That is the most retarded thing I have ever seen. It looks like a tv remote and a pong controller

. People were making fun of Ps3 controller but this is hilarious

Holy crap, this forum is going to be blazing tommarow...it's 11pm right now where i am this will be priceless.

Can you say sore wrist? I can't imagine playing a FPS for more than a hour before my hand would get tired. I mean, think of all the waiving your going to have to do. I am sorry Nintendo, you shot for the moon, but landed in the stars with this one.

**wahey42** · 09-16-2005

I don't want to post less then five words but all I have to say is "HORRID!!"

I already have enough remotes as it is, I want a controller not another TV remote!!!

(Hoping) Maybe they will have a regular controller too.
And another thing how will this work with backwards compatibility, I dont think it will.
Maybe the GC controllers will lug in like some people were thinking. idk guess we just have to wait and see.

LOL IT COMES IN COLORS! THAT's HILLARIOUS

**homer** · 09-16-2005

I am going to be laughing at all the nintendo freaks until I find out for sure it will be good

; I can't stop laughing at this revolutionary remote controller.

**homer** · 09-16-2005

That is the most reolutionary thing I have ever seen

**Smily0012** · 09-16-2005

Your need to grow up. First of all you will be able to use the controller for every single system nintendo made. Secondly, why is it funny. I bet you that sony nor ms would have ever taken a chance on something like this.

**homer** · 09-16-2005

it is a Tv remote for gods sake

**Perfect Sin** · 09-16-2005

Everyone expected something like a cross-breed between the 360 controller and the PS3 controller..and then...a tv remote with a wire connecting it to mouse with a joystick in it...dunno it just struck me as something weird.

I'd rather have a TV remote than a boomarang.

**wahey42** · 09-16-2005

The small A and B buttons on the right hand side are very much out of reach, I doubt they will be used much.

Seriously, look at the cotroller, you have to hold 2 diffrenet pieces one in each hand; I am sure after just an hour of game play your hand will get tired. ( maybe I am wrong but regardless of how many nes systems you can play with this remote controller, I feel nintendo should have stuck to a more traditional controller, this thing is way ahead of its time) IMO

**Smily0012** · 09-16-2005

Yo put it this way, this is the conroller the next gen needed. I hope it makes sony and ms reconsider their future creations. Its like the tansition from joy stick to controller, revolutionary back in the days, now its just from controller to motion sensors.

**Perfect Sin** · 09-16-2005

I WANT MINE IN RED...no doubt if i carried around a picture of that thing and didn't tell them what it was, i think they'd think it was some kind of iPod.

**mintrieri** · 09-16-2005

Wow. How anti-climactic is that! Ok, you can plug things into it to increase the functionality, but the XBOX 360 controller can do that! Why did Nintendo say it didn't want to reveal this 'because it is easily copied'? I'm glad the ports on the Revolution are still the same for the GameCube because I'd much rather use that one!

Oh my god! I don't think I'm going to be able to sleep tonight!

EDIT: Ok, I was shocked at first, but now that I've read a little more about the 3D mouse tracking, it may have something to offer.

**su37su** · 09-16-2005

You guys joke about it all you want but Nintendo is evolving much faster then sony and M$
so in about 10 yrs nintendo will come up with some thing amazing. while M$ and Sony just upgrade there hardware and let everting stay the same.
BTW i have nothing agains any system I am getting all 3 when they Launch.

Yeah but the joystick was one piece of hardware and so was the controller that replaced joystick; Hence it was not a big transition for a gamer. This on the other hand has two piece; the only other gaming unit that has 2 pieces of hardware is PC gaming and with pc gaming at least you have a desk or some thing to rest your key board and mouse on and you don't have to hold them in your hand. Yes I have not held this controller in my hands yet, but I can tell you this I don't see me getting use to this new bred of controllers any time soon.

**mintrieri** · 09-16-2005

It's interesting that the two pieces are 'wired'. I thought the point was to free us from wires!

EDIT: I know Nintendo wants to pull in the extremely casual gamer, but I think the analog stick set-up looks even more intimidating than a standard conroller.
