I love it, of course, but saying that now you all probably think that I love it blindly. No, when I first saw it I though "what the fuck?!" It was a real shock, but as I started to think about HOW it would work, based upon what we've been told, I can see so much portential for new kinds of gaming as well as making a lot of traditional games a lot better. There is good reason to doubt it, but if it does prove itself and I think it will, it'll do great things for the industry.

I'm in-between at the moment. I can see this controller making my game experience much more inter-active. Just imagine playing Zelda on with that controller and swing the sword around with that controller. That would be pretty cool. One of the downfall I see to this controller is will I be comfortable using it? It's different from any controller ever released on console before. So, not sure if I'll like how it feel yet or not.

A lot of people have gone for the "swinging sword" idea, and while it seems like a good idea it forms too many problems that may never be solved until the next jump in interface technology. Recently Miyamoto-san had said that the Zelda after Twilight Princess will be played in a way that no one has played before. Again, people are thinking sword swinging, but knowning Miyamoto-san, it'll be far from that and a lot more benefitial for actual gameplay.

Also, there have been a number of developers and media sources who have tried out the Revolution controller and they report that the controller is extremely accurate and very sensetive, so while the promo video showed people swinging their arms all over the place, that's not actually how it's done. The controller can be used with little to no effort. Plus it's very small, it doesn't look small because it seems long but it is XD The shape is very good, a angular, curved triangle of sorts which means it's perfect for human hands.

Though, in the end, looking at from Nintendo's point of view, it's a move in a direction of being different and new. The current path Nintendo was flowing would just end up with them being gone from the console business sooner or later. Release another generic controller along with generic games would lead them where? A nice spot in dead last behide Microsoft and Sony. Meaning Microsoft and Sony are getting majority of the sales, not Nintendo. I still believe this good move on Nintendo's part, but only time will tell if this was the correct move to make or not.

Well by the way the Nintendo DS is doing around the world, Nintendo is defiantely on the right track.
