De Revolution controller is gezien!

Wij tasten hier nog volledig in het duister. Vele ontwikkelaars hebben echter hun ogen al op de beruchte Revolution controller mogen richten... Vele ontwikkelaars hebben de controller, waar sommige mensen een moord voor zouden doen, al onder ogen gehad. Dat verklaarde de quasi-legendarische Reggie in het Amerikaanse tijdschrift EGM.

"that you and your fans haven't seen the controller doesn't mean that no one else has."

"The thing that I always find surprising, and certainly in the last year I've had wonderful opportunities to spend quality time with a number of our key third-party publishers, is when you sit down and share the innovation with them, just how excited they get," he continued, "I saw it firsthand with DS, we're seeing it now with Revolution,"

Volgens meneer Fils-Aime heeft president van Nintendo Satoru Iwata tijdens de E3 al hints gegeven naar het hoe en wat van de controller.

"If you just think about it, we're going to have the ability through wireless internet to download all your great games from NES, SNES, N64," he said. "Think about it - each of those controllers are different. How are you gonna play? That captured some of the imagination of what our controller needs to be able to do, and certainly as you get into the meat of that type of innovation with the developers, their eyes truly light up because they start to imagine what's possible with that kind of configuration, which is vastly different than a sheer horsepower kind of game."

Verder nam de gevreesde Ass-kicker de woorden in de mond, dat de Revolution substantieel minder zal kosten dan de concurrentie.

"We have to assume that from a pricing standpoint, we will be substantially lower than the competition," he said, giving the reason for the lower price is that the Revolution won't have "all of that added fluff that a gamer, frankly, doesn't [want] - it's not core to gaming."

Volgens analisten zal Nintendo in augustus zijn mond wijder openen en wat meer details over de Revolution ontsluieren. We zullen zien...
