Looks alot like a TV control to me. I guess Nintendo are really going for the unorhodox and alternative route then.

Stupid IMO, I bet it's going to be real hard to play with an TV remote looking control.

I am sure that was sort of said about aload of other innovative stuff ... *tries to think of an example *

[Pico]

Seriously, a TV remote looking control doesen't give you the feeling of that you are playing a console game, it gives you the feeling that you are watching a play.

Watch it be a hit ^^

Pointing the controller to the tv or slamming it like a baseball bat gives a pretty revolutionized feeling. It's seriously thinking outside the box, and I'm gonna probably give it a try.

No, it won't be a hit. People won't like it, it is too awkward. I won't buy Revolution for that reason.

[Yitter]

Maybe a bit too outside the box. =\

Damn right. They're being too bold with this decision. The controller is important. The ps3 controller looks stupid, the Reolvution controller looks like complete crap, and the Xbox 360 controller? Looks decent, probably not even as good as the S Type from the first Xbox.

[Hector]

First off, Xbox's controller is just as bad as the old one. It's just to random.

The PS3 controller? It's the same thing. It may LOOK different but if you hold it, it feels the same, just slightly larger.

The Nintendo revolution controller is the first major step in TRUE virtual gaming.

I for one can't wait to try it out. It's something new and fresh which keeps Nintendo in the game. You just can't beat Nintendo. And this coming from a PS supporter.

And this is coming from the worlds greatest XBL player, takes notes immediately. I'd agree that this is just a little too weird and unorthodox for my liking, it is like making a phone with the screen on the back instead of the front, it can be done, it is interesting but isnt ergonomic nor is it user friendly.

This is going to be great. It'll take a while getting used to but it does look danr sexy! :headphone

Yeah, as I said, the controllers all look a little "too" next generation for me. I mean, ps3 looks like a friggan boomerang, 360 looks like a wannabe S type, and Nintendo.. I can't even call that a controller. O_o

[Yitter]

The PS3 and X360 controllers next-gen? You just said yourself that the x360 controller looks like the xbox one and the PS3 a boomerang. The PS3 was just enhanced on the wrong spaces of the old controller, the rest is all the same. At least the NRev controller is next-gen.

Yeah, but it's next generation crap. It's a remote control and half of a controller with a joystick hanging on it. Imagine how LAME that would look in Multiplayer Split Screen? "LOL LOOK AT US WITH OUR REMOTES PRESSING VIOLENTLY AT THE SCREEN"
