> Nintendo (yes I'm a gamer nerd) just released their incredibly
hyped controller for their next-gen console, the so-called
Revolution.
>
> The controller is supposed to resemble a remote control, to
help bring both veteran gamers and people who don't usually
play games to Nintendo's system. The controller will be able to
act like a laser pointer and responds to tilting and depth. The
controller has a trigger button and has a space for extra
hardware to be attached, such as the contol stick that will be
packaged with the console.
>
> The baton will be innovative in the FPS, RTS, RPG, Adventure,
Action, Music and Fishing genres. This will totally decide
whethere Nintendo stinks or swims in the next generation of
consoles.

I'm a Nintendo player. Always have been, always will. I will be a
Nintendoer until the day I die. PS, PS2, PS3? They can take a
running jump. XBox? Don't even get me started on that.

Nintendo? Long live Mario! I'll take Mario, Link, and Samus Aran
over... whoever anytime.

I have to admit, though, I'm not overly wild about the controller.
It looks like it'll take some getting used to. I dunno. I guess I can
wait and see.
