Yeah, I like the whole concept of being able to strap controllers to your limbs for different games. I think that would make for some really cool fighting or shooting games. I'm really hoping that this whole wireless controller thing pans out, cause it could mean some really amazing gaming. |

Hey, I just thought of something... strapping controllers to your limbs could make for the ultimate DDR game! No more slipping or defective pads, and you can breakdance.  |

Kirby, you FANBOY
Okay, now that it's been done once hopefully nobody else will waste our time with saying it again.
Anyways, I'm really looking forward to the posibilites of the revolution. In all honesty, not a single one of us here has any clue how they're going ot implement the controller, but there are definately great possibilities if it's done correctly. The final test is definately going to be how entertaining the games are, because really, that's what matters. And the posibility of using gamecube controllers gives developers a backup to use traditional control schemes in case they're warry about using the rev controler. |

This man is my god. It's about time someone with actual KNOWLEDGE of the system put people in their place. Though, I garuntee you'll be called a fanboy at least once for that  |

Nintendo has got all of the bases covered. Anyone who is worried is out of their mind. 
...
This is quite significant. When you think about it, the possibilities for control are so endless, it's not even believable.
Play NES games on Rev with: Revolution Controller + Control Stick Attachment, Revolution Controller Sideways, Revolution Controller as Remote, Revolution Controller + Shell, Standard GameCube Controller, Wavebird, GameBoy Advance (with GCN Adapter), GameBoy Advance SP (with GCN Adapter), Nintendo DS, HORI Controller
Play SNES games on Rev with: Revolution Controller + ABXY Buttons Attachment, Revolution Controller + Shell, Standard GameCube Controller, Wavebird, Nintendo DS, HORI Controller
Play N64 games on Rev with: Revolution Controller + Shell, GameCube Controller, Wavebird
Play GameCube games on Rev with: Revolution Controller + Shell, GameCube Controller, Wavebird
Play Revolution Games with: *deep breath* Revolution Controller + Control Stick Attachment, Revolution Controller Sideways, Revolution Controller as Remote, Revolution Controller + Shell, Revolution Controller Upside-down / Sideways and flipped / turned any way imaginable, 2x Revolution Controller (Dual Hand!), Nintendo DS, much much more...
Besides, with the expansion slot on the controller for attachments, the possibilities will always be endless because Nintendo can always make something new. Also, this keeps 3rd party controller companies from going out of business with the Nintendo camp because, since most can't create controller with gyroscopes inside of them, they can still create control stick attachments and whatnot for the Revolution controller.
Don't even get me started with Smash Bros. for the Revolution. It's too simple. The control stick attachment features two shoulder buttons called "Z1, and Z2".
In your left hand, with the Control Stick attachment...
Control Stick = Control character, like in the GameCube and N64 game. Move left, right, duck, and jump with this stick.
Z1 = Grab
Z2 = Shield
In your other hand, with the Remote controller...
A = Normal A Attack. Used with the control stick, like normal.
B = Normal B Attack. Used with the control stick, like normal.
D-Pad Down = A possible way to jump, along with moving the stick up.
D-Pad Up = Taunt.
See? We even had room for the taunt! That wasn't so hard, was it? However, we don't know how the gyroscopic features will come into play. This will get very interesting... I could go on and on, but I will hold off for now. If you still have any doubts in the Nintendo Revolution, or you decide to bash it, I have plenty more to say.

See my big list in the other Revolution thread.
Oh, BTW, apparently this needs to be emphasized:
YOU CAN USE GAMECUBE CONTROLLERS. Revolution is to Gamecube as DS is to GBA. |

I'm highly looking forward to this system, but it really comes as no suprise. Being a big Nintendo fan, it'd be hard not to like it. The possibilities seem endless. I'm kinda wondering if they'll have any games that require the use of two controllers.

The remote will be the best thing thats ever happened to Nintendo.
I mean, I don't mean to smell of fanboy, but think about the possibilites with gameplay for a moment. |

Sans the remote, I'm pretty excited for this.
They better make some alternative... a joystick thing and a REMOTE is not a controller.  |

Of course if it does just turn out to be a key type of thing, I'll just hack up my own and be on my merry way.
And even play DVDs from different regions... and other stuff. |

We'll have to wait and see how that comes out.
It said in that Wikipedia article that the DVD thingie is a dongle, so it does just unlock DVD functionality already present in the console. Maybe it provides information on the DVD format to the Revolution, but if its just a thing that you buy so that you can actually use it then they've betrayed their supporters. |

Waitwaitwait... No HDTV support?  Also, the 512MB internal flash is used to download games... that's nice, but does it download GCN games? Because a lot of those are probably >512MB. The one other thing that bugs me is that you need an add-on for DVD playback. This can be good or bad, depending how it works: If the add-on contains the actual hardware required to play a DVD (eg it's not physically possible without), then it's good; that would help shrink size and cost by making the feature optional. On the other hand, if it simply unlocks DVD functionality already present in the system (like Xbox's remote), then they're clearly just being greedy bastards, making us pay extra for the DVD hardware in the console even if we don't plan to use it, and then more if we do want it. We'll have to wait and see how that comes out.
Either way, though, I can't wait for a Zelda game where you strap 4 controllers to your arms and legs and physically move Link. I wonder if that's what they meant by these 'big changes' to Zelda? |

Lots of people count the SP as different and I'm not sure why.  It's definitely the more "popular" of the GBA models and with good reason, although if the Micro sells like it has in Japan... :\
There's going to be controller ports for the GameCube and I'm guessing Wavebirds would work as well. |

Unlike Xbox 360 (TES4 Oblivion, yay!), it doesn't have any games announced that make me think "I need this console." But, I'll get it sooner or later, if only for the downloadable games and the backwards compatibility (it's about fucking time, Nintendo...)
How can you say this? The Gameboy color? Backwards compatible with the GB (might not count as much BUT..) and the GBA? The SP? Backwards compatible. The DS? Backwards compatible with GBA...oh but it dosn't do GB games so everyone thinks its a huge screw up =|
Are any of those home consoles, though?
Ah, and that's my point. Plus, the SP doesn't even count as a seperate handheld, there's not a single SP-exclusive game in existence. |

On the subject of the controller: I love the idea. I love the potential it has, and just thinking of the gaming possibilites, and all the fun that I can garuntee right here will come from this system, makes me excited  I know alot of you don't like it, but..I have a very good feeling. I am not a fan girl, but I know for certain Nintendo has never let me down in the past for fun and innovativeness--and if you don't play video games for that, you're doing something wrong |

I can see them totally ruin that game, becuase they have ruined games plenty of times before! (Dont get me started on Mario Kart: DD (Sure I liked the game till I realized that OMG this isnt Mario Kart!) Hm... it might be like this...
Prolly Default-
-Left hand thumbstick for movement, Up can make you jump.
-Flipping Right Controller up can make you jump.
-A button is Attack.
-B button is Attack 2.
-Fliping Controller to Right, Left, or Down is smash. And..Uh. Up smash would be...Something....
-Shield would be point controller down...
I dont know, but they better figure out something!!!

Oh god....
HAHA! I've never thought of that before. 
I have a feeling games like SSB will be able to use the Gamecube controller or some sort of alternative. I can't see Nintendo completely ruining that game.. |

In the article that MM linked to, it said the GC controller ports were on the top of the console. |
