beautiful, back to basics. This makes perfect sense, they are going to be rereleasing all of the original NES games for the revolution and it's going to be sidescrolling bliss. I might have to get me one of these as long as they don't charge more than $10 to download games.

ps, turn it counter clockwise and guess what... it's an NES controller

edit ENGRdawg beat me to it.

it would be kinda cool playing a sword game and making slashing motions witht he controller. A two player fighting game where two people next to each other waving the controller violently sounds VERY gay though (

I think you can hold it on the side like a nes controller or uprite for remote or something.

Read the rest of the thread before you repeat what has been said twice.

Um............NO!

If I want to swing my arms around to play a game, I can play EYETOY.

I'm so pumped for this! It is so innovative and intuitive. If they pull this off (I hope they do!), I will be their official fan girl forever.

Does anyone else agree they took a cue from Apple on this? Hot.

Looking cool and being functional are two completely different things. How in the world is this suppose to give more control in a FPS than something like an Xbox or PS2 controller?

To tell you the truth, I am much more impressed with the Eyetoy 2 over this.

Its nintendo man. Its not about the FPS, its about the platformers. The bumping things with your head. It looks tight, I like what ninetndo is going for. The we dont give a shit about system specs, we make uber games watch us pwn.

This is a quote from the ign article. The way it senses movement in the controller it self is awesome. Too bad Nintendo can never get any goo third party developers.

[quoteb03ecce555]Demo 8 First Person Shooting
So, we lied -- not all of the demonstrations were completely crude graphics. For the final demo, the one that most represented how a game might feel with the Revolution controller, Nintendo displayed what was apparently a test by the team at Retro Studios for what they could do with Metroid Prime 3. They stressed it was just a test, quickly thrown together in just a few weeks. For this, the analog control stick peripheral was used. We held it in our left hand to control the forwards, backwards, and side-strafing motions, as well as having access to triggers in back for scanning; meanwhile, the right hand used the main Revolution remote control to behave just like a mouse on a personal computer. It was a very natural application and felt pretty smooth, but since it wasn't a polished game it did feel a bit awkward at times, making us wonder what kind of things a developer could do to calibrate these kinds of controls for users. Nonetheless, the potential is huge for the FPS genre.[/quoteb03ecce555]
