DEMO: METROID PRIME-TIME
Nintendo saved the best for last. This was the first section of the GameCube game Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, retrofitted to be compatible with the Revolution controller and its analog add-on piece (the "Nunchaku" set-up mentioned earlier). As on the Cube the analog stick controls movement, but instead of holding down a button to look around, you simply point the other controller in the direction you want to aim.
IMPRESSIONS: At first, I was standing up and swinging my hand all around to aim - and my arms got really tired really quick. But once I sat down and relaxed, resting my hands on my legs as I would with a normal controller, everything clicked. It wasn't perfect yet - the Revolution controller functionality had just been added recently and wasn't bug tested or polished, so every so often the view would "spaz out" for a couple seconds - but it was enough to get me excited. As odd as it may look holding the two separate controller pieces, one in each hand, looking around felt incredibly natural, even more than my preferred PC-style keyboard-and-mouse setup. I have to wonder about precision and speed in multiplayer games, but for a more deliberate single-player game like Metroid Prime - and the series is already confirmed for an appearance on the Revolution - this setup already has huge potential. Hell yeah.
Dammit, this thing is the goofiest looking controller ever but I can't wait to play around with it.Comment

Can you attach a mouse to the thing?“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Well you know I'll give you this
It looks very different
Personally this looks like a good step - controllers have been the same ever since the first NES one, they just cram more buttons on every new release...the XBOX controller was just plain silly IMO.meet the new boss, same as the old bossComment

Yep, goodbye Nintendo."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Seems like this is going to get some good third-party support. EA, Campcom, Ubisoft, and Konami to name a few are all excited about the controller and plan on making games that take full advantage of it.Comment

The same people who make Gamecube games?
Standard PR...of course the companies are going to say they're excited, they have a business relationship with Nintendo.
Ever read a press release before?"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Reading more about the device confirms my original opinion.
A gimmick -- it's this generation's light gun. Nifty for a while but quickly forgotten by the players.
Nevermind the difficulties of using the controller as intended in multiplayer games, and nevermind the lack of buttons on the thing..."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Looks interesting. I'll have to try a demo before shelling out money for it but it could work.I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara

It could work but it is certainly not fit for the primary controller.
It ought to be a peripheral like a light gun..."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

While I applaud Nintendo for experimenting...I don't think this will work well. It seems as though the controller is too intrusive into the gaming experience...I don't see being able to really relax with a motion sensitive controller."In the beginning was the Word. Then came the ******* word processor." -Dan Simmons, HyperionComment

Bingo, it's simply "too much work"..."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
