I’m sure everyone’s already heard about the controller for the Nintendo Revolution. Personally, I think it will be awesome, as long as it can perform well. For those who haven’t seen the teaser video, I suggest watching it to get an idea of what Nintendo has in mind with this controller.
Penny Arcade linked an interesting article from Lost Garden a while back about Nintendo’s genre innovation. While the article does oversimplify some things, it makes a lot of insightful points about Nintendo’s strategy in the video game market.
More recently, David Sirlin, a bastion of reason in an insane world, posted his thoughts on the Revolution controller as well, and as usual I strongly agree with his sentiments.
“Nobody ever said people’s opinions have to have a footing in logic. That’d destroy the Internet as we know it.”
