Revolution Controller iz teh SuX0rz wtf?
keywords: nintendo, disappointment, despair
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought the Nintendo Revolution controller is s0 teh g4y!1!! Video gamers are not the most active people and the idea of holding ones hands at arms length in front of you for hours on end while swinging at stuff and keeping the left hand controller close enough for that 6 inch cable just doesn't sit well. Also there is going to be a flood of mundane life games to take advantage of this gimmick like virtually chopping food (from the promo clip). I could actually chop food for 1/1000th the price of the Revolution AND be able to eat the food when I'm done. And as for the controller skins to play the old Nintendo games, they did the impossible and made it even more uncomfortable than the original NES controller.
Enraged retro cartoon character/22-minute commercial, Captain N, puts it best:
“So I go from carrying a seven inch pistol [NES lightgun] to controlling fucking PowerPoint presentations? You know what? Fuck it. I’m just going to stuff a Virtual Boy in my underwear, start riding a Segway around town and just beg people to beat the shit out of me.”Besides, it's not the G-Rated game system that should be developing the one-handed controller. [don't pretend you don't know what i'm talking about]

I'm dissapointed in your dissapointment. It seems your basing all of your opinion on only half the story. This thing is not the end all beat all of controllers. It was never ment to be. Keep in mind the Revolution has 4 GC controller ports, and big N is developing a standard controller "wrapper" this thing slides into like the memory cards slide into the Xbox controllers. That will aid in fighting games and cross console games.
2 buttons should be more than enough, and I am actually looking forward to being able to controll link's sword, rather than just press a button. Oh well... big N was never your favorite anyway :-).
