TGS 2005: Revolution Controller at a Glance Just want to know what it does and how it works? Click here. Pictures included. by Matt Casamassina September 15, 2005 - Nintendo on Thursday unveiled the formerly top-secret controller mechanism for its next-generation console, codenamed Revolution. The device bucks the conventions of previous controllers in favor of an entirely new interface -- one that's destined to for good or bad separate the Big N from its competitors once and for all. Personally, we think this thing has a lot of potential and we can't wait to see what Nintendo does with it. Naturally, the big question on everybody's mind is, what exactly makes the Revolution controller so unique? Here's the answer. Revolution's controller is a slick, cleanly designed device that looks like a cross between a futuristic remote control and an Apple iPod. The unit is held in one hand. It interacts with included motion sensors (which are placed on the left and right sides of televisions) to become a virtual conductor, of sorts. It detects motions, angles, directions and depths in a realistic manner, offering more freedom and precision in games than ever before. Imagine sticking your hand in a 3D box and being able to input all of your movement in games and you've got the basic idea. The bottom of the controller features an expansion slot, by which a number of add-ons are possible. Nintendo demonstrated an analog stick, held the opposite hand, which is sure to help maker first-person shooters more intuitive than they have ever been before on any home console. Features at a glance: Remote control design: constructed to appeal to a wide variety of potential players 3D Pointing: Sensors understand up, down, left, right, forward and backward. Tilt Sensitive: Controller can be rotated or rolled from side-to-side. Buttons Included: Has a trigger on its backside, face buttons, and a D-Pad. Multifunctional: Has an expansion port which can be used with different types of controller peripherals. Analog stick with two trigger buttons planned for left hand. Wireless: Totally wire-free. Currently there are no details on the max distance, source or power, or otherwise. Rumble Built-in. Included standard in all the controllers. Because seeing is believing, we've included several pictures of the device in this story.

No thanks. Nintendo's franchise games are for kids. Adults play PS3/Xbox360.

most, including all ea games, are multiplatform ne way so you are just missing out on franchise games sucka.... :1orglaugh |
I like this. This is forward thinking and will open new doors for game developers.
Imagine dual welding during a halo2 match with this? That would be amazing and truly bring you into the game. No more restrictions on the thumbsticks and having to set sensitivity. Now you can whip around and blast some sucker that got behind you. What about when you wan't to meley attack. Now you truly can punch someone in the face or slash them with the sword. lol. This is definately cool. I hope it takes off and the game developers start pouring out games for it. Has other benifits like getting off your ass to play a game now. |
Zelda is a kids game Zane.. sorry to burst your bubble.

It's fugly... the gamecube controller was little better. We need something bulky and durable like the xbox controller that you can throw around the room and it still works... I broke 3 GC controllers in 2 days simply because they arent durable. :(
|
