Guest Jordan Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Well, first of all, why create a GC shell for the revolution? Why make a gc controller that you put the revo controller into. When you just can make an gc wavebird controller that can communicate with the Nintendo Revolution? Two problems: 1, the Wavebird runs on a different signal to the Revolution controllers and its picked up differently. 2, If they made a new joypad altogether this would mean it would bump up costs vastly. Selling just shells without reciever and less circut boards = less cost. If anything, this is a very smart move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daroh Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I personally can imagine the Rev controller being slotted in sideways into this "wavebird shell" thus positioning the Dpad to the left of the joypad and the buttons to the right. Having the revmote sticking out the end like really isnt very practical. Would mean the shell wouldnt be the same as the Wavebird, but I doubt they would do that anyway. By wavebird shell, I think they simply mean a wireless joypad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daroh Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 *sniggers at the sheer uglyness of it* Ok then, maybe not ;-) But you see what I mean though right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edjamakated Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 What the hell? Why do you care if it sticks out or not? I can garuntee you that it is not going to be top heavy at all since the battery and rumble is located at the bottom. Also, another reason for having it stick out of the top is that it points forwards. This could mean that games may use both the shell and the NRC.

Nintendork Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Thanks for making that image metrix.. That's what I was trying to describe. It's a stupid idea having it sideways, almost as stupid as the power supply unit to be blunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiemetriX Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I did not make that image. But you can thank me for finding it :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamba Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 It could be completely different. It only has to work as a pad. Honestly I really don't care that much as long as they solve the problems with the GCN pad. Oh and check this: http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=15119 The guy from Frontier doesn't even know about the shell. Fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
