* Revolution controller looks like futuristic television remote.

* Glossy white design.

* Looks Apple iPod inspired.

* Controller is held in one hand. Attachments in the other.

* Attachments connect to the bottom of the controller. Iwata shows analog stick attachment.

* Thinking about packing Revolution with the main controller and attachment, Iwata says.

* Controller acts like a mouse in real-space 3D. Pefect for FPS games!

* Future attachments planned.

Guess you have to try it out first but first impressions is "WTF!".

[giga Veteran]

aaaaaaaaaah

[x-byte]

weird... can't wait to see how they work!

[Eli]

I was like "WTF" but the more I think I'm like "Cool :D"

[benjeeeboy]

It seems stupid with the analog stick attachment, maybe if we see the others it'll make sense

Lol:

DEMO: PILOT WANGS

Manipulate a biplane through the air, trying to fly through rings scattered around the Isle Delfino hub world of Super Mario Sunshine.

IMPRESSIONS: This was about all the different ways the Revolution can detect tilting the controller. It was as if the controller was the airplane itself - as long as your movements weren't too sudden, the on-screen action would mimic your movements with very little lag time. After about a minute I was pulling dramatic dives and loop-de-loops, bullseye-ing plenty of rings.

EDIT: Damn, too slow! At least I can add something: the katakana says "Free-Style Controller."

Oh man I have to see demos of how this is used. Sword slashing and gun shooting by pointing the controller. I did not see this coming at all.

As odd as it may look holding the two separate controller pieces, one in each hand, looking around felt incredibly natural, even more than my preferred PC-style keyboard-and-mouse setup. I have to wonder about precision and speed in multiplayer games, but for a more deliberate single-player game like Metroid Prime - and the series is already confirmed for an appearance on the Revolution - this setup already has huge potential.
