And we thought Nintendo would let us down.

I'm sorry, it's obviously Jesus in a can, because you're creaming yourself over it.

Wonder if you'll still have your cock out when the onvelty wears off.

In the interest of fairness...

Don't we have "light guns?" DDR mats (Which started iwth the NES)? Headsets? Keyboards? Don't we already have "separate controllers?"

Allz we need now is a SUPA DUPA WANKING game.

Doesn't look liek they're going for practicality.

Look kinda odd but I'd MUCH prefer to use this.

I give you the DDR mats but the others aren't needed. But you're right. The docking case will be nice, I just don't see why they wouldn't go straight to that and put the sensors on it.

Seems like my vascillating fanboyism is back in full strength.

None of them are "needed," unless you want to play specific games. The thign is, there's a history of this stuff (I forgot a few, such as the SNES' mouse), whether it's necessary or not. Or even if we like 'em.

I think the idea of sliding the remote into the Rev controller is dumb, but it's better than nothing.

I just hope they support this better than the NDS. Hate to say it, but the only bad thing I can say about the DS is the lack of fucking GAMES.

Wait, tilt your head to the right when looking at the first pic.

ZOMG!

Note: I haven't read any articles, seen any promos, or whatever.

Howabout this. Stop being an idiot fanboy, and I'll stop taking the opposing side.

I don't know how you fucktards don't notice this, but I've actually taken both sides on this issue in relation to the extremists. So sit down, shut up, stop being part of the problem, and I'll have less to react to. Sweet Jesus, y'all are fucking dense.

This wasn't the first nail. Nintendo's made some bad decisions over time. People will forget the shit, but remember the "innovation."

They've damaged their rep over the years, and still come out of the box strong normally. The thing that worries me is that most of their "advances" have happened in the form of peripherals or side projects. For example, they didn't stop making for the Game Boy because the new "Virtual Boy" came out, and the actual GBA's successor isn't out yet (Meaning the DS isn't it). Other advances were less heavy-handed, such as peripherals, or analog sticks that were largely optional early on.

This one, however, is a core system.

...Until they announce it's the new "fourth pillar," and sell us the Gamecube Micro which will be 50% smaller and have faceplates, but no new technology or ports for the GBA player or LANpipe.

so like...there's two available controllers now?

or like, you shove the remote in the controller and you get more buttons or something for certain games...like...hm? :confused:

Instead of a second controller, they sell a shell which you drop the remote into.

Tilt your head to the fucking right when looking at the pictures.

Yes, yes, it flips on its side to become an old-school Nintendo controller :roll:

ZOMG

Isn't that going to be horribly awkward considering the motion sensor (unless I've missed something) is at the top of the remote? What are you supposed to do, play sitting side-on?

The Game cube one is an Idea of what IGN thinks the shell will look like......If Nintendo doesn't sell the shell with the Revolution then they are dumbasses.

Unless of course, you're playing the old school NES games that are going to be available for download. :roll:

I figure the sensors would be disabled for the NES games :-\

:roll:

Really? You mean they won't be analog controlled and mostion sensitive?

I'll go out on a limb and say yes :o

Yea, too bad the IGN wavebird looking thing is just a photoshop thing.

One thing I haven't seen mention of yet, is what if I start playing a motion sensor game sitting up straight. Then, after playing a while, I lean back or maybe even lean forward. What if I tilt my body over to one side to get more comfortable. What if I pause it, get up and go to the bathroom, then come back and do not sit in the same position I was in before. In other words, if it calibrates itself based on the starting position, what happens when you change positions. Will you have to sit perfectly still to play? Will you contstantly have to pause and recalibrate? It is built to not only sense up, down, left, and right, but also back, forwards, etc. So it will definitly notice when I lean back in my chair. Is Samus going to tilt her head back when I do that?

I'd be very interested to try it out, but it's not looking so promising at this point.

Depends on how you change positions, I suppose.

I do the same thing though. Idoubt you'll have to be perfectly straight to play.

Nintendo say hello to Sega

I agree that it doesn't sound like a logical problem when talking about a game controller, but I can't imagine how they'll get around it.

If it is anything like having to deal with a Guncon, I don't want to be a part of it.

Personal attacks, whatever your brand persuasion, will not be tolerated in the VG forum. It's a VG controller not the last toilet roll fellas, it aint worth it.

Monday, September 19, 2005 - Walked into a doorknob.


New comic. Now before you get your e-trigger finger on that send button, just hear me out.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little bit excited to see what games come out for the new controller. Still it's an iffy idea at best. I always feel like a battered wife with Nintendo. As much as they beat the shit out of me, I still love them.

The first thought that crossed my mind when I looked at it was, "How the fuck do I play smash brothers on that?!". Enter the peripherals. Which I am sure to be a first in a long line. Here are just a few ideas floating around. Money grab? Golly no.

As well the one thing this device isn't, is revolutionary. If you've ever been to an arcade you can see stuff like this all over the place. Sword simulators, gun games, tennis, soccer, fire hoses, etc.. It's not breaking any new ground. Hell, there are even peripherals just like this.

The fact is Nintendo is on very shaky ground with the Gamecube. Awesome in handhelds but wow, trouble in consoles. Some of the games this systems has are fantastic. However they are few and FAR between.

Now you might call this a risk Nintendo is willing to make. Wind Waker was a risk. This is near suicide. I loved Wind Waker but many people were turned off by it . The same way people are being turned off by the new controller. If you're looking to pull in new customers this just isn't the way to do it. So there's the mantra that they're "Focused on making games". Which is why I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled out of consoles.

This is all speculation of course. Might end up liking the damn thing. God knows I've been wrong before. These are my views and I'm probably not going to change them until I try the Rev. Make your own decisions.

Just one last thing. This is the silliest promo video ever. There's such a thing as too excited. Direct hate mail over here.
