I can't imagine this idea being any better.<BR/><BR/>Also, while I don't agree that it's a death-knell...it's certainly not good news as far as third party cross-platform development goes.<BR/><BR/>First, the Revolution supposedly isn't as great a leap in processing power as the PS3 and 360, and now it has a completely non-standard controller...seems like Nintendo is saying they don't want third party support at all. It's not like they've been all that strong in that department since the N64 days. Are they just trying to shed it altogether? Perhaps like the DS, Nintendo is trying to go off in the corner and do their own thing and pull a separatist share of the market.<BR/><BR/>I'll reserve further judgement once games come out and I have a chance to play one. Hopefully it'll turn out better than Virtual On twin sticks and Cha Cha Maracas.

It's an NES controller. Also, according to Nintendo, the controller can be plugged into different, more standard cotrol housings.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957295042066441558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7074909.post-1126903008393477422005-09-16T16:36:00.000-04:002005-09-16T16:36:00.000-04:00LOL, you hear that noise?

No ones going to want to use that thing, because having two hands to work a joystick is faster than one, and you won't drop it as often.Leftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14012514335341497408noreply@blogger.com
