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)

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]

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

[DarrenMcLeod]

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]

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.

[Stonecutter]

I'm guessing there's going to be two camps on this thing.

The "OMGWTFBBQ THAT THING SUCKS!!!!!!11!" camp. IE, the "Celda" camp.

and

The "I JUST CAME IN MY PANTS IT'S SO BRILLIANT" camp. IE, half this board

Personally, I don't hate it. In fact I think it's kinda cool, but what the hell third party is going to want to make games for the Rev? Games are going to have to be built for that thing from the ground up, and, unless the userbase is huge, nobody's going to do that when they can build for the 360 and easily upport it to the PS3.

A.W.E.S.O.M.E!

Hideo Kijoma seems to like it. if the creator of MGS digs it, that's all that needs to be said:

Iwata also presented a select number of Japanese developers to discuss their feelings related to the controller - most notably Konami's Hideo Kojima, creator of the Metal Gear series, who told the audience that his initial reaction to the controller was simply to exclaim, "You've done it!"

"Even though it was a surprise to me at first, I quickly understood how it should be used," he commented. "This is exactly what I was looking for."

[Dyne]

I love Kojima.

[GameMaster]

This is the most innovative and amazing gaming device of the decade, HANDS DOWN.

The next generation console race is already over. Here you go Nintendo, the gold trophy for Revolution. Congratulations on blowing the competition completley apart into tiny little pieces.

Any next generation console with a conventional controller = pwned to the max, obsolete, worthless trash.

[Typhoid]

I see many a childs face smacked, and many a lawsuit filed.

[Crash]

better than many a 12 year old shouting racial profanities on xbox live....

how many law suits from that?
