Nintendo Revolution Controller Revealed

[H5N]

I'm very optimistic about Revolution and the controller! And I bet this is just icing on the cake as there are more secrets to be revealed about the controller and Revolution as said in the above interview. :)

[Matt T]

I think it looks nice.

Take it easy on the caps, Karn... no need to be overtly obnoxious.

I'll reserve any further judgement on Revolution's controller until I see it's implementation in the next Zelda title.

Actually that would work rather well. Nice mockup :)

[Erich]

I took me a while to realize this, (since they never showed an example of it in the video), but you will most probably hold this thing like a conventional controller except the right had must be free because the intention is all games will use the 3d gyroscopic control and it would be rather difficult if both hands were tied to the same shell.

Just think about it, all that will be required is flicks of the wrist. That wire is WAY too short for you to be spreading your arms apart. That's the intention. Except for the fact that it now has a 3d control that no other controller has, it's really not that much different.

wow i've always steered clear of nintendo since sony got into the console market but i must say this does look like a pretty cool controller. ahh i can imagine playing jedi knight 2 or something on the revolution, whilst swingning my remote as a lightsaber.

IGN creates controller shell for Revolution controller

Posted Sep 17, 2005, 8:30 AM ET by Conrad Quilty-Harper

IGN has created a mock-up of what it thinks the conventional controller shell adaptor for the Revolution controller will look like. Nintendo has confirmed two controller adaptors, one of which is the analog trigger controller. The other is an adaptor to allow more conservative gamers to play with an ?old-school? two handed controller. Nintendo hasn?t announced the design of this adaptor yet so IGN fired up Photoshop and whipped up this possible design.

This adaptor could allow game developers to port games from other platforms to the console. It?ll also have the added advantage of retaining the main controller?s motion sensors, giving developers the best of both worlds. If any of you were a little bit worried about the new controller (there are at least 964 of you), does the possibility of an adaptor like this make you feel any better about Nintendo?s new console? Also, do you think IGN?s design will be similar to the final Nintendo design?

I want that. :D

Okay before I say anything let me just say that PEOPLE NEED TO READ IN DETAIL BEFORE COMMENTING. Not just here, but everywhere. Every site that I have been on that has comments, have had the most stupid, pointless, retarded, and thoughtless comments I have honestly ever seen and I'm tired of it. READ.

The controller completely and honestly changes the way we think, and play games. That is just exactly what Nintendo said it would do. Personally at first glance I was a tad disappointed, but upon further reading I realized this can actually be pretty kick ***. I mean, every single newscaster and journalist is freaking with joy (because they know the details that most ignorent people dont want to read).

This thing looks promising and I can't wait to see what kind of games come out for it. My only gripe now is deciding which console I want to get. Xbox 360 or Revolution.

I think Nintendo took a step in the right direction. The controller is slick and sexy, and you can plug it into an actual gamecube-style controller if you dont like the whole remote idea and you can still get the tilt sensativity out of it. Amazing. Innovative.

Interesting, but it will be damn heavy I think.

[Toxikk Veteran]

that is sick. im amazed. :o

[.Atlantis]

Reminds me of how Dreamcast incorporated the game card into the controller.

[Amnesia]

SWEET!

@MX it'll only be heavy depending on what's inside :p or what it's made of.

[SojIrOu]

hmm i'm still puzzled how people are gonna play games with one hand. i mean there's no way to move and do stuff at the same time without the analog adaptor.

[reactionary007]

i smell a 3DO... or a Jaguar.

Hopefully I'm wrong because I am a loyal Nintendo fan. The Gamecube and the DS are top notch. I suppose I check out more than just the still photos.

[TheFlusher]

Are they for Real?

Yes you should.

I hope this answers your question. :s

[Erich]

You shouldn't even be commenting on it until you watch the video atleast. The large majority of negative responces are coming from ingnoramouses and it fookin' annoying.

This really belongs in Console Gaming...

Still, not a bad mock-up, but hardly what I expect the final product to be.
