Wait a second, THATS THEIR SECRET!!! They are hoping to please the male gamer.

I think this is a really bad idea.

yes...despite you can use up to 4 GC controllers on the Rev...

I think Nintendo know what theyre doing...

I too have no idea if its gonna work out like a charm or flop like virtual boy, but the point is atleast nintendo is making a turn from the conventional. I think that alone deserves priase.

i have no doubt computer + mouse will continue to remain as the prime medium to play a FPS game, but the Rev countroller looks like a definate improvement in FPS gameplay in TV game compared to using the standard controllers.

i think ill just ignore the whole ball-scratching comment for ur own good

Im still waiting for them to release some sort of completely immersive shooting game with a wireless gun solution.. Not pointing at a 12 inch screen but a 360 degree environment.
Im hopeing they put that cool hollographic computer screen technology to work soon on this. Im not sure if youve seen it or not, i forget the website, but its a device that modifies the air molecues to project a screen into thin air. If they rigged it to run a 360 degree screen in the air that would be really awesome. Probably more practical for arcade liike places at first. The only side effects i see are that the kids might get better at shooting then the cops do

Ahh.. i found it.
The technology is still a bit primative, i hope they can refine it a little more.

Theres also a few videos of it.. The most interesting one here:

It actually records your hand movements so its interactive so you can have buttons made out of air basically.

They didnt use to be, but their current system and the games for it are.

Man I miss the old Nintendo.

[QUOTE=Inde]Mmm - did you read the hands on reviews? Most of the reviewers really liked it, and said the Metroid gameplay with the new controller was a lot more intuitive

yaaaaaa i heard about that.....but i bet you its got a better gameplay in pong lol...juss a quick question....why would people pay the same amount on a rev. if nintendo continues to show that they cannot keep up with the advances made on such systems....i mean its about time nintendo came up with a comparable system as the ps2....but there 4 years off.

.....i guess if youd rather play classic games and beat games that require 2 to 3 braincells firing at any given time than nintendo is your system.....but as sales shower....nintendo will never be where it was at one point

Swarnt Brightstar · Sep 17, 2005, 01:16 PM // 13:16

I'm gonna go with.... They've totally lost their sanity.

Using a remote control and a mouse to play a videogame=bad

I'm just curious but whoever designed this controller must be on some type of drug... Or he's just insane, the day that you can have fast-paced battles with that thing I'll have croaked.

And, I doubt it's gonna be possible to actually use an FPS witha remote control...

Xploit · Sep 17, 2005, 01:25 PM // 13:25

Remember there is a Joystick add-on to the remote, I haven't seen anyone mention it.

Swarnt Brightstar · Sep 17, 2005, 01:48 PM // 13:48

I get the feeling that isnt going to work very well... I want a Ps3... and an Xbox 360..

cant choose... NOOOOOO
lol, What IS with that remote?

Kinda unweildy if you ask me...

chris_nin00 · Sep 17, 2005, 02:59 PM // 14:59

I have a feeling this is gonna rock...not only because its Nintendo but because it looks fun to play with. As for controller itself I hope they come in pink.

I would love to take a new direction for video games instead of the same old games with just better graphics(XBOX and PS3). The Rev. controller gives games more depth and makes you feel like YOU are In the game.
The Rev. controller is the best innovation Nintendo has created.
I also believe Nintendo is taking a big risk by doing this. Its very pretty and all but it takes a dramatic sidestep from traditional gaming which might be a turn off for some players.

In that video, the FPS looks cool to do. I hope they make it so you have to lock and load your controller. That would be awesome. And it would teach kids how to load guns.

As for me, I'm gonna pass up XBOX 360, get a PS3 and a Revolution.

ExplosiveBadger · Sep 17, 2005, 03:41 PM // 15:41

You guys talk too much. I thought it was gay after seeing screenshots, but the video gave me so much faith. Revolution controller has the most potential out of the 3.

Hemiipowered · Sep 17, 2005, 03:49 PM // 15:49

finally decided to watch the video....and all that came to mind while watching people throw their arms around in the air was the ps2 attempt at eye toy....only 2 years late

TwilightOblivion · Sep 17, 2005, 07:13 PM // 19:13

I dont care what anyone else says, this thing is gonna pwn. just imagine playing a FPS where you actually aim at the screen besides duck hunt and time crisis! and the whole being able to zoom by moving the controller closer and farther is ingenious. I cant wait for a maro party with this baby!! and if you get mad at someone, you can use the convenient nunchucku design to go ninja on their ass. some games i can see it being weird to play, but it will just take some getting used to. When someone can amke a tv into a touchscreen, they have a work of art. That is exactly what the revolution controller is; a work of art.

Ultimate_Gaara · Sep 18, 2005, 04:37 AM // 04:37

i heard about that yesterday, crazy stuff im not sure if too many people would be able to get the hang of that.. so its a huge risk

i grew up with a NES so of coruse im a nintendo fan, i own every system from them and personaly im tired of hearing everyone saying "Gamecube was a failure" when it totaly smacks all the other guys around like they are.. umm some sort of slapping device?

As for if im going to get it im not sure, i probly will not be able to aford it if prices go up, and you know they will...

Gamecube was a failure, and one of the worst kind. A commercial failure....

Rhine · Sep 18, 2005, 04:56 AM // 04:56

Think about all the possibilties it opens and FPS will be fun as hell

I know I know, and me and my fanboy self will probably buy the damn thing.

But, that dosent mean I have to be happy about it.

TwilightOblivion · Sep 18, 2005, 05:08 AM // 05:08

dude, GC was not a failure. it has SSBM. thats all it needs to roxor. animal crossing was good, and so was kirby air ride. and last but not least, Metroid primes. those in thmselves are worth getting a gamecube for.
