I sincerely hope they were doing that was 100% sarcasm. I did like the name "Nintenball" though

8/22/2005 10:39:39 AM

hah i didnt even consider them to be sarcastic. I guess I missed that. In that case I really hope they are kidding cause that is some shit.

8/22/2005 12:12:56 PM

i think nintendo will deliver when it comes to the controller.

it wont be some crazy nintendoball, but it will be innovative

8/22/2005 1:38:28 PM

^I concur. It really has to be something innovative if they are keeping it so tightly under wraps. That and they probably want to generate hype about it.

8/22/2005 1:52:31 PM

They always seem to have hype about their controllers and dont show all the functions at conferences. Thats not to say I was disappointed with the GC controller, I love it. However this one better well blow away anything we've seen before otherwise its a waste of hype.

8/22/2005 2:26:28 PM

all i want is a usable d-pad.

8/22/2005 4:55:33 PM

I don't think Nintendo is gonna make a one handed controller. Games like F-Zero and Super Smash Brothers are way too fast for one hand to control. They will have one "controller" that can be "split" so you can hold one part of it in each hand?

8/22/2005 8:54:46 PM

i think the way you hold it will change. the two pronged parallel symmetric look is out imo.

8/22/2005 9:39:20 PM

The stand looks stabalized to me.

They did this just to give it a good gangster lean

there

8/22/2005 9:53:00 PM

The controller will have a built in microphone and touchpad like the DS.

8/22/2005 10:00:32 PM

It'll be like a transformer where you can shift it different ways depending on what you're playing.

6 button config for fighting games

"keyboard & mouse" combo for shoot-em-ups

and etc...









okay, so it's probably not true, but that would be soooo cool.

8/22/2005 10:10:58 PM

Seriously the touchpad and mic will be on there. That is why Peter Monyleux (however you spell his name) was impressed with it. His game Black and White relies heavily on using your mouse to draw shapes to issue commands. Granted these aren't the two things featured on the pad but I'll bet anyone that this is Nintendo's big secret.

8/22/2005 10:16:02 PM

Oh yeah and force feedback might be another addition.

[Edited on August 24, 2005 at 4:00 PM. Reason : she'll be the one controlling the revolution]

8/24/2005 4:00:40 PM

just one button: WIN

8/24/2005 4:01:27 PM

someone give me new information. or else.

8/29/2005 11:12:29 AM

AH
CHICKS WOULD LOVE THE NINTENDBALL

because girls always think that moving both arms and the controller side to side will help
especially when playing driving games

8/29/2005 11:28:41 AM

^ Haha, along those lines, I think they should develop the "Air Ninroller." Its like the Air Guitar. With the Air Nintroller, you too can be God.

"Controller is held in one hand. Attachments in the other. Attachments connect to the bottom of the controller. Iwata shows analog stick attachment. Thinking about packing Revolution with the main controller and attachment, Iwata says. Controller acts like a mouse in real-space 3D. Pefect for FPS games! Future attachments planned. "

omg I'm so excited

this controller will allow me to explore new levels of arm-waving while I am playing

9/15/2005 11:07:29 PM

I'll admit that I'm intrigued by the whole "waving your hand affects stuff" concept.

However, it looks as though that the controller is wireless. That means it's gonna have a battery inside. Is that really wise? What happens when you're in the middle of a game and then you have to stop because the controller needs recharging?

9/16/2005 12:34:12 AM

gamecube had a wireless controller. ive used it forever and have never changed the battery in a lonnnnng time

Apparently the power this machine will have will be similar to a "suped up XBox." Or about 2-3 times as powerful as a Gamecube. "Basically, take a GameCube, double the clock rate of the CPU and GPU and you're done." So, it simply will not have the horsepower that 360 and ps3 have, period. The discs can store 4.7GBs on a single layer or 8.5GBs when double-layered. But, it could launch as low as $99 and shouldnt be any higher than $149.

It better not cost too much considering the power they're putting in this thing. They'll make up for it with the damn shotgun-controller accessories if they ever come out with it. I'm so for some Resident Evil action if they actually do the shotgun.

I still can't wait to get me some Resident Evil action with the new controller.

1/19/2006 11:00:36 AM

^Is Capcom even thinking of porting the RE series to this new system?? I mean I really hope they do.

1/20/2006 11:45:44 PM

I would hope they would. Considering the possibilities with the new controller and how it'd integrate with their gameplay system they'd at least give it a thought. At the very least I think they'd port it even if its ported to the other 2 systems. Wishful thinking on my part.

1/21/2006 12:08:48 AM

From an IGN interview with some guy from NubyTech (value controller maker)

Quote :

"IGN: Well, we all hope to be swinging that chainsaw some time down the road come Resident Evil Revolution or whenever... we look forward to it. Chen: Well Resident Evil 5 (Editor's Note: PS3 and Xbox 360 exclusive thus far): We are looking forward to it, but we're going to be looking at a unique device for that one. More specific to Resident Evil 5… so we'll see. IGN: Well thank you very much for your time, and we'll keep in touch. "
