The revolution is here ..

I couldn't imagine playing Super Smash Bros. (awesome game, esp on N64) with the motion sensitive controller.

Plus, what if you drop it in-game? You're completely screwed. Unless you figured out a way to win by tossing the thing back and forth across the room like a football. You could probably get some pretty cool moves...

What if you dropped a regular controler ? Eh .... ? Didn't think about that did you.

Wow Nintendo, good luck finding any 3rd party support for that monstrosity.




After looking at it, I'm definitely not getting this thing.

Yeah, that's why if you were following video games, you would have found many news about nintendo controller, where lots of 3rd parties shown HUGE interest in the revolution and its controller!

1. Care to name some?

2. Is is at much support as the PS3 or XB360 are getting?

Sure, few from them...
Capcom, Namco, Eletronic Arts and a last one Peter Molyneux (huge creator of crazy games, such as Dungeon Keeper and a loy of others who owns his own studio now!) which said : "There's a sentence at the end of the book game over "Never underestimate Nintendo""......

So, few examples of BIG names who will support the console....
Support is a thing, but it only depends on people choice for consoles....
Support is going with sales...If PS and XBOX are loosing sales, they'll loose support too!

3 consoles have the same support at the start, everytime there's a new console....
It's only changing after a year or two, depending on figures....
And I sincerely think, Nintendo games quality is not only why there are less sales! (I personnaly love it!)

I'm stoked for it personally. I plan on owning the revolution, possibly the PS3, but probably not. I'm not really a gamer, but I think there will be some cool things going on for the revolution. Maybe it will stink, but whatever, there will always be 3rd party controllers balancing out the equation. What's more, the revolution is going to support NES-Gamecube games. That's just radical.
 
I duno.. So what.. you move anywhere, it'l move on screen? I like the idea, but don't. I mean, what if your hand isn't very steady to start with.. Or you just randomly move your hand at a time that you don't want to? I know when I get into a game, I start moving the control around even when I don't mean to :D I think i'd prefer just to use a joystick IMO. I'd also prefer it if you still used two hands... I mean, what the hell are you meant to do with your other hand whilst playing?
