View Full Version : Nintendo Revolution?
http://media.cube.ign.com/articles/651/651275/img_3073863.html
And i thought the PS3 controller was the worst thing ive ever seen.
I dunno. I think it'll be wierd to use compared to a typical controller, but Nintendo has a knack for usable designs and I'm intrigued by the simplicity of it all (and it's ambidextrous!). It'll probably be tough to port a lot of button-intensive games over though.
tough to port a multi console game and not to mention when a game gets hectic and your trying for the life of you to keep up while playign with a remote? That will kill your wrists pretty quickly.
Then if youre playing a FPS game (using the poiinting feature to look around) your arms will get tired from hoding it up and moving it around the screen for so long.
With a controller you can rest it wherever is confortable and just push the buttons. No keeping your arms up in the air and waiving them around.
I really think this controller is a bad idea.

I didnt read the article but does it say its for gaming. Looks more like it's for navigating the system for multi media purposes. Kinda like Xbox's DVD remote cash grab.
If it where for gaming the small a and b buttons are a pain. A plus side is the I/O Power button for when your losing.

Wow, I think Nintendo is trying to be a little too innovative with this design. I agree with what Law said. The controller is gonna take a toll on your wrists and arms.
Maybe they'll sell add-on weights, so once you get used to it you can add another pound at a time to bulk up... the answer for kids who don't get exercise because they're playing video games all the time :D
Right now the Revolution is the only system that has my interest, and i wasn't expecting it to be that way. I glad atleast one company is trying to do something innovating and evolve gaming.
I think that if game developers get behind this the Revolution could be them ost interesting and maybe best system out.
I'm not sure why people think this is a bad idea really. If you goint oany big arcade that has modern games, most of the best games have a different and more physical way of interacting with them.
I also think that an innovation like this will appeal to the average consumer then say Microsoft and their X-Box Live Marketplace. Hopefully this will all work out and Nintendo and innovative games design will be the focus of the next console generation, not just better graphics and how many cpus are inside a plastic box.
Well, i hope you enjoy your innovative (arm destroying) controller to play a new wave of mario games.
It is interesting but it shouldnt be the main controller. I hope it isnt because its just bad. Terrible button configuration and it doesnt look ergonomic at all.
And this is the first we have really seen of the system, what have you heard that no one else has that has you more interested in the revolution than the ps3 or 360?

Oh man, you right, I didn't realize you had already tried out the Revolution controller to make such judgment calls. Silly me, I was waiting to try it our first hand before coming to a conclusion about how effective this input device would be for gaming, but I mean you already seem to know that this won't work out so I guess everyone should just ignore Nintendo from now on.

Not like Nintendo would have done market research or have donzens of experts involved in designing this input device. I bet you this will flop like that stupid analog stick on the N64 controller, why would anyone want to use anything other then a digital pad for gaming - that idea went no where.
And this is the first we have really seen of the system, what have you heard that no one else has that has you more interested in the revolution than the ps3 or 360?
Lets see, if you saw these three controllers next to each other, which one stands out the most here?

Ok, not sure if making your controller more aerodynamic is innovative but good effort Sony, but maybe you should get someone other then Batman to design your stuff.

