It also looks like this controller might be the easiest to lose of the new 3.

And the easiest to jam down someones throat while in a heated MarioKart argument.

And you could attempt to choke them at the same time with the itty-bitty chord.

I suspect Nintendo will have acessory things where you can plug a "modified to fit into Rev controller" N64, another for Snes, and maybe NES controller (and maybe beyond?

). Granted, it gets expensive but I think I'd go for N64/SNES at first and NES later if my mind is thinking like Nintendo is

WTF when did this happen? Where have I been?

bobcat · 09-16-2005, 01:05 AM

speechless...............maybe a good decision for Nintendo to aim for a new market that could never be grasped again......need more info !!!

Definitely the sexiest looking console of the 3......

Well the N64 did some great revolutionising, I'm sure the Revolution will do the same

It happened about an hour ago. I know how you feel. Don't worry.

Crash · 09-16-2005, 01:53 AM

personally I love this idea.....

like someone said, control links movement with the right remote, and the sword with the left

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crash · 09-16-2005, 01:59 AM

OMG the possibilities are endless!!!!

resident evil... one handle=flashlight, other one is a gun... point in different directions

link= sword fight gannon for real, shield in one hand, sword in the other. when you throw the boomerang, you throw it baby!

star wars - light saber battles where you're still is actually put to the test, not just button mashing

a first person shooter where you can melee someone with your weapon... (hold B and BLAAAM Biatch!)

point and shoot to aim (like a star trek phaser)

Jonbo298 · 09-16-2005, 02:10 AM

The video was very well done, IMO.

It surprises me they didn't also make the second "attachment" wireless also. Kinda feel weird maybe ot be tethered by that

Acebot44 · 09-16-2005, 02:15 AM

****ing brilliant. If only it could look cooler

DarrenMcLeod · 09-16-2005, 02:22 AM

Really innovative and awesome, and I'm quite excited... I just hope you can use the Cube controllers for sports games and such, as I'm not sure NHL will work with this set up.

I can't wait to see the first games. I guess we have to wait until E3? or maybe that October that he mentioned for WiFi...

Crash · 09-16-2005, 02:26 AM

nhl would work, but not the way you're used to playing it..

they had a demo where you use the controller as a stick and you can rotate it in your hand to control any which direction you pass, or shoot

that's much better instead of random make it miss it.

....No it isnt...

I would rather not have the dependancy of my shooting, passing, hooking, diving, slashing, and bodychecking rely on the tilt of my hand.

Buttons are so much easier...What if you cough? or sneeze? Or get one of those funky wrist twitches? That could make you screw up in any game?

What if you spend a lot of time on a game. You get to the end, you forget to save for a while, you're at the boss, you twitch, he kills you.
