VGcats hates the controller

"so what happens whenever you want to play a game and you dont want to get up and do the hula and dont want to use your old crappy gamecube controller. everyone got their cod liver oil tablets in large supply? your gonna need supple joints for this one." -- Isaac

 

You are obviously confused young one. Nintendo is making a "shell" that is reminiscent of traditional controllers seen today. The "wand" fits into the top of the "shell" so there are no dangling wires like the analague attachment has. This has another pro in its favor. Because the "wand" is fit in through the top, it's ability to sense tilt, turn, and depth is still functional.

 

So basically Nintendo created 4 different controllers:

 

1. The "wand"/remote.

 

2. The shell and "wand"/remote.

 

3. The "wand"/remote and the analogue stick attachment.

 

4. Two "wands" (which allows for some of the craziest ideas, like using the two as "drumsticks" on a virtual drumkit.)

 

Also, the technology is very sensitive. So much so, that most games would require but a flick of the wrist. All this can be done with your hands resting comfortable on your lap.

if nintendo were so confidant with their new controller they wouldnt have done dual compatibility

 

What a stupid thing to say, if they dont include a regular controller they would alianate to much of the 3rd parties games. When they came out with analog stick why they keep the d pad same with sony. Just cuz they have a regular controller add on its not that they lack confidence sorry if u see it that way.

IGN have posted a mock up of how they think the controller might look with the "wand" remote attached to the middle. Looks pretty darned sexy if I do say so myself. Shame no official images exist as yet.

That actually looks quite good, I like the way all of the buttons are still accessible through the controller. Notice IGN had taken the liberty of adding a second Z-button on the left hand side.

Who cares what one person says? Even a fool and his monkey can see that people will want to play this.

 

I bet the majority of people know about Dance Machine games, even non-gamers. The same will happen with Revolution because everyone can understand how it works. You move your arm, you move something on screen.

I think Scott is just refusing to believe it can be successful until he sees proof. Some people will go to great lengths to avoid potential disappointment. :heh:

 

Myself, I'm optimistic about the new controller... for one thing, many people I've talked to these past few days, of whom next to none owned a Gamecube and less than half played console games at all, just about everybody seemed very enthusiastic when I explained what the controller can do. And yes, these are the same people who never understood why ever anybody could want a Gamecube... and they love the Revolution concept.

 

Give the narrow-minded a few months to get used to the idea and couple in the fact that the new console is nether purple nor kiddy, and I think the optimism that many feel right now is well founded.

 

And if the controller can actually be used as a sex toy (which I doubt, since the rumble function seems to be in the remote-like part, but who knows for sure?), well, at least that's another step away from the kiddy image and towards a multimedia entertainment platform, eh? :grin:

So; It's ok for somebody to predict that it'll be awesome, but when somebody predicts it'll be crap, 'oh noes, I can't believe that-how can they say it'll suck-they haven't tried it'

 

Thats the thing none of use know if it'll be good/bad-we all have our own opinions, including scott, and we are all entitled to them, as at the moment, no one can say if we are right or wrong.

the problem is that they hate it for it's looks
