i know, i saw it saturday. i laughed out loud when a saw it. a fucking remote controller? the mind reels. this is a perfect illustration of how hard nintendo is trying. they just copied a remote controller, which is the worst design imaginable for a controller. would you look at that thing? nothing lends itself less to playing a videogame than a controller where the buttons are arranged entirely verical of the player. do they understand how awkward it's going to be, if anyone even buys a revolution, to play with one hand over the other? did any of the even try to? they say that you can hold is sideways, like an old nes controller, but they're forgetting, you know, the fucking d pad. just because you turn a controller around doesn't mean that the buttons change function. i guess they might have an option in the games to alter the d pad to work right held sideways, but even so. also, the attachment analog stick along with z1 adn z2? bullshit. these guys haven't given us a controller without and analog stick since snes. yeah, the others all had d pads, too, but who honestly uses them for anything other than menus? let me guess, they're going to charge people seperate for the stick? god i'm glad i'm not buying a revolution. |