This I want to try because I've never used anything like it - that's interesting becasue it's new!
The simple answer to your question about why the Revolution has my interest over the PS3 or 360 - the potential it offers. See, I have a good ideao f what to expect from the 360 and the PS3, good traditional types of games, with really good graphics. Now I'm not 100% sure what the 360 will be like to play, what the games will be like, that is interesting to me.
But don't take my word for it:
"Nintendo has long been a trailblazer, and this controller design reinforces that reputation," said Brian Farrell, president and CEO of THQ. "We enthusiastically support Nintendo's next console because we believe their approach of continual innovation is very much in line with our own strategy of creating unique and innovative games for the next generation of hardware." "What we're seeing from this controller is the same thing we saw with Nintendo DS," said Chuck Huebner, Head of Worldwide Studios, Activision.. "It's a system that's designed with an eye on enticing new players to the video game industry, and that's something we firmly support."
"Game control is essential - it's the area where perhaps the most game-play improvement can be made," said John Schappert, Sr. Vice President and General Manager of Electronic Arts Canada. "While our portfolio represents a full array of titles across all genres, I think our sports titles might be the first to immediately take advantage of what this novel 'freehand' type of control has to offer."
"We were among the first publishers to see the control design in action," said Serge Hascoet, Chief Creative Officer of Ubisoft. "We're excited about the new controller and are looking forward to taking advantage of its innovative aspects."
Oh man, you right, I didn't realize you had already tried out the Revolution controller to make such judgment calls. Silly me,:
I have a remote control for my TV , so yeah ive tried out the revolution controller. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That damn think looks like a high blood pressure monitor, not a controller.
http://www.supportsusa.com/medical-equipment/bloodpressure/bloodpressure1.jpg
Sorry, but do any gamers actually care about innovation at all? I mean, I'm not saying that Nintendo's controller will 100% work, who knows no one's played a real game with it yet, just tech demos. But as gamers don't you appreciate the effort to try something new? Would you really rather have 3 almost identical consoles fighting for market share? Would it be so bad ot have an alternative device for gaming thatm aybe didn;t have half of its library consit of ports?
Seriously, I don't think that any one who can't appreciate the effort and innovation should consider themselves real gamers. Sorry, but why do you play games? For an enjoyalbe and interactive experience? So why are so many opposed to something that might enhance that experience even if it is different then the norm?
I'm not a Nintendo fan boy or anything, I hope it's been clear throug mny post that I'm not a fanboy of any coporate hype. I mean I personally wouldn't buy a DS, it doesn't offer the type od experiece that I'm looking for so I got a PSP, but I still appreciate what Nintendo is trying to do.
At the very least, atleast wait until you can try it hands on before making claims.
/Rant
Gee , i guess im not a real gamer because i dotn like the design.
why do i play games? to unwind. I like to get back home and sit and relax and have a game of halo or DOAU. I dont want to get home from school or work or the gym and have to hop around my tv with a remote control to get my character to move.
Gee Jb22 , you are the only real gamer on earth.
Lastly, maybe you arent a nintendo fanboy but you are anti MS. The thing with xbox players though , they had no brand loyalty to begin with. MS had to earn those gamers late in the game. And as with lots of other xbox users , had the 360 looked like garbage people would switch no problem. Unfortuantely for the Anti MS bandwaggon hoppers , Ms looks to be putting out a crazy machine yet again.
Nintendo can take its Donkey congo bongos, fishing rods and remote control controllers.
Ill stick to great games, great online play and gameplay any casual gamer can pick up and enjoy.

Really? i was thinking the same about you and Jb22, as soon as one of you posted the other was right behind.
I'm saying that all these people (not just those on this board) that are knocking nintendo for trying to do something different are kind of IMO missing the point of gaming. I mean if a company can try and come up with an innovative way to enjoy games and create a new experience, isn't that a good thing? I mean if companies just stuck to what's beed done over and over then the industry would just be very boring. The gaming industry use to be about innovation, I think things went bad around the PS1 era, where more companies saw the money that could be made from games and thus creativity took a real backseat to profits.
As for me being anit-MS, well seeing how I own an X-Box and it's been my favorite console of this current/past generation I don't think I'm anti MS, or anti any company. I've owned a Gameboy, Genesis, Sega CD, N64, PS1, Dreamcast, PSP, and X-Box so I've been all over the place, so I consider myself an independent consumer and will buy which ever product works best for what I want to do, no matter what brand it is.
Any way, my real beef I think goes beyond Nintendo and MS and the actual consoles. it's more so how people will take a look at something and without even giving it a try will presume to know everything about it.
It also bugs me that it seems that these people are the majority, which in turn sucks for me becasue they'll just flock and buy the same old thing over and over again, not even bothering to cosider something different which means that any company trying to do something creative won't be around for long as they won't have the support needed, which = less creative products for me to enjoy.

:xzs: Before you take sides you have to look at more than the controllers(although the revolution controller look more like a remote than i might like).But by the looks of it the first thing everyone looks at here is the controller.
To be honest(although personnally i've never been a huge fan of the xbox)the xbox360 controller looks best.The PS3 controller/baterang.The Nintendo revolution controller has a horrible layout and looks like it should be changing the channels on the television.I give aplaude nintendo for inovation(it's difficult needing it to play so many games)but i still don't like it.
From what i've heard nintendo's new online program sounds greatwith some parts of xbox(not completly)and it's totaly free!Misrosoft has offered free basic service for xbox360,but to get everything you still need to pay.Sony hasn't said much but it may be the same as the PS2 and not really able to compete.

