Teddman reveals Revolution controller details!

Yeah, but there's a difference between Gaylo and Nintendo's FPS's over the years: They aren't boring. The Same goes for games like Mario Kart and F-Zero vs. Fagza Motorsport and Project Gaytham Gaycing.

What? Can't someone express themselves around here without being labeled a rabid fanboy? Trying to group together everyone different from yourself and mark them with a label so you can ignore them, making them and their views dead to you. What is this, Auschwitz?

I'm not crazy!

And then you go to Nazi refrences where all credibility is lost.


Honestly, what is up with today. It's been thread after thread of some weird shit today. I keep checking to see if i'm in the Nintendo Power forums or something. Between the idiotic PSP gamer photo bashing thread going on and this and RE5 REV wishful thinking thread and everything in between. And most of the damage to nintendo fan credibility is being done by themselves. Seriously folks, give it a rest.

You forgot Gaystation, phagot.
 
Ami, you should host your own Anti- Camp Hyrule, where you take the crazed insane Nintendrones and reprogram them for a weekend or so.

The entire internet would owe you a debt of gratitude. But it is a noble effort to try one at a time. They can still be saved!

I try and try! But it is impossible, I do not have the resources!

Also, is typhonsentra malfunctioning, or just kiddin' around? I think it's just a joke, for my sanity.

I blame Matt Cassa-ma...something stupid, fat and Italian...

I think I should replace him as the "Nintendo guy" (he actually got his face printed in GI magazine for his "insider knowledge" of the "Dolphin" Project). Anyways, I think he should be replaced by me 'cos I don't whine when Nintendo falls behind or when they don't do what I want them to do, nor do I blast them every chance I get just to be "cool" with my PSers & X-BOT buddies, nor do I have delusions where Nintendo suddeny becomes #1 again...it doesn't matter to me 'cos I'm as biased as hell, but at least I'm realistic about it.
 
Amir0x said:
littlewig is totally a Nintendo fan. A fanatic, even. I can't tell if you're joking, it was pretty convincing! But if not, this post has EVERYTHING that disqualifies you for the NINTENDO SANE CLUB.

Rule #11 of Nintendo Sane Club: Thou shalt not change competing company names into what are essentially unfunny wordplays! This includes: M$, Microshit, $ony, GayStation, Xcrap3shitty, Gaycube, Gaypube, PhonyPlayStation, PortStation Portable, Nintendo DualShit, Nintendo DickSuckers and any other lame combination that remains unmentioned here.

Rule #28 of Nintendo Sane Club: Don't say that graphics are not important! On the other hand, do not say it is the most important thing either! Acting like quality gameplay and quality visuals are mutually exclusive automatically disqualifies you!

Rule #36 of Nintendo Sane Club: When attempting to discredit someone you deem unworthy to sniff Nintendo's Luigi bootstrap, do not use quality games that appeared on their systems to show this! Example: "You keep your generi-whore FPS like Halo, I'll stick with fun!" Why? Because for one, a game like Halo IS fun and has been widely received as a quality title! For another, you're likely to just bait more people into making you look like an idiot!

Rule #37 of Nintendo Sane Club: Do not generalize! Example: "Keep your racing games." In the case of the racing comment, it will come back to bite you. Because someone will read a thread about you liking the latest Nintendo mascot racer, and bring it up to haunt you! Also, generalizing is bad because it can never, ever be 100% right! Having lots of racing games simply means you have more options to find a racing game you enjoy!

Rule 11 and 28 are pure unmitigated truth... the others may require a bit of personal perspective. Either way Amir0x \m/. ^__^ .\m/

Luckett_X ... ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
 
Well, kind of. The anti camp hyrule, anti nintendrone hypothesis is something I just can't compute... being a lowly Nintendo fan and all. I must be naturally stupid.

I'm not being deadly serious or anything here obviously, but I hope you realise you can like Nintendo and like the other guys too... there's nothing mutually exclusive about being a Nintendo fan.
 
Don't get me wrong, up to the SNES, I'm a Nintendo fan to there and back. I'm from the Uk however, and from the N64 onwards it feels like Nintendo have been repeatedly kicking me in the balls.

radioheadrule is from the UK too
 
Aye! :)
From Liverpool.

Europe is screwed by everyone I guess, although admittedly sometimes Nintendo seem more dire than ever here. Stuff like Doshin, Minish Cap, Another Code and the eventual Animal Crossing release are the exceptions to the rule .

We're up far too late by the way. I'm gonna get some shuteye methinks.

G'night all!
 
How exactly would a wavebird-like controller be able to play N64 games? Even if they map the C-buttons to the C-stick, I'm pretty sure that certain games required multiple button presses that would make such a scheme very, very awkward. Unless they reprogram controls for every N64 game they re-release... which I somehow don't seen Nintendo doing.

Besides, I doubt that Nintendo would say something like "imagine what kind of controller would be able to play all those games" if they were planning to re-use the wavebird layout (the four face-button layout change doesn't count).

You need to take a test. I'm going to give you a random sentence and I want to see how many terms for homosexuality you can fit into the words contained within the phrase.

Your sentence is:

Travellers to Togo are advised to be wary of street gatherings or protests, especially in Lome where violent demonstrations in the aftermath of recent government elections are still a very real possibility.

Ok, go. You have 30 minutes to complete the test.

The point remains that internet fanboys constantly hype things to illogically astronomical levels. Whoever said the Revolution's controller would have a touch screen, gyroscopes, play every videogame known to man, would cure cancer, let you have sex with it, etc.? It seems like a few details were taken out of context and then sent through the internet fanboy hype machine.

