Nintendo Dates Revolution Controller Unveilling
Contributed by Mystical112 on 29 Aug 2005 - 13:15

Nintendo has announced that what we have all been waiting for since E3 will happen at the Tokyo Game Show on September 16th. Nintendo president, Satoru Iwata, will make the keynote speech for that date and unveil the controller for the Nintendo Revolution. Also during the speech he will be showing off the Revolution in full. What does that mean? A detailed outline of the hardware, the controller and how it will connect to the Revolution, and exactly how the system will work. After that, several games will be demonstrated on the machine, headlined by Mario 128. The other games are unknown at this time. But it is possible that the new Smash Brothers will be shown (as we know they are working on this game). You can bet that we will be covering the TGS this year extensively. The Café is where you want to be come September 16th.

Is that really so impressive? it's just a controller, not the reolution itself. The impressive part would be a release date, I recall them not telling us yet. Is there something about Revolution hardware that we don't know? I though we already knew about it.

LOL

The controller is extremely important.

I think you're being sarcastic, but in a way the controller IS the most important part of the console. The controller is all that lets you actually put any INPUT into the system. Considering Nintendo has forsaken the "more bump maps = teh win" mentality and actually puts thought into designing first-party games that are fun to play, the ease of being able to play the game is very important. Nobody wants to just sit and watch a game with good graphics (that's what movies are for), and nobody wants to be unable to comfortably play a fun game. Thus, the style of the controller is important.

And also, there is a lot of mystery surrounding the hardware and software of Revolution. They said that the one shown at E3 was in early beta stage. The final Revolution will feature more functions and be smaller; and they haven't shown any game.

Trust Nintendo a little bit, the new controller's got to be good.