JB22, you just sound bored of gaming, maybe a new hobby? Nintendo has been going under over the years... I think they just dug themselves deeper with that controller idea. Innovation is great, but changing things drastically just for the sake of change is just stupid. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

The only thing that looks semi-good about the controller is the lil' things on the bottom of it that I presume mean you can determine who is first/second/third/fourth just from the controllers themselves (if that explains it).

The ring of light on the 360 controller has that too, whatever controller you are lights up a section of the ring.

I'm not bored with gaimng, but I like to see companies try and be innovative as it's the only way the industry will move forward. My only real gripe with people is knocking the thing before trying it out a it seems almost everyone who's tried it with the tech demos seems to enjoy the experience and claims to seeing some real potential with it.
Any way, this controller still isn't 100% final (I assume in terms of design, although the concept shouldn't change much I think).
Also, I think some people are also forgetting Nintendos business strategy - which is that they want to be different then their compitition. Not just for the sake of being different, but also because they have to to stay alive. They know that they'll have trouble competing with Sony and MS to a lesser extent (atleast in Japan), so they need to be something else other then a cookie cutter game console. I also think developers appreciate moves like this as it opens up knew opportunities.
Also, you guys have to remember that other world markets aren't as closed minded as those in North America, so just because young guys in the region of the orwld won't get this device (or even give it a try) doesn't mean it won't be a hit in Asia or Europe.
I still am excited to give the Revolution a try, and am going to keep an eye on it to see what else Nintendo has planned for it.

Actually, it's more likely that developers won't utilize the so-called innovations. Nintendo is alienating the developers, not making them happy. If you haven't noticed, their 3rd party support has been... well.. crap (for home consoles, not handhelds). I think this move in the controller will only make things worse for them, but time will tell. Nintendo is becomming a niche.

I got a cube because it was 30 bucks , and i just wanted to play the RE series and the star wars games.
It also has some other good titles like metroid and i might try the zelda games but other than that its pretty useless.
and im a little mad that i got RE4 just to hear the ps2 version has more missions and a new character

I have spent the last 30 min reading this thread, i figured i would add my 2 cents, and maby a bit more.
For most of my life I have been a Nintendo supporter, but have played sega's and Sony's offerings via friends who went against the grain so-to speak lol. [I even own a PS1, but i will be damned if i know where it dissappeared to :) ; never did finish Legend of Dragoon...]. I haven't had much opertunity to get new consoles but I have ALWAYS had a Gameboy of some form, now upgraded to a Blue DS (as of yesterday).
I am personally intrigued (spelling?) by the Revolution and its unusual controller, asides from nintendo and microsoft info, i cant comment on ps3, as i havent heard squat asides from forum users (mostly on gamespot) and the blue-ray debate.
Nintendo has always been one to try new things with their hardware, look at the Micro and DS, and their forthcoming FREE ONLINE service, for examples), and the Revolution is just their next offering in their quest to bring new things to the videogame industry.
I personally look forward to seeing the Revolution do its stuff.
On a side note, I think nintendo could turn its DS into an actual PDA, since it has the touch screen and 2 pack slots (one for programs, and the other for storage - mostlikely the gba slot with a SDcard adapter like the one for their MP3/Movie player in Japan for the DS - Nintendo, BRING THAT OVER HERE!), and wireless capability, and that online service i mentioned earlier...

I look forward to Xbox 360, mainly for its online play capabilities. After all the arcade closures and downsizings, it will be nice to play fighting games against other people. Which is one reason I probably won't get a PS3, unless Namco gets their act together and puts online play for Tekken 6 and Soul Calibur 4, if they ever decide to make it. Most mainstream games are on all systems anyhow, and I don't care much at all for Sony's franchise games.
as for Revolution, I will probably pick this up as well, I've owned every Nintendo system, since R.O.B. the Robot came out on the old 8-bit NES. I've always enjoyed Nintendo franchises. And if SSBM3 is going to be online, as the rumor I heard awhile ago, that game by itself would be enough to pick one up. If it's not online though, I will need to wait for several franchise games to be released before I pick it up.
as for their new controller? I want to see how it works first, how it will effect gameplay on the Rev games, before I can truelly judge. It may be Nintendo's biggest mistake, but there's also a chance, it might be Nintendo's big comeback.

