Mercifull Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I could be wrong but you should really just post this on the other thread http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?p=2140408#2140408 People are currently talking about the controller on there.

cluck Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 It look unique idea but it's probably bad idea because some people usually move their joypad for all times while play games. Also one handed probably not best balance in the air than two handed joypad. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also i like to wrap my duvet around myself when im playing a single player game. this controller would fail to work properly in this scenario :( Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

Anyway i'd expect Game developers to like the controller. I'm just not sure that it'll work in various games, and it'll just be a novelty that'll be blow over. Nintendo are taking a big risk here, I would have preferred an unoriginal controller, at least its tried and tested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RebelAssassin Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Unless Nintendo want Sony and Microsoft to dominate the FPS 'market' they will have to make a 'normal' control, unless the old GC ones are compatable. www.PETAkillsanimals.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianbur Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 The Nintendo DS' touchscreen was thought of to be just a novelty. Now look at it. You could say it still is. Not one game has really used its potential, and the best game on DS, Advance Wars doesn't make much use of its features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one game has really used its potential, and the best game on DS, Advance Wars doesn't make much use of its features. Metriod Prime: Hunters will use\uses it. The touchscreen is great for FPS. WarioWare uses it greatly for its minigames, so do the minigames in Super Mario 64 DS. I figure it'll be useful in Animal Crossing DS for typing messages. In Nintendogs it is also very useful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use your GameCube pads on the new Nintendo console too, if I am correct. Also, I am sure Nintendo brings it out with something that makes FPS gakes easier, more fun w/e, they're not really stupid, of course. :) Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!

____ Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 @Ianbur: Been to an arcade lately? Other than lacking tilt/yaw sensativity a lot of fps arcade games are pretty much similar (input periferal wise) to the Revolution. So if you want a 'tried and tested' type of controller, they've already been around for a long time. Nintendo just added some extra functionality to it... @RebelAssassin: The Revolution does have jacks for the GC controllers (for backward compatability, duh) so...

Barihawk Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 The article also says that the remote can plug into more conventional controllers.

Adam007 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 It looks good, but I can't make any real judgement until I see how it is used in a game. Either way, I'm taking the Nintendo road. I doubt the jumping up and down thing would be a problem, it's probably not designed that way, and Nintendo probably had that in mind. And for games designed for multiconsoles, Nintendo did say they are releasing a controller attachment like the gamecube's in style. I'm just hoping it will come packaged in with the system or controllers you buy. Not for my own sake, but for the survival of this system so it doesn't go overly off the track compared to the other 2 systems. Just gotta hope this round N will actually catch up in sales.

ShakaKhan70 Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 If I got a Revolution I would deffinetly get that controller attachment, its scary to think about the motions my free hand might make if its not wrapped around a controller :shock: .
