It has tilt technology which allows you to move it around and controller the stuff on screen.


Not going to post the whole article because it's quite lengthy but here is the link to it.

I think it looks ridiculous, personally. I haven't held one so I can't judge fully but I can't find that being comfortable for long game play.

this is a fucking joke right?

Between this and the gameboy micro I'm really starting to think Nintendo wants to go bankrupt.

I like the look. It gives you more freedom when playing the games. You can hold the movement part however close to the buttons as you wish. This could be interesting, too bad I don't plan on buying a Revolution.

that is possibly the gayest technological device I've ever seen in my entire life.

hw fucking stupid.

Come on. The analog stick is a peripheral which will probably mean it's needed to be bought seperate. So if you're going to buy that just so you can wiggle your hands together while pointing at sensors you have to position around your television set, then by all means.

I'm with you.

I guess you had your response ready before you read my last sentence.

That's.....pretty fucking bad. Might be good, but for now, no

I fucking lose PS2 and GC controls easily, that thing would disappear in a week

Dammit. Boomerangs and remote controls. Both of which were made to be THROWN.

There's gonna be a lot of broken controllers.

Wow, definitely getting the PS3, THEN the Revolution. That is ridiculous.

Are you sure its not just a mock-up like IGN did a few weeks back?

I don't buy it. Especially after all the talk of backwards compatability.

It was shown at the Tokyo Game Show by Shigeru Miyamoto and Nintendo reps and that's where they were going to release the first info on the revolution. This is just the first to come from it.

Would you rather have the one in the first post or this?

I hope not. That is going to suck for old games that don't use the analog stick.. have to use two hands on the remote control. :(

kiss nintendo goodbye. first they lost the final fantasy franchise (FF7 would of been for the dolphin cd system and would of sent them over the top... but "cart based games are still the future") and now this bullshit.

hello PS3.

Wow... terrible. I don't know it just... doesn't look "fun". Like i've never thought to myself "wow I would really like to pay video games with my television converter.

you know, i just had a thought......

isn't the system supposed to be black?

which means the second picture in this thread makes more sense.

looks liek someone shit in their cereal

Wow YTMND is already over flowing with YTMNDs about the controllers.

I just don't know what to think. When reading the article, it looks interesting, and I've learned not to doubt Miyamoto... But it does look gay/weird/odd and will turna lot of people off. I'll try before I buy this time.

For those of you still having doubts about it being the actual controller...

I MENA SERIOUSLY IT LOOKS LIEK A FRIDGE REMOTE FOR ICE CUBES.

howz it suppsoed to work anyway, you've always needed easy access to all the buttons. WTF. This is the most retarded shit ever

"The feeling is so natural and real, as soon as players use the controller, their minds will spin with the possibilities of how this will change gaming as we know it today,” explains Satoru Iwata, Nintendo president. “This is an extremely exciting innovation – one that will thrill current players and entice new ones.”

:wtf: This guy's under the influence of colombian cocaine

or it could be

Him being a dumbass

Who gives a shit if it has tilt technology. Its a DVD remote.

Hot shit.







No really; steaming, stinking, hot shit.

IGN article. They make some good points about the upside but really, who the fuck is going to spend time and money redeveloping games to be used with *that* or even buliding a seperate controller add-on when they can basically produce one set of code, tweak it slightly, and have it go out on both PS3 and 360?

Someone has been doing some class A drugs down at Nintendo. Seriously what the fuck.

You know, I've been a Nintendo fan(boy) for my entire life. I remember playing the Mario games for hours on end. I didn't buy a PSX for years because I only loved Nintendo. But for fuck's sake, what in the fucking hell are they thinking!? I'm actually going to have to TRY this before I buy it, which is actually rare for me, as I usually get shit at launch.

I'm afraid that no matter how well this thing works, it's going to bomb because it sounds and looks like the most ridiculous idea for a game controller ever. This may actually kill Nintendo.

I may actually reconsider and get an Xbox 360 instead of the Revolution.

I like it.

I'm going against all of you (besides Jonster) by saying that this will be the most revolutionary thing in Video Game history. They don't call it the Nintendo Revolution for nothing. :mad:

I obviously haven't taken my medicine.

Thats.....interesting.

*cough*

Maybe.

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

http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=60917

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.

If they complain just hit them with a few chops of your own.

Umm, I dont see how that controller iwll do all that.

They should just release a 3d headset with some gloves if they want to do something awesome.

I'm going to wait until it comes out to officially pass judgement, but I have this sinking feeling that this is going to be worse than the Virtual Boy.

I learned how to chop, and very effective it is too. :D

I tempted to see what happens with ports. If you'll need all new coding or if the system takes care of that itself. This isn't just a bad idea for players but this would cause developers to come up with a whole different product in order to get them to the Revolution. We all know how the 3rd party support is with Nintendo already, I'm afraid this could be one of the final blows.

At least techno you get for free. This piece of impending poop will cost like 500 "bones or clams, or whatever you call them."

:yes:

And you do?

If you're just using the remote, you have easy acess to two buttons. What's that, a big A button on the front, and a big B button on the back. Why that's two buttons right there, oh my.
Who's to say you'll even need a button to jump, when you could just lift the controller, then you only need one button (for kick - in your example).
The joystick, which doesn't have to be used, has two extra buttons on the front of it as well.

I just realised it's a quite clever design in that it can be used equally by left and right-handed people.

But oh wait, what's that on page 2, a link to an interview with Nintendo Europe's Senior Marketing Director saying that there will be a more tradional controller to go with it as well.

Here's the link again, seeing how you missed it the first time:
http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=60917
And if you're too lazy to even click the link, here's the exact question and answer for you, to which I am referring:

Because it's just a tilt sensor they've added :roll:
They've created a truely 3d controller, something that will take away from the abstractness of the current 2d controllers and be accessable to more people.



I think that it will be a good thing for games, I think it's a brave move by Nintendo.
I remember the time when the first shots of the N64 pad were released, and people hated that and the idea of an analogue stick. Now look at pads.
Of course final judgement will be reserved until I play the thing, but I think a lot of good original games will come from it.

You're correct Jonster, I was too lazy to click the link. If I had some sort of remote I could have pointed at it with that could be used for Microsoft's browser it would have been so much easier and entertaining. But then again, I use a 3rd party browser. Does that mean I'd have to buy a whole new pointing device, such as a mouse, in order to get full features?

Thank you Grammer Garth.
