well it's simple...but I don't know how easy it will be to use....a left handed joystick? IF this is IR, then there may be interferance issues.

There seem to be fewer choices of movement and it all uses one hand...not sure I like it...for example in Mario 64, you had to move the camera angle with the alternate 4 way select button, I see no way to do that with this controller.

It requires a hires letterbox TV, not sure everyone has one, I don't.

Wow, you guys obviously havent read the review of the controller. It's actually pretty ****in bad ***. Nintendo is on some other ****. Top of the creative food chain. Read here: http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3143782

I stand corrected, it uses an accelerometer to measure hand movements - a good idea.

Yep.....

Nintendo is not in the same leauge as Sony and X-Box. while those 2 system are whoring their specs out and competing in the same areas while Nintendo set a differnet path in gaming. First person shooter just got alittle more intresting.

Damn now imagine if they could add force feedback on it, so when you shot it in a first person shooter it would feel like a kick from a gun.

They did what they could, it has a low mass force feedback, if I read it correctly. The problem is that this is a low mass device, so it's not heavy and won't have a real kick, just a small weight thrown around inside, better than nothing, but not what I would call kick.

I believe Nintendo has unlimited potential with this new controller.. if you can call it that, but i'm really intrigued on how they're going to have multiplatform games work on the Revolution the same way they do on the other systems. Don't get me wrong, i don't want them to play the same way, but it's going to be interesting to see how Nintendo will tackle the situation. Unless they have all their games exclusive to their system.
