He also seemed a little pissed that he had to "fight his grandparents off of it(remote contoller)" which sound like a good thing to me, unless he meant he wasn't etting the loving attention that every young man needs from his family...Quote
After toying around with this Revolution remote control, and after fighting my grandparents off it, my prediction is that people will be looking to buy a "normal" controller to plug in.
So thanks Nintendo for trying. I actually respect the effort a lot!
People that know me, know I love big thinking and I LOVE innovation, but I still dream of the day when hardware manufactures stop trying to surprise game developers and actually invite a group of them to brainstorm on the hardware.
It would be a great marketing scoop for them (being designed by the top ten game designers in the world), but it would also deliver a bloody cool console / controller.
Oh well, just five more years and we can try again.
For a guy who only good game is Earthworm Jim, that's a stupid thing to say.
BTW.

Fair point, but if they honestly have a problem with too many buttons, then this solves that too. For example, on the faceplate that comes with a simple game, they could actually get rid of all unused buttons by not replicating them. If however I want a more complicated game with 10 buttons and a throttle slider on the faceplate for a Mech game, no problem.
This solution covers many needs.
The faceplate can also contain artwork (for that game) and tips, like "FIRE" written under the fire button. Trust me, that will help newbie gamers!
Faceplates???
That like taking back to the intellivision days.
Also his impression were wayyyyy too long.
