SuvieD Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 It has been announced and displayed. Nintendo has revealed their big secret. I have looked at it and read up on the possibilties it could have. And though I am somewhat shocked I am also excited. I think this could really be something fun to use. A controller like this would fit in perfectly with games like Halo or Burnout. I can be used for games that computers play like Starcraft or Sim City because it is like a mouse pointer. And best of all it could be used to swing in sports games or even slach away in a Zelda game. Well, even if the price is somewhat high, the new Nintendo system is on my wishlist for 2006. Have any of you seen it? What do you think? Quote
Lost Viking Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 Just saw it today boy was I suprized :oD !!! I like it, great design and idea. And I also am definately getting it no matter what next year! Quote
languages Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 No....can you post an image for us? Quote
The Middleman Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 That is completely ridiculous. It looks like an electric shaver wired to a remote control. Quote
languages Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 Thats funky..... I still wil get an XBOX 360 though.... Quote
SuvieD Posted September 19, 2005 Author Posted September 19, 2005 Well, I am of the thought don't knock it until you try it. PS and XBOX are merely upgrading their systems not changing them. The controls are the same with a newer shape. I still can't stand dual analog controls or having to memorize what 16 buttons do in a game for each and every game you play. I am not yet sure how this will work but i will for sure give it a try. If it is nice I will get it. Quote
jonfett Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 I can see a lot of problems with this.. :/ Firstly people won't recognise it as a controller, and secondly you probably have to point it directly at the box to send a good signal, so some sore wrists will be occuring! ;) Jon. Quote
SuvieD Posted September 19, 2005 Author Posted September 19, 2005 IGN has the best info on the controller you should look there if you have any questions about it. It uses sensors so you can just point it in the general direction of the TV. I will have a more complex cradle similar to what the Gamecube comtroller looks like for newer games/more hardcore games. The whole idea of it is to get new gamers or older gamers who gave up on video games once they got too complicated to play them so I don't think the controller will be all that strange. Besides most people use a similar remote daily for the TV or dvd player. Most people will instantly feel somewhat familiar with it. Though it may have it's problems for sure. That is why I will wait to test it out. Quote
Cutty Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 I can almost see all the disturbed and disgusted faces of all the gamers....^^ I was ready for a surprise but I didn't expect funky remote controlled sex-toys *wacko* :-D :D Honestly? As long as one can control whatever moves on screen, it will fulfill its purpose. Though the GameCube has a high probability of being the last console I ever got. I WILL test this thing out though, as soon as cuttily possible ^^. Innovatively controlled greetings, Nintendo Cuttylution Quote
Zane Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 I have every belief that Nintendo will pull this off. I'm yet to read the full aspects, but I'm getting the Revolution whatever. End of. Quote
Cpt. Blackbeard Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Can you play Gamecube games on :/ :/ Most likely all get it anyway just becuase Animal Crossing 2 is coming on it ;) Quote
SuvieD Posted October 5, 2005 Author Posted October 5, 2005 They say you can Gamecube games on it. It has a little flip on the side so you can plug up to four GC controller in. Besides what would be the point of releasing a zelda game just a month or so before the Revolution if half of the peole couldn't play it? So it must be able to play GC games. It is free online super smash that I am looking forward to. Quote
Zane Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 It'll play GC games, but for other consoles you have to buy and download em. Quote
prateek Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 its is the ugliest thing ever. i change my mind a might get PS3 instead Quote
SuvieD Posted October 21, 2005 Author Posted October 21, 2005 Boomerangs for you then. And a big bill too >:( I will enjoy playing my games for free online with my standard wireless cradle* and with the $200 or more I saved buying a Nintendo product I will go out for a steak dinner and get the a few sets of the new LEGO star wars. *satis* I am just giving you a hard time. Don't take it too personally. ;) *for those who haven't read up on the new controller, there will be a basic craddle that fits over the current controller that is designed like the newer systems for more advanced games and additional buttons for more options.
