More on Nintendo's revolution controllers!!



Finally the release of the new concept. I was looking at the controller and I was thinking, "how the heck could you play with only one hand for hours like you can with your regular controller that require two hands?" But it is all starting to make sense. This controller is to come with an attatchment that connects to the bottom of the controller. This attatchment will be the analoge side of the controller provding use to navegate 3-d levels. Nintendo definatley does have somthing here. For some games however you just point the controller alone at the television and play away. This means you actually controll the screne when you move your controller. This feature is called the "direct pointing device". The sensor at the top of the controller is what detects the players position and orentation. By tilting your wrist left or write you can controll a car in a racing game, if you move your arm to aim at object you can hit the "power button"(the big a button you see in this pic) and shoot, or you can make a slashing motion to use swords like in the legend of zelda or other nintendo exclusives the will be shown here at "we talk games". The attachement which goes into the bottom is what is called the "nunchuku-style" which ultimately makes the combanation look like nunchuku with them both combining still as a wireless controller.

This could make for some interesting gaming. Most obviously the revolution will have many exclusive titles but we we still wait for further developments. However for now you can expect to see some very interesting concepts develop as they may be planning to have a single player be able to use two controllers, one in each hand.

Overall, this controller is meant to give new gamers an easy and less intimidating introduction to gaming while providing an inovative product to the existing veteran gammers.

What do you think about this new concept. It is no doubt very interesting. Do you think it is somthing that is going to stick in the gamming market place?
