In the past week or so, I have had enough time to sit down and take a critical look at the new Nintendo Revolution controller. Initially, when I first saw the trailer, I was excited about the possibilities offered by the new controller. However, after some reflection and further reading, although I am still enthusiastic, I think there are some serious issues that need to be raised.
Nintendo has been an innovator in the video game industry since the early 1980s. From the beginning, Nintendo engineers must prove themselves. The introduction of analog controllers and even "rumbling" has been greatly doubted, but today it is considered an industry standard. However, the one-handed remote style controller can be said to be a bigger innovation and more skeptical.
According to several websites, the Nintendo Revolution [http://www.nintendorevolution.ca] will be compatible with the Gamecube game. Of course, this raises questions about how the new controller works with these games.
"What we are telling now is that some peripherals will be used for old games," said Perrin Kaplan, vice president of marketing and corporate affairs at Nintendo. "Of course, people can plug in their Gamecube controllers and use it, but if they want, they can use Revolution's peripherals to get a whole new experience."
Can the player adapt to the one-hand controller? I think the answer to this question will depend on the game developer. The success of the controller and console depends on whether the game developer can make a game that is commensurate with the new controller.
This also raises the problem of game crossover from one system to another. With the introduction of new controllers that have effectively changed the way we play games, we have also seen some games that can be used on multiple systems.
With the release of new trailers and a series of new images, people have forgotten that the new Nintendo Revolution controller has not yet entered the final design phase.
"No, this is not the final design. You won't see it until it's released, but we're getting closer," Kaplan explained.
More information will be available in the coming months. This information either makes most people skeptical or more likely to create more. With products like the Nintendo Revolution Controller, anxiety and suspicion are natural, making Nintendo a key moment. With the release of the Xbox before the end of 2005 and the processing power of the PlayStation 3 Nintendo, it does require revolutionary things in the next-generation console market. Is Nintendo really special about us? Only time is better.
