Nintendo "Revolution" Controller

[Kweepa]

just noticed the POWER button is in the worst place possible if you use it like a nes controller. Hope you can disable it or something.

It's only a prototype. I'm sure they'll move it if it's a problem.
Notice that it's recessed though.

I'm sold... send me one out right away

Thast thing looks friggin amazing. I can't wait to be able to use one. but will nintendo make a decent machine to go with this control, and also what about games.

I imagine zelda and games like mario tennis will work very well. With the DS they put in a touch screen, but it wasn't really used all to well.

I definatly won;t go for a playstation 3 coz frankly the first two were utter crap, they constantly break, experience massive problems and always have turned me off with the controllers.

X-Box 360 was going to be my choice, but I think this video clip sold me

Nintendo's first party games are usually superb.

The way exclusive games are going, i'm going to have to get a ps3, xbox for xbox live friends and revolution for awesome

had a ps1 and 2 and neither have broken so i don't get all the moaning about sony stuff constantly breaking :p

I'd be interested in at least trying out some of the fighting games with the two-part controller.

I'm concerned about the wire length. Some of us get really involved, and well.. if you yank the controller apart or out of the adjoined socket mid-gameplay, that could suck a lot.
Maybe they'll just offer some kind of extension cord for the long-armed people out there.

I'm also wondering about how useless this would be for sidescrolling games. (Joust forever!) Even so, I'm very interested in the targeting accuracy and the learning curve on that. (I tend to take a long time to learn controlls)

... I'll probably end up with one in my house. And watching someone else use it.
