their decision to fight piracy through carts then mini discs. The new Gameboy Micro. A controller that does preclude the majority of multi-platform games. Oh look. If we want to USE the backwards compatability, we have to buy a different controller. Hope that's the ONLY other shoe to drop. The amazing support they've given the DS.

But yeah. It's just because it's different.

man alive it looks like a freakin remote control.

the second one looks better but man I dunno.

There's revolutionising, and then there's going so far out of your way to stand out/be different that you end up with something that is worse than you already have.

Remains to be seen which this will be.

Maybe by the time it comes out someone will have invented a message board where you can enter messages by waving your fingers around in a typing motion, and TPWW will have been upgraded and your prediction will be lost.

What a shame that would be :(

Because it IS a remote control.

Nintendo didn't do this to be revolutionary, they did it to be "cheap." Cost effectiveness is one of their big things, so that they don't get killed taking a hit on each system sold. Once they add a tilt censor, "ZOMG! ITS REVOLUTIONARY!"

Now say I'm jerking off with one hand and typing with the other. Will this affect what shows up on the screen?

We will see. ;)

I doubt it would really stand out all that much right here at TPWW.

Where are all the buttons?

And how would one reach them.

You have to have stretchy thumbs, like Mr. Fantastic.

It seems that you would have to hold the controller two-handed cock style.

With that much effort, I would rather implant buttons and a directional pad on my cock.

The buttons are on the bottom and back. A and B and 2 big buttons. You move it around to controller the motion after you set up sensors around the TV. So basically, the people who jerk the controller around when they get into the game are going to have a huge advantage over the people who are calm and steady.

I loved how they said it's perfect for FPS games when we all know that Nintendo's library is based mostly on FPS.

Not to mention how hard it will be to get a headshot when you're aiming with the controller.

Kalyx triaD, the pics are on the front page of ign.com; there's like the full coverage there. So it's pretty much official.

Im praising it because they have the balls to try something different, as i said in my first post if it were left up to sony and ms we'd have nothing but updated graphics every few years and practically nothing else new in terms of how the games are played. Im waiting to see how it turns out, but from what ive read at least it does seem to be a good idea.

The controller comes with a shell device which you cna encase it in to make it more like a regular controller, then you have the option of gamecube controllers as well. For all we know the system will come with a gamecube controller packed as well, nothings been announced on what the retail package will include.

Not to mention the Nintendo.com link.

They have no idea what the fuck they're doing. All you gotta do is look at the pictures and then compare them to old remotes. Now, when the joystick is being used by one hand, the other holds the remote...and it's pretty fuckin ridiculous cause since the inauguration of time, you've always needed access to several buttons while playing with the joystick...and making the remote vertical is even worse. i mean how in the shit are you suppsoed to reach the buttons when youre doing something fast. Say for instance, when you jump and kick in mid-air. You need easy access to two buttons to do that...and this remote does not give you that.

It just won't work. Stupidest fuckin creation ever.

They say that about the DS too. Unfortunately, for FPS fans, there's like one out at 2 planned or summat.

Switching from the analogue stick to the A+B was bad enough, but now you'll probably have to wiggle the remote...I mean controller...

:wtf:?

Even over the invention of spray on hair, cloned pets, and techno?

Nintendo? Go for shock value? Never!

They're trying to milk innovation naow, in the easiest ways possible. The problem is, they're no longer the guys they once were, who were 100% behind their products.
