Are you f'n kiddin me? That might change my decision about the Revolution.

I have been a Nintendo guy since the original Nintendo, but I may go PS3 with the next-generation of consoles. That just seems all out of whack. Surely, they will have alternatives of some sort.

Thanks for posting this, as I've been wondering what it would look like.

My comments,

from my blog :
Having watched the video and read a few articles, I've softened up a little. It may in fact be very cool. But I don't see it being very good for sports games at all. Madden, for example, requires a ton of buttons to be mashed to play well. Tiger Woods would be awesome, but I don't think the controller can measure over the range of a full swing. And so on… Clearly Nintendo is not interested in pursuing the "same old, same old" (and they've said that several times now), but is this too much of a departure? Will they lose their user base and alienate customers and third-party developers? Nobody's going to port games from the PS3 and XBox 360 to this thing because the controller requires such a different approach.

I'm undecided. I like how they're trying to innovate, but i'm just wondering if they're trying too hard. As long as they include a standard controller I'll buy one.

It seems like all of the consoles are going for a futuristic type of styling.........EXCEPT Nintendo. **ring ring** "Hi, yes, ok." Hey Nintendo, that was 1993 calling, they want their controller back. Anyone notice that the joystick is the exact same from the N64? I hate leftovers.

Im sticking with Sony I think.

That doesn't seem to make any sense... you've managed to get things exactly 100% backwards.

BTW, I found this amusing:
This week's question: Nintendo has stressed time and again that Revolution's most innovative element is its still-unshown controller. However, what's to stop competitors from simply copying the device?

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂
