Confirmed: revolution's revolution is not new controller

This is a huge relief for me.. I thought It was going to be just a new controller (ie: touchpad, gyros, whatever) and since they havent' even finalized the input device, the revolutionary part may infact be a revolution

Re: Confirmed: revolution's revolution is not new controller
 

Voice communications revolutionary? Unless they shove it down each developers throat requiring it, ala Microsoft and maybe Sony forcing each game to be online in some way, it doesnt feel as revolutionary but who knows. Maybe Nintendo will live up to the hype it made with their codename

Re: Confirmed: revolution's revolution is not new controller
 

So you're saying that because they haven't finalized the input device, it can't be the revolution? I don't know. It doesn't sound like any one thing is the revolution, rather a combination of things.

Re: Confirmed: revolution's revolution is not new controller
 

Yeah, this doesn't sound like any sort of confirmation to me.

By requiring games to be online, all a developer has to do is make it recognize your buddy list. That's why Fable says "live enabled". Requiring online isn't going to be that big of a deal.

Poor mutes...

If that was in response to me, I was just going off what I just read. Things change between now and it debut'ing at E3 or launching

Re: Confirmed: revolution's revolution is not new controller
 

It wasn't, but this is.

Re: Confirmed: revolution's revolution is not new controller
 

it was in response to me, but probably based off what I said, not what the article said.

I said "since they havent' even finalized the input device..."

the article said: "We have a number of candidates for a new interface but are not ready to reveal them..."

meaning they haven't decided what the input device will be, so I should have said "since they haven't even decided on an input device..."

I agree that not just one thing is revolutionary

but the MAIN thing obviously isn't the controller, which makes me happy,

What's more revolutionary than a built in popcorn maker?

Re: Confirmed: revolution's revolution is not new controller
 

I still believe the revolution is holographic technology. Or something 3D like that.

I mean, I'd be blown out of my mind with a virtual Gamecube Wind Waker. I mean, there's going to be backwards compatibility - maybe Gamecube games will play in 3D, and the revolution games will have the crazy control theme, wicked next gen graphics, and smellovision. Just like the difference between playing Gameboy Advance games on the DS, and playing DS games on the DS.

Re: Confirmed: revolution's revolution is not new controller
 

I bet it'll be graphics so real looking that you won't be able to tell that it's not real.

Re: Confirmed: revolution's revolution is not new controller
 

"yeah... that's the ticket.."

Iwata already said that the graphics would be improved but it's not the base of their "Revolution." A new interface and interactivity has been confirmed to be the Revolution... not graphics.

Re: Confirmed: revolution's revolution is not new controller
 

I still think it's the controller or another imput device. :p

Re: Confirmed: revolution's revolution is not new controller
 

I don't think there is a "main" part of revolution, unless we're going to say it's the wireless no-line play. The controller will be an important part of revolution no doubt.

Oh hot damn, I'd tap that and buy it :hump: :D
