Nintendo Revolution controller: iPod-inspired

By Jeremy Horwitz | 09.15.05

Based on early reports (and since the words appear to be used in every article), it will be interesting to see if any account of the new Nintendo Revolution controller does not use the phrase “iPod-inspired” or something of the sort. I would have picked the phrases “DVD player-inspired” and “Dreamcast-inspired” instead.

If you’re saying, “what the...?” right now, the answer is that Nintendo believes that games need to be simpler, and therefore controllers need to be simple and accessible. (Didn’t work so well for GameCube, last I checked.) So they made this. Attachments plug into the bottom, and it senses the direction you move it in, like a wand. And it rumbles. Okay.

I’d write more on this, but I can’t claim to be interested enough to do so.

That's a pretty bad article.

Everything is ipod inspired these days.

Not my site... but interesting game stuff there at times

The Gamecube had a simple controller?

And is that the article? Why on earth would that be worth commenting on?

Well, I made a comment at the site, hope you enjoy it.

That article is uninspired

I think that's probably the best article i've ever read. Infact, it's so good; that there's not even any need for a summary. You can post the whole thing in just a few sentances.
Inspiring.

Regardless, there have been a few remotes that can play games. According to my friend the first thing he did when he got his PS2 DVD remote was play Castlevania: SotN with it.