Of course they would say that after all the negative feedback they have gotten about it.
Sony had little signs saying the controller was a concept at E3 when it was first shown before there was any feedback.
I actually think Sony might try and do something a little radical like Nintendo after hearing all the positive feedback developers at TGS were giving.
Alright. First of all, jb22 I'm with you. I don't care about the other systems that much, but I'm looking forward to the Revolution because it is something fun and different and it looks like a blast for party type drinking games and not the "I'm-a-loner-I-play-at-home-by-myself-so-I-need-Live!-to-socialize-because-I-have-no-real-life-friends" type games. (Not that I am judging)
Second. Anyone stupid enough to hold the controller with your arm straight out should have their arm fall off. What, are you going to stand while playing it to? Idiot. I think my Grandma still does that with her TV remote.
Third, many reviewers at testing said that this style of controls were more comfortable for FPS's than a keyboard and mouse and enjoyed it.
Regardless of what everyone else thinks, I am glad Nintendo is doing something different. I will play them all, see the games released and end buy buying a couple of them AFTER I've played with them and AFTER I've determined which I like. Not before I haven't even touched the thing.
Oh man, you right, I didn't realize you had already tried out the Revolution controller to make such judgment calls. Silly me, I was waiting to try it our first hand before coming to a conclusion about how effective this input device would be for gaming, but I mean you already seem to know that this won't work out so I guess everyone should just ignore Nintendo from now on. I mean how silly for someone to think that a company that helped to establish home console gaming and has a record for creating industry standards would still be able to create an innovative and possibly revolutionary approach to gaming, but your right, I bet as soon as people try this thing their arms will just snap and fall right off. Not like Nintendo would have done market research or have donzens of experts involved in designing this input device. I bet you this will flop like that stupid analog stick on the N64 controller, why would anyone want to use anything other then a digital pad for gaming - that idea went no where.
By the way, jb22. This made me squirt in my pants a little.

.
If your to use it to point to things on the screen or movie it around for any reason then your arm will be stretched out somewhat , you cant do that and have your arm tucked in or resting on your leg.
Sony had little signs saying the controller was a concept at E3 when it was first shown before there was any feedback.

The only reason they would do that is if they had a feeling that their idea was crap in the first place.

I actually think Sony might try and do something a little radical like Nintendo after hearing all the positive feedback developers at TGS were giving.
well nintendo better get off its butt and patent everythign that went into making that controler's components, so sony cant steal their ideas

If your to use it to point to things on the screen or movie it around for any reason then your arm will be stretched out somewhat , you cant do that and have your arm tucked in or resting on your leg.
depends on where ur sitting Law, i used to sit like that with the nes light gun, and not have too many issues in duck hunt lol.

I dont think people played duck hunt on the kind of TVs that people are using for gaming these days.
It just looks too gimicky and uncomfortable.
but if you want a revolution then great. tell us how fun it is when you get one.
I wont lose sleep over not being able to play the latest mario game or pokemon game with a remote control.
And hurk, don't you play America's Army? I dont think thats a drinking game to play with your buddies, maybe you should take back your little comment...
Isnt he a MMORPG fan too? i guess all his drinking buddies huddle around a campfire in world of warcraft and drink beer(pepsi) while sending each other smilie winks and talking about how big their swords are.
I haven't played Americas Army in over a year/year and a half, and I played World of Warcraft for a couple months before the summer. Man, you "gamer" type get all pissy and defensive over anything, eh? Guess I hit a sore spot with the truth.
Regardless, I'll play what I find fun.

Well, whoever buys the revolution, I hope you guys have fun playing with their, "fun" and "different" interface, while playing the regular slew of nintendo games. Lets see, mario, zelda, pokemon, am I missing something? oh ya, metroid crap..
...
remember nintendo did say they would have a shell like thing you stick the controller in so you can play games in a regular manner.So ya,i will have fun playing the regular nintendo games.

:htv:
Yup, that's me. Having an open mind towards a console is me "starting something". I just hate people who judge things based on no experience.
But whatever.

First hurk, you claim those with xbox live are social losers that do nothing but try and gain a life by talking on xbox live? uhh, that really makes NO sense whatsoever.
Plus, I don't think mario party is a drinking game, unless your drinking juice.

Yeah, why can he judge and not us? That was the whole point.
Hurk, I just thought you came into this thread seeming a little too disgruntled... that's it.