So whose to blame? Nintendo, or IGN fanning the flames? Megaton was invented by IGN based on an announcement taken out of context.

A wavebird style controller with the SNES button layout would allow games pretty much from the Famicom to the GameCube to be played with ease on the Revolution.

The diamond button configuration would act as the camera buttons for the N64. More than likely, the second analog could also be used for the same purpose depending on user preference.

But there are N64 games, like Banjo-Kazooie, that require you to press both the A/B buttons AND the C-Buttons or Z-Trigger at the same time. How could you possibly, even with a diamond layout, press A/B and use the C-Stick at the same time?
 
Fagellers to homogo are queervised to be queery of gay gaytherings or sausagefests, especially in Nutley Freeholder where violent anal rapes in the aftermath of recent ass pirate attacks are still a very gay real soprano.

If the C-Buttons were used for camera or secondary control (straffing, for instance) then that could easily be mapped to the C-Stick (or what I'm hoping a C-Trackball). If they were for specific & individual functions then only two of them would need to be offset to the L & R buttons. If there is a N64 game that requires that and the L & R buttons then maybe there might be second set of L & R's (wether they be buttons, triggers, clickable toggle wheels or grip sensitive handles is not known). I would say that there should be two sets of L & R functions to make ports from other systems possible afterall.

If all else fails then games can be re-programed and re-mapped...they did it with NDS & GBA ports afterall...they even did it for the LOZ collector's disc too. If Nintendo are already saying that they may add fancier graphics and make older games playable online, then I don't see them being chinsey with mapping out controls.

This does bring up a question though? If the new controller is going with the SNES "diamond" button layout, then won't playing GCN games with it be kind of odd? The HUD's in those games would still be showing the face layout of the old GCN button layout. Maybe there's a possibility that the Revolution controller may feature interchangable face button layouts?

Yeeeeeeah...but I'm clutching for a possibility that the controller will be configurable or upgradable. Oh well.

If what Teddman saw is true:
-conventional "normal" design
-basically a modified WaveBird
-Super Famicom diamond face button layout

If what Teddman was told was true:
-NO screen
-NO touch panels
-NO gyros

Believable possibilities that Teddman couldn't see:
-mic
-tilt pak (not really a super gyro)
-built-in air flow
-special force feedback
-grip sensitive handles
-secondary L & R triggers or buttons

Possible modifications later on:
-simple non-touch screen for like settings, wireless channel selection, system remote
-something configurable, customizable or expandable
-trackball in place of the C-Stick
-clickable toggle wheels in place of the L & R buttons

You do realize, that, the inclusion of all these... things, could result in an expensive controller. Nintendo is cheap, remember?

Much cheaper than any of my previous theories. Besides, Nintendo R&D is up and Miyamoto said they were investing alot into the new interface.

Realistically (going by Teddman) though I'm gonna guess right now:
-SNES button layout close to the trackball in place of C-stick on the right face
-clickable analog stick close to a proper D-PAD or D-Button on the left face
-analog L & R toggle wheels w/ digital click
-grip sensitive L & R handles made of stretchy/soft stressball material (can double as L2 & R2 for ports from other systems)
-built-in tilt pak (not full blown gyros or anything, something that's like in Ware Ware Twisted which shouldn't be expensive at all)
-built-in air-flow (could be used for gameplay too with hot-cool sensations)
-built-in mic (or headset option, but I'd more prefer a built-in mic)
-new form of rumble (not as advanced as restistance force feedback or anything, just something a bit more immersive than normal rumble
-EXT plug that doubles as the recharge cable (could also be used to connect to the GB micro or some other outside device giving the player more options)

and maybe one of the iffy's:
-the face buttons could be interchangable cogs: (SNES normal layout, GCN simplicity layout, N64 6-button layout or other possible layouts)
-small screen on the center of the controller for player specific personal data, wireless channel selection, preset button layouts, controller I.D. (nothing fancy, not a touch screen or nothin')
-built-in small optical camera in the center of the controller to pick up player motions for gameplay (making a hand motion for a sports game) and for picking up the players appearance/emotions durring gameplay (like the arcade Mario Kart game)
 
Making the Z button a clickable scroll wheel is a good idea. It would make scrolling thru menus much easier and especially make a virtual keyboard easier to navigate. For a fps, it could be used to quickly toggle thru weapons. Another use would be to zoom in and out. I'm sure it would prove to be a good function if added.

Edit - Force feedback and gyroscopes would be cool too. It would be especially useful for racers. A trackball could probably prove quite useful too, especially in fps. The controller better be rechargable though cause this would eat batteries up. They also need the games to back it up. If they made these additions though and had good graphics and a decent online plan, I could see Rev being the system of choice again for fps and maybe even racers.

What exactly does Gyro do for control? I don't think I've used it before.
Click to expand...
A good example would be a racing game. The gyro controller could be used the same way a steering wheel would; turning or tilting your controller would turn the vehicle. Add force feedback to that to provide resistance. Now imagine playing Pilotwings and Metroid Prime with that controller and you can begin to see the possibilities.
 
I'd like to revive this in light of recent developments. I'd really like to know what happened to this controller that we were discussing which Teddman saw.
 
Teddman lied. Son of a bitch!

Or, maybe he just saw the traditional shell for the remote. :)

Anyway, I'm soooo glad it didn't turn out to be a modified wavebird looking thing + sensors. I would have been so disappointed. The remote idea is pure genious.
