seriously, i did say WOW when i saw it

because Iwata said, You will saw WOW

was he right?

 

[Amir0x]

i said what the fuck is that shit

 

[Ronin]

More like "What the fuck!?".

 

[Odysseus]

I guess "wow" would fit.

 

[Mejilan]

It even had me scratching my head in dumbfounded confusion.

 

[Belfast]

I might've said, WOW, but not the good kind of WOW.

More like,"WOW, HOW COULD NINTENDO FUCK THINGS UP AGAIN?!" WOW.

 

[DCharlie]

i said "holy shit, something new and interesting. Lets hope there are some great ideas that make my gaming life better!"

anyways, i did say "Wow, that's pretty fricken cool" - and the advertisement that they ran did a great job of telling you exactly what the controller was about without showing any actual games.

 

[momolicious]

i said what the fuck is that shit

^ thats a nice thing to say :|

 

[Goreomedy]

About a year ago, I posted something along the lines of:

"Nintendo's next controller is going to fall back on familiarity. Like a cell phone or a 3D mouse."

So, that they went with a TV remote, wasn't a shocker at all.

 

[Lo-Volt]

"What the hell is that. What is that." is what I said. Nowadays, I feel cautiously optimistic.

 

[AniHawk]

I believe I said, "What the motherfucking fuck."

 

[Shogmaster]

if WTF is the new WOW then yeah.

 

[TTP]

First reaction: "WTF?"
Upon further investigation: "Sounds cool"

 

[jett]

Almost. I went LOL.

 

[Rorschach]

I said wtfwow

 

[Kroole]

I laughed and went back to sleep.

 

[Vargas]

I think I said "That is fucking retarded"

 

[Stench]

I said "Wow" when I read the text of the controller features on IGN's live update page.

I said "FUCK ME FREDDY" when I saw the picture soon afterwards. My jaw also dropped and stayed limp for a solid minute.

Fun times.

 

[stewy]

Put me in the WTF column.

 

[Oblivion]

Yeah, I kinda scratched my head. A few hours later I thought it was much more interesting, though.

 

[AndoCalrissian]

I was watching the article that IGN was updating as it went, but they weren't really giving too much information, so I was really confused at first, as it looked far too simple. I wasn't too sold on the nunchaku attachment at first, but I like the idea now.

 

[John Harker]

I said "huh?"



And then I said "Ok, now that I can turn on my Rev from across the room, whats the controller look like?"


Then I said...... "oh."

 

[Mr_Furious]

WTF was my initial reaction. I will not say "WOW" until there's something to go wow over (like an actual game).

 

[civilstrife]

For the record, the whole "WOW" quote was made in reference to Revolution's graphics.
I believe it went something like,

"When you turn on the revolution and see the graphics, you will say 'wow'."

 

[Dsal]

"You gotta be shitting me! hahahaah" *derisive laughter*

Then I read up on all the stuff it was going to do, and then the respect set in.

 

[DCharlie]

i can't be the only one who thinks this is going to be at least very interesting?

 

[Prine]

My expression = :lol

 

[Luckett_X]

I was in japan for TGS, in my hotel lobby talking to a guy from EA while looking up the stuff i missed from the trade-only day.

I just sort of groaned inwardly and the EA guy guessed I was looking at the controller.

In retrospect I can see its potential, but its overall aesthetic design as a remote control is so shit and alienating to me I sort of already see it as wasted potential.

 

[sprsk]

i can't be the only one who thinks this is going to be at least very interesting?

im with ya bro

 

[IAmtheFMan]

I did say wow.

But more like a:

"... ... ... uh... wow, WTF, wow."

It took me about 20 minutes to grasp my head around the concept.

 

[Amir0x]

i can't be the only one who thinks this is going to be at least very interesting?

this is about initial reaction, what else could one think but 'wtf'?

But now i think it'll be interesting. BUT BUT BUT, with the qualifier that I don't think it's a replacement.

 

[AssMan]

I said "OOOO."

 

[Kroole]

i can't be the only one who thinks this is going to be at least very interesting?

Well yeah. After I read the impressions and saw the actual presentation I was getting pumped. I was finally given the chance to play a FPS on console with actual good controls. It has been my dream since GE.

And I'm intrigued by how Nintendo is actually going to be using the controller. They must have some crazy ideas in store for this thing.

 

[Cold-Steel]

First reaction was more like a "I knew it!" for me.

I guessed Nintendo would use some sort of pointer device similar to the middle prong of the N64 for their design but I didn't expect a remote at all!

Big WTF.

 

[DECK'ARD]

It was "WTF" on seeing the photo.

Then after reading about the motion/position-sensing I decided to keep an open-mind until seeing the games. It could be gimmicky minigame heaven, or it could genuinely open up better ways of controlling 3D games.

Until we see how it's applied I think it's premature to start screaming "OMG I don't want to wave my arms around like a tard!!1!!". It could be used in far more subtle ways than that, we'll have to wait and see. One thing is crucial though, and Nintendo must take the lead in showing how to apply it with a Mario64 level killer-app. Chucking out a load of tarted-up tech-demos like they did with DS in the beginning won't do them any favours at all.

 

[DCharlie]

oh, i assumed by initial reaction it meant "the first showing" not that exact point in time.

Right : initially at the TGS keynote, a huge MGS "?" appeared. The video rolled and it just showed a remote. Then it went into the demo and i think the phrase i used was "holy shit"

I think everyone there who hadn't seen it went...

"This is the revolution??? a remote contro... oh! it does that!!! oh, that's pretty fricken cool."

(i think haters were held at the door)

 

[Keru_Shiri]

I saw the pictures second-hand, so I thought they were fake.

"No way that's the controller" was my reaction, it wasn't until after I saw the video did my mind open up to the possibilities. My faith in Nintendo is on it's last leg...

 

[GaimeGuy]

My first reaction was close to "wow"

"wha....?"

and then about 24-48 hours later...

"OOOOOOOOH. :O "

 

[Monk]

I said "wow". Uptil then i was seriously considering quitting next gen and sticking with my pc. I hope with this controller comes a new formula for gaming. I am sick of the same old formula for games especiallt when it comes to platform gaming, (damn you mario 64)

 

[Ninja Scooter]

i said

WAHWAHWAWIE!

 

[xexex]

I said: Whoa, that's definitally not what I was expecting :lol

 

[Particle Physicist]

my initial reaction was definitely ... 'what the fuck'

 

[Agent X]

No, World of Warcraft never came to mind.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

I said, "This is a joke, right?"

Then I checked IGN and 1UP and they were running the same feature.

It took about two days before I came up with some semi interesting uses for it, and I certainly hope it's interesting enough to put Microsoft's bitch ass in third place. Otherwise there's no need for Nintendo.

 

[suikodan]

I wasn't impressed so I probably said something like "Ok...."

 

[GDGF]

I said 'What the fuck'

After I saw the video I said wow!

I shoulda said 'soothsayer!'

 

[Taibhse]

No.

 

[koam]

I said "wow" but in a what the fuck is this shit kinda way.

 

[Mifune]

I said, "It's been nice knowing you, Nintendo."

 

[D3VI0US]

I believe I said "What the fuck is that thing?" and then started laughing. :lol

I was dumbfounded, after reading I'm still very skeptical. Still I would say WOW=WTF, I mean it's all about the shock right?
