i\'ve been against the Revolution controller since it was revealed...

god damn it, if it aint broke, don\'t fix it... what happened to the simple days of NES and SNES?

Sony happened. Now Nintendo has to find ways to set itself apart from convention, lest gaming be doomed. Doomed to rot as it goes through the motions again and again.

N64 controller + GoldenEye 007 = rules ! :thepimp:

I loved it. I think the Rev controller + thumbstick add on would be great for fps games as well. I mean, has Rein actually played an fps game with the Rev controller !?

Wonder how big the check was that Bill Gates wrote to this guy?

Quote
That said, Rein continued, "Nintendo, you know, is going to make amazing games. I mean that\'s a given." Rein then conducted a quick audience survey to find out how many people present owned a GameCube - and found that rather a large number of hands were raised.

"Hard to make a business on less than 10 per cent," Rein said.


Stupid ass.

Maybe if he spent less time sucking his thumb and more time paying attention to what\'s actually going on around him.

Quote
on the N64 remember how after you played a game for a couple of hours you had to suck your thumb for a month?


Can\'t say I remember that, no.

Um.

The video was quite funny, at the end it looked like Matt was ready to cry. Notice his body movement when Mark starts bashing away at Nintendo, Matt can’t sit still for a second, you can almost see the fury inside him. :laughing:

I never had a problem with my thumb on the N64 controller.

The space between my thumb and my index finger.. maybe. I recall there being an unsmooth edge in the plastic that bothered me a little.

I always used to use the d-pad whenever I could because the surface on the analog stick was made of circular knives.

You guys obviously didn\'t play Bond enough if you don\'t know the thumb problem he\'s talking about.

I played it all the time. I never had a problem with the thumb. Sometimes the old joysticks wouldn\'t control as well as they did when they were new, though.

Older style D-Pads are what tear up yer thumbs. Remember getting the little arrow indent on your thumb?

Quick question. Why is this guys opinion more valid than the developers who said they liked the controller?
