It may be a shock, but try not to judge too quickly. Once you read the article it sounds a lot better than it initially looks. Not that it looks bad, it's just... different.

What do you mean if that's real? Does IGN make up stuff? I'm pretty sure Nintendo's head man wouldn't just be showing a lot of fake things at a press conference.

worst controller design EVAR. Shitty button placement and only a single joy? they fail.

did any of you actually read the article or did you just look at the pretty pictures?

if it works like the article says it could, I think it'd be pretty dope to control my player, car, cursor, etc by physically moving the controller.


Then again I thought the power glove was dope at the time.

that's all i was thinking about. gimmick controller interfaces have been nintendo's fetish since the beginning... in the end, it always falls back to the bread and butter. the analog stick is really the only thing they pushed out that stuck.

the idea seems interesting, but i just don't think it would be my bag.

maybe "real" wasn't the right word...

If you had read the articles you would know that they demoed the controller with a modified version of Metroid Prime 2 (an FPS) and it got a lot fo positive feedback.

Zelda
Metroid
Resident Evil
Shenmue
Mario Bros
Mario Party (it's fun, EOS)
Mario Cart
Time Splitters
Battalion Wars

are my reasons for getting one. and that's just what we know for sure will be released for Nintendo only. there could (and will be) loads more exclusive titles.

I'll wait for the release of all three next gens, let a friend buy one and some games. Then make my choices on which one seems like the better bang for the gaming buck..

I usually wait for the 2nd or 3rd shipment of consoles. Gives the manufacturer time to fix the bugs found in the 1st release.

that being said, as the 3 consoles have staggered release dates I'll probably get them in the order they come out. Or if the Rev and PS3 are released around the same time I'll probably

interesting info on the Rev's controller
