Good point, but don't think so. Is it a good thing to issue the Rev with NES, SNES and N64 style controller bundled in? Fine with the first two, but a N64 one could be too big if it looks like the original one. I doubt it. Theres a possibilty, I guess, that we could get a 'retro' controller that is designed to resemble the NES, SNES and N64 controllers, but I think they'll be combined into one. I doubt we'll get 4 controllers in the box. |

A lot of people tend to think that the Rev controller will be gyroscopic or have a touch pad, but I'm skeptical about both of those. The only reason people speculate about them is because Nintendo seems to have filed patents that describe them. But Nintendo has already used those two specific technologies: the touch pad/screen with the DS, and the gyroscopic sensor in Wario Ware: Twisted! Why wouldn't those patents be specifically for those products?
If the Rev controller does use either of those technologies, then it can't be revolutionary because we already have them.
Me, I think Nintendo may have something up their sleeves that the rest of us haven't considered yet, and out of desperation for information, we're scraping the bottom of the barrel and adding whatever we want on top of it. All we really know for certain is what Reggie Fils-Aime said at E3: that the controller will be able to handle games from systems that had different controllers.
I could be wrong, but I don't want to jump to any conclusions just yet. What do you guys think?

Maybe there'll be new ways of pressing buttons... A controller that is to be put on the ground and be controlled by our feet? Or a newly designed directional pad? We don't know.

You mean the NES Power Pad and N64 analogue stick?

Ya. Other than these and tilt and gyro sensors, can you think of any other thing that controls the direction - which has to be special (don't answer me that a keyboard can be used), easy to use and not costly.

PSI power, as tested in EarthBound?

Toast. Spread in the right direction to move, take a bite to attack. See, fits perfectly with Nintendo's new philosophy: "Sure, Microsoft and Sony think their consoles will be the centre of your living room, but are their consoles the centre of your kitchen? The revolution is in you kitchens"

Don't be silly... everyone knows that a toast-based interface would be crummy!

Too expensive for one. After you eat up a controller you need to buy a new one.

I'm glad this isn't official. God knows how horrible it would be to have SEPERATE PARTS to a controller.  |

It is the fact that there ARE actually controller that are seperated... but it's not this terrible.
So what are the example? Let's see...
On some PC shooters, you use the mouse to attack and use the keyboard to reload, change weapon, etc.
On some driving games, you use your hands for the main control but, to make players feel like they're driving, an additional part is added for they to use their feet to accerater and break.
On the Nintendo DS, The touch screen and the stylus are seperated.
And buttons + Touch Screen combination as well. You know, when you play Metroid Primt Hunters: First Hunt, you are actually using your two hands to hold two seperate part: Nintendo DS and stylus.
The game goes for PDA games.
So you see? It's not terrible. It's just that the design posted up here is EXTREMELY horrible, and will surely make gamers not to buy it.
