'Revolution' has no D-Pad, A,B buttons?
|
|
|
|
various message boards are getting the following report about Nintendo's
'Revolution' system:
"There is also no D-Pad and AB button in "revolution."
Tue., December 21, 2004 23:55
In a report in the Diamond Weekly newspaper in Japan, "it (revolution) does
not D-Pad or AB buttons", although an official announcement is expected at
e3 next year. "
......does make sense cause Nintendo said its next home system would have
backward compatibility with Gamecube.

Maybe the "Revolution" is you control games with your brain. Or your penis.

Didn't Nintendo file for a patent on a new type of control system earlier this
year? Sounded rather like the Eye-Toy.

I'd actually be glad if this is true. Finally, all those so-called
'hardcore' gamers can quit humping their D-pads and actually learn to use a
control stick for fighting games and the like. I mean, geez, I learned back
in the old days of the N64, it's not that hard to make precise movements
with the stick.

Perhaps you can just plug in a gamecube pad...
It'd be nice if it was a touchscreen pad, and the console has a ds slot...

| Control Revolution with your brain? Reminds me of the scene out of
Back to the Future II.

| I think we will have to control every game with a spinny wheel, hence the
name "revolution". Its a GREAT idea. Platform games will be more like
driving games, FPS's will have breaks, it will make your TV become touch
sensitive and you will be able to wipe virtual blood off the screen with
your hands while killing Yoshis with a chainsaw as the boys at Nin re-brand
as more "adult". Touch sensitive, touch your mum. See? Its all becoming more
adult.
Yeah.
