Nothing "revolution"-ary here at all.  Have you ever tried to play a game with your DVD remote control?  
Time to move on.  Bye Amiga.org.  :(

I smell something.  I see no bridges yet I smell a troll...hmmm...

Read the article, watch the video then maybe you'll have something constructive to say.


So, I'm a troll becuase I don't swing on Nintendos nuts like you do???  :lol:

I read the article, and saw the video on IGN, and I still see it for nothing more than a high tech gimic.  Sure, it might be neat and even useful in something like a golf or tennis game.  But what about a platfomer, shooter, or fighting game?  I'd rather have a controller that works with everything, then add the gimics on as needed if a game really warrants it.  (ie. marracas, taiko drums, turntable/mixer, etc.)

Nintendo just put us one step closer to the 3D desktop and I'm a fanboy.  Give it a rest and just admit they have something special here.


It depends on the games made to take advantage of it.  For example, the DS touchscreen could be considered special (as it was one of the first on a handheld console), but I've yet to see a game that really excells because of it.  So, until we see the games, I'm calling it a gimic.

BTW, I'm glad you're finally admiting to being a fanboy.  That's the first step to recovery.
