Precision Passing, Madden 06 is nice. Still stick a middle finger to EAssholes.

Of all the controllers of this gen, I love the Gamecube's 141354325x more than the others.

Besides the fact that it looks pretty stupid just shoved in there, I guess you get the best of both worlds.

[Funky Fly]

Now that's more like it. They better make that D-pad bigger, though. It's retardedly small on the GC pad.

[Vietnamese Crippler]

I just saw that on IGNCube, too bad it's not the real thing though because that would be awesome

But there will be a controller cradle, so it's all good

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

[Loose Cannon]

AHHHHHH, There we go!!

Refreshed.

And we thought Nintendo would let us down.

[Jalapeño]

Allz we need now is a SUPA DUPA WANKING game.

[Drakul]

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

[Kapoutman]

Seems like my vascillating fanboyism is back in full strength.

[Tornado]

Oh My.
On first look, I thought, "what the fuck is that thing". The I watched the commercial-style promo for it, and it won me over. Could be very, well, "revolutionary" which I suppose is what Nintendo are going for. This could cement Nintendo as THE games company, but it could also be the final nail in the coffin...i'm hoping that doesn't happen, but I really don't see this controller appealing to the mainstream....:meh:

I'm starting to like the idea, but its a shame the third party developers will be too lazy to use the technology properly.

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.

[Jalapeño]

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

ZOMG!

[Jalapeño]

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

[Jason Cage]

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.

The remote one with joystick I believe will be for 1st party games. The one that looks like a Gamecube one will be for 3rd party games and multi-platform games that do not support the remote controller.


I think.

See, now if that's the case then that rules. It gives them the whole "revolutionary" aspect with their controller ish, while still giving the option to retain a more traditional controller. Much better

[Jalapeño]

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

[Vietnamese Crippler]

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

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?

[Vietnamese Crippler]

I figure the sensors would be disabled for the NES games

[Jalapeño]

ZOMG

[Savio]

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.

[Jalapeño]

[Kane Knight]

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

[Vietnamese Crippler]

I'll go out on a limb and say yes

[AareDub]

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.

[Kane Knight]

Depends on how you change positions, I suppose.

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

[AareDub]

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.

[Innovator]

Nintendo say hello to Sega

[Boomer]

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.
