By the way everyone before you disc the controller it is actually VERY AWESOME. You may jump to the conclusion that it has no buttons and you really can't do anything with it but that is really far from the case. So far what they made is a prototype and could be changed. As of now it has 4 buttons aside from the select button, start button, home button, and the d-pad. That might seem bad and it would be if that was it. It has tilt-sensitivity and also works like a light gun so you can point it at the screen in certain spots. It also has a hook up that makes it look like a nunchaku along with a wavebird-ish type of controller it can plug into on top of that. You could play first person shooters (FPSs) with it with the nunchaku hook-up. On the nunchaku it has a analog stick and another trigger. The control stick could be compared to the left analog stick on an xbox controller and the trigger on it compared to the left trigger. Then the actual unit you could use to aim and fire with. The wavebird-ish dock they showed could be more conventional for other gamers. It's almost identical to the wavebird. Think about it, you could have awesome sword games on it where you play as a samurai or even a jedi. If I understand Electronic Gaming Monthly right the main controller also has a sensor so the revolution knows where the controller is in relation to the revolution. If thats true they could port arcade games like mocap boxing, police 911, or that mocap samurai game that came out in Japan. That would be amazing and require no extra equipment! You'd even get a workout! Pretty much when it comes to if this is a a revolution or not it's up the developers. They have the power to make or break this system. The same goes with any system but it's all the more important here. Everyone needs to be open-minded.

i really think the revolution is going to be better than the ps3 or xbox360. the only real thing new about the xbox or ps3 is the better graphics, really. while the revolution sounds like it's actually trying to be something completely different. and the emulation is just a huge plus.
the only thing i dont understand, is how you'll be able to play the old n64 and nes games and such with the new revo controller.

*sigh*
As for the NES games, you can simply turn the "remote controller" sideways and it is almost an exact replica.
For other games, the controller will be able to slip into a "shell"

if you turned the controller sideways, on the d-pad wouldn't up be left, down be right, left be down, and right be up?

yeah if you were playing Xbox or something. But when you have a cotnroller that "knows" which way it is facing in relation to the TV it is NOT hard for it to remap the buttons to match the sideways direction. duh!!

Man I hate the way every one say's the only difference is graphics, they are totally wrong, but no one corrects them because they say they are open minded but are really biased toward nintendo. If I said that about nintendo's controler being the only difference every1 would jump down my throat. Listen, the 360 is going to have (and im'e 99.9% sure of this) better internet capabilities than the rev, thats a big deal considering the popularity of internet games like world of warcraft and counter strike which i have both played and loved. Y will it have better net capabilities? simply because microsoft concentrated on the net functions and... it's microsoft! of all companies they should know how to produce a wicked net experience on their console. Right second point you can download and play classic and new arcade games like geometry wars on 360, which i couldn't download of the net but I could download nearly every nintendo game off the internet ... for free aswell. Next the ps3 has the eye toy camera evey1 seems to ignore that, I had the original eye toy and thought it was guna be shit but it actually worked suprisingly well, Did u see ps3's demonstration of the guy moving the cups on screen via the camera? How's that for innovation, just think of the games u could create with that, in fact the possibilities are even more varied than that of the rev's controler but no 1 seems to point that out.
So no the difference isn't just graphics, yes they have better graphics which can only be another plus but u can't say thats the only plus.

yeah... well see how far that goes with the PS3...
The last I heard about eyetoy speculation for the PS3 was in 2003.

If first party clasic games will be free for download then dont you think that nintendo, to save server space/lag, would just pre package it with the rev.? I know NES carts are 100kb to 300kb but the N64 there 16mb to 128mb. Also, looks like nintendo has found a good way to sell memery cards.

ohhh, i see that now. but then if you're holding it sideways, won't your hand be covering the wireless sensor at the top? which will now be the left side? ahhh whatever. i'm sure nintendo'll have it working right.

so what else is new about the xbox360 or ps3 besides graphics and/or processing power? all i've ever seen about either of them has been the 'all-important' specs.

It's like asking whats new with the revolution?
It has more power than gamecube.
It has better graphics than gamecube.
Prove me wrong??
Yea, it has a remote controller thats wireless, but ps3 changed there controller aswell. And the 360 controller is changed aswell. Both being wireless.
So, what else is new about revolution?
Being able to previos generation games, which the ps3 and xbox360 can aswell.
-Not so much with the 360 ,but the ps3 can play 3000+titles
Obviosly games are going be new
This is the first time that a nintedo consol(not handheld) has internet, and a good use for it. But what games are you going to play online? Like mario? Not many new games. I predict all the old nintendo characters all over again.
-revolution will play dvd's now, but ps2 and xbox already can.
-Revolution has added things that sh ould of been added to the gamecube.

Obviosly not, the 360 controller has signals that can go through walls, same with ps3. Your hand isnt going to do nothing.

i dont know man. super smash brothers online? definitely. and i'm sure that now that nintendo finally has internet, there'll be a lot more games to play online. ssbm never gets old. and online playing? thats enough for me.

i have to agree with you there. the gamecube definitely was the worst of the three. people should have known that before they bought it. i mean, the name says it all. 'gamecube' and what does it do? only games. i'm glad some random relatives bought it for my family for christmas, or else i probably never would have owned one.
but the new controller itself is already something that nobody has ever seen. sensing directions. i see it having some awesome potential.

Lol, i think it would be really funny to hear mario talk constintly. It will sound so funny, in my opinion. "lets a go"
Yea super smash bro online will be awsome, i think its a decent game for nintendo.
I'm getting a revolution anyways because of its low low price.

yeah. that's why I think that it'll sell so well. because it'll be so much easier for people to pay $100-$150 (what i've heard) just to see what it can do rather than something like $500 or more for the ps3.
online ssm will extend gameplay longevity a whole lot. it gets a bit boring beating the crap out of my little brothers over and over.

try 200-300$
and 350-450 for ps3=p
The ps2 currently is 100$.
rev isnt goign to cost as much as a ps2. Lol, The max i think the rev will got is 300$. least would be 200$.
Even the n64 was more than 150$. It was like 200$ or 240 wasnt it?
Revolution will deffenetly not go for 100$ nor 150$. It will obviosly go to about 200$+

nintendo will easily be able to sell at around $150 because the fact they are only making a gaming console, not a multimedia centre unlike sony and MS with their HD and all that. makes perfect sense, let the console do wot it does best and let other pieces of hardware do its own job.
this way they also get a lot more profit as well, so it works out great for us as the consumer and the company itself.
everyone is happy :D

I heard nintendo is still holding out on more info about the rev controller. We've learned that the controller is tilt sensitive. But knowing nintendo, they keep big secrets for last. They told us 1st that the DS had 2 screens while saving the touchscreen factor for later.
So hold your pants up and wait!
NO!

I believe soooo. Thing is, nintendo is hitting gold with that idea because lets face it, only a handful of people know about emulation. And emulators have serious issues these days. Ever seen how glitchy the n64 emulator is?
NO!
