OH GOD...

"Touching is good, but feeling is better"

Actually force feedback could do this.

I have a Logitech USB optical mouse called the iFeel...it has basically a small motor mounted inside it, and using techology from (guess who Sony!) Immersion Corp, you could basically 'feel' your desktop. Everything had a different 'texture' when you moused over things, down menus, over buttons.

Revolution could employ this tech to allow you to 'feel' edges and objects, etc.

:)

I solved the mystery. Cookie please.

^^ I'm actually worried about Mario 128. I mean, I have no clue about what they can do to implement the new controller to the Mario gameplay, so I'm afraid they may pull something crazy that maybe won't be that great. For example, IMHO controlling Mario 64 DS with any of the configurations available in the game is really difficult, and kind of like a step back. I guess I'll just have to trust them.

But for all other games, I really excited to see what they come up with

too true, Mario 64 DS was a pain.. i just couldnt get used to the touch screen, and i hated the fact that when using the dpad you had to hold down another button just so you could run, otherwise you'd just walk really really slow. saying that though, i completed that game, and it was a decent port, the only let down was the controls.

I'm worried about 128 aswell, i was hoping for a true Mario 64 sequel, but if they go about it like they did with the N64 that the revolutionary part was needed for you to play it, it would really take the pi$$.

Also that mention of a new sidekick, and different ways to interact..or whatever was said.. bothers me.

Super Mario 64 DS with the thumbstrap was almost as easy like using the N64 controller IMO. Using other controls just ruins the game really...

[Erich]

Don't worry about 128, Mario 64 DS was a port from a console that had an analog controller. 128 is a from the ground up built around the rev controller. No worries :happy:

Peter Moore, Microsoft Xbox Vice President, praises Nintendo's Revolution controller, regarding Microsoft's and Nintendo's goals of expanding the video game market with their next consoles.

"I want to give kudos for Nintendo for its attempt at innovation with the new controller," Moore continued by saying he felt the controller would "bring people in that, as Iwata-san said, are either lapsed gamers or gamers that are intimidated by the complexity of the controller."

"We need to grow as an industry," Moore extended. "Having a simplified controller is one tactic in what is a larger strategic battle we need to face to grow this business."

According to Moore, Microsoft is also expanding the video game market through the Xbox 360's "digital lifestyle" functionality. This is a surprise and invigorating change to the usual stabs the 3 major companys have been taking at eachother.

"OMGLOL Gimmick!"

Arrr, I couldnt get the thumbstrap to work for me right in that game. I just ended up getting used to the d-pad.

Bah, the thumbstrap is horrible, you need a stylus to use the DS properly.

[Amnesia]

people say they dont know how Mario 128 will be played with the controller, but I thought I remember seeing something in demo video

I saw the girl flick the controller up and hear the traditional mario jump sound.

Yeah well I'm pretty sure that doesnt really have anything to do with it. Theyre being as top secret as they were with the controller when it comes to any gameplay features in Mario 128.

Correct.

That video is exaggerated to show concepts of control.

Like when the kid jumps over the sofa while playing an FPS.

My idiot friend was like "its gonna suck to have to move around and ****..."

Hah...like you have enough room to move around to play an entire game spanning hundreds of virtual miles etc... HAHA....

And HAHA isnt it funny how much Nintendo has us by the balls? Or anyone for that matter (Apple comes to mind...)...they show us this and that, to be greeted by "WOWWW" (deservingly though!)...then tease us by hiding the 'rest'...

'please, let go of that tight grip you have on my balls'

[Xtreme $niper]

LOL thats an interesting way of putting it. "Isnt it funny how much Nintendo has us by the balls?" It is true though... :p

Yep, a couple years back when I first found myself becoming interested in Apple I realized at that moment that they were just like nintendo. They both drive me crazy and yet I love them both.

Are you kidding :o

The thumbstrap is so easy to use! Infact all the other control ways are so uncomfortable for Super Mari 64. If you use the D-pad the character doesnt ever run :s

Yeah the character does run, you just have to hold down one of the buttons, I forgot which one. The left-most button. Sort of like the traditional mario games where you had to hold B to run.

[Ayepecks]

Possible specs?

That would be the Y button.

But the Thumstrap is so much easier to control :)

As commented there,

Well the main difference between Nintendo and the rest is that they are not in this race for who has the best graphics. They are in it for who has the most innovative hardware. Powerful system is just a bonus, and the more powerful it is, the happier I'll be in the long run.
