Nintendo Revolution controller revealed at TGS.

Yep, even though some interesting things happened at TGS (Baten Kaitos II, Gears of War, MGS4 trailer, etc.) the big hit was the Rev controller.

I know it might be a lot, but I actually suggest reading all the articles so you get a better understanding of the controller.

To be honest, when I saw this 48 hours ago, I hated it. I thought it was dumb. Unnecessary. But it's been growing on me, and after enough time and reading the articles, I've actually come to like it. There are seriously so many new gameplay opportunities with this. Complete accuracy in FPS's. Action games can be improved, as well as RTS's. Even RPG's. I didn't think fighting games would work, but IGN's article makes sense.

The problem lies in third-party support. Before launch comes, Nintendo's got to either release another conventional controller, or somehow adjust the current one so that developers won't be scared off of making multiplatform games for the Rev.

Also, for anyone watching IGN's teaser trailer of the Rev controller, don't think that you'll have to be flailing your arms that much. Whenever they do media like that, they always exaggerate to get the feature (in this case interactivity by moving the controller) across. Simple wrist movements will be enough.

Plus, people hate change. I'm one of those people. But I'm still trying to keep an open mind about this. Unfortunately, I don't think most other people will. It's a pretty daring move. =/

In the end, it's either going to revolutionize (LOL RITE GUYZ) the gaming industry, or fail horribly. No medium. If they utilize it right, though, I can see that it should be a lot of fun as long as they address the current problems.

Saw this a while back, it's pretty interesting, but I don't see why people can't just give it a chance. It's pretty ingenious! Leave it to SuperNintendio for this kinda thing. :]

One reply and over thirty views? For shame, people.

Anyway, yeah, I agree with you. They say they'll have a Rev to play at next year's E3.
