nintendo revolution controller
September 15th, 2005
This thing is insane; it’s a wireless controller that works as a “mouse” in 3-D space. More details are here; I love Nintendo, you gotta respect their nerve to put out such wildly innovative hardware when Sony and Microsoft are seemingly content to remake the PlayStation2 over and over.

Fuck, yeah. Very nice.
I love all the “IT SI TEH STUPODESTS CONNTROLAR I HAEV SEAN IT SI NO TEH PLAYSTATON” posts on Engadget.
These folks forgot: Nintendo invented the game pad when everything else used joysticks. Or number buttons with plastic overlays.
I dunno. I’ve tried gyroscopic mouses in the past, and they have always sucked. Lots of arm wagging and very little movement on the screen. Unless it works like a light gun. Which could be cool.
Here is a video of the controller in action
