Revolution controller at TGS?

[Darwock]

Yeah I can see it now, Nintendo will give every fan a little dollop of poo that they are expected to put in their mouths and swill around for a bit while looking at pictures of Mario.

That South Park episode with the weird bike/car type thing, controlled by a big stick up your ass, springs to mind......

No touch screen, cause you'll wirelessly link your DS for touchcreen functions in games (fire spell? draw a square etc)

because that will be SO user friendly

i find ds games hard enough to control as it is (mario, splinter cell, metroid, but not the wonderful another code, the mighty stylus does everything) and the thought of having to take my hands of the rev pad to perform some ****ty task on my ds in an action game gets right up my nose

especially when it will be stupid mario baseball games that will use that functionality

if i'm playing a game i want the controller to become an extension of my body and is something i can manipulate to make pretty things happen on the screen. nintendo may get this right with tilt stuff and all those other predictions but having to take my hands off the controller in the middle of the game to draw a shape or point at something on my ds is just annoying and breaks immersion when your ds falls between the cushions of your sofa or your girlfriend sits on it and causes your character to leap up bowser's anus

I'm not botherd about the controler, and not expecting much from it. More interested in what Mario going to be like on the Rev. Nobody makes a better platform games than NCL

chopemon-

I think there's lots of potential for DS-to-Rev linkup. But not for single player. If we had to use a DS as a straight-up controller, we'd have to think about three screens at once!

Rather, I think it could open some very interesting multiplayer possibilities. Think of Wind Waker, and how a second player could use a GBA to drop bombs and so on. That could be taken so much further now everything's wireless

I can imagine four players, deathmatching in splitscreen... and a fifth person connecting to the console via DS. That person could then play god with the other players... tinkering with the game mid-match, using the stylus to spawn in enemies, etc. Excellent!

RIGHT UP...

Whats the prob though, you could take those off and use the d-pad?

[randombs]

it'll be a big ball made of glass that you touch in different places to do stuff, like those lightning orbs you can buy at argos.

as for the controller requiring certain buttons/sticks in order to provide backward compatibility with the older stuff as i've heard some people ask, surely the four gamecube controller ports will handle that? the cube has enough buttons to handle nes, snes and n64 games with ease

[Kieran76]

It will be an Ocarina, you alter movement by playing a different tune.

An u shud be able to use the Hori "Retro" pads for the older stuff anyway

[Tig]

Yeah, but the original "What controller could play all past Nintendo games?" comment was a hint dropped by some Nintendo big cheese

[Ouenben]

It'll have a analouge stick, 4 face buttons, a Z trigger, a "feel" pad, a dial (goes up and down), and it'll be weird looking and come come apart and stick back in different forms and stuff.

And it will probably have gyroscopic control and have a cup holder

zaki you crazy git

mind you, if there's a pad that'll get girl-gamers interested, this is it

although i can see the arguments about nintendo being for kids chucked out the window...
