LOL.........who wants to look like an idiot standing up playing a game that isn't DDR?

Revolution to have 20 launch titles

That's wishful thinking. Nintendo sure likes to talk big. On second thought, yeah, there'll be 20 launch titles in Australia when it launches in 2019.

People who play DDR don't look like idiots to spectators at the arcades?

I was speaking idiomatically.

I meant more in the line of you have to stand up when playing DRR.

Looking like idiots? Please don't remind me of that horrible scene in the WaterBoys movie.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I agree standing does make you look like an idiot, especially in the comfort of your own home where no-one will care. Who cares if standing is the most enjoyable way to play, games aren't meant to be fun.

FELIPE NO

What about the poor folks in wheelchairs?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

"What about the poor folks in wheelchairs?"

They can sit down and play it. I'm sure walking is more enjoyable when you can stand, too, but it's something they have to deal with. Don't go blaming Nintendo for handicapped people they did nothing to.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

What about people without arms! WITHOUT ARMS, MAN.

Are 20 launch titles really that many?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I was actually reading EGM a few weeks ago (not to suggest I subscribe, I got it for free somehow) and somebody wrote in about the Revolution.
Apparently they had some disability (similar to lacking arms, but I don't think that's it exactly), and they might actually be able to play video games again with the Revolution.
Thought that was cool. I'll post the letter if I bother to find it later.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

You know, I was thinking about this for a good few minutes. What kind of physical disability would bar you from using a videogame controller except Revolution's?

On the plus side, Revolution will be the console for people with only one arm! That way, everyone can be a gamer.

I saw this black guy in the supermarket the other day, and he only had one arm. I thought to myself "Jeez, that must suck. He can't even play games since you need both hands." but then the Revolution came to mind. This probably crossed people's minds when the concept for a new controller came up, I'm sure of it.

This is really going to revive the light gun genre, which is great. If only the same could be said about shmups.

I'm not sure, I can't remember. But the kid who wrote in certainly seemed to think such was the case.

What? You can't hold a (light) gun with only one arm? What is this? The 15th fucking century?

And the Revolution controller actually consists of two devices, requiring you to use both arms for most games, as far as I'm informed.

Maybe he was just mentally retarded and made that up.

"In my imaginary fantasy world, I couldn't play videogames until Revolution arrived."

Even if you win Red Steel, you're still retarded.

The nunchuck analog stick a peripheral, and not part of the revmote itself. Granted, it may be included with the revmote by default, but it's still detachable, and not every game needs/uses it.

How ya doing, buddy?

Sony does like to talk big.

But that's not the point. The point is, this thread is not going to get derailed into furter "The Revolution sucks because IGN said so" or "Mario gets milked too much" or any other of that type of bullshit.

God I am so sick of Revolution threads dying because a bunch of morons come in here to swing trashbags around waiting for purpose to enter their lives.

God.

All companies talk big, how is this news?

Thank you for regurgitating sprouticus's post which you previously took issue with.

In other news, I can't wait to shoot asians gangsta style and then slice their hair in funny ways.

I'm real interested to see if the sword swinging action is going to be real time (you swing up, it swings up). It could lead to some crazy ass battles. Imagine having to defend yourself in that way? Kick ass!

Can someone say Bushido Blade 3?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

But I'd imagine it would be somewhat difficult to move and swing at the same time, since both arms must swing simultaneously to avoid pulling the remote from the analog stick. Or you could make small slashing motions, but that's no fun.

How ya doing, buddy?

I think you're underestimating the length of the cord. From pictures I've seen, it looks like a fine length.
In the Rev video, too, that Japanese fellow seems to have no trouble swordfighting with it, and with well-exaggerated motions. And from pictures I've seen, I think it may be longer now (comparing two now, looks that way). Though I'm really not sure, that's just how it seems. I have no measurements.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I haven't seen any new pictures of the controller+analog attachment, from the look of it the cord between the two was pretty short, but they said they were lengthening it for the final version. I'm a bit concerned about it's length too, or even then it will still cause drag on the remote which will feel a bit odd when wielding it like a sword. I think pulling off Kill Bill style moves with it might be a bit difficult (lets face it, 90% of the people that hear the phrase "use it to swing a sword" are thinking of the crazy maneuvers from that movie). So at worst, you'll just have to restrict your movements a little to keep from having it interfere with using the analog attachment.

I'm kinda wondering why they didn't make both units wireless, or maybe even offer a wired analog attachment (as in one that hooks up to the console instead of the remote). It would give the remote a better sense of freedom for things like this. Oh well, I'm sure some 3rd party will eventually do that somehow.

How ya doing, buddy?

The analog connected to the remote? Good question, :/

I'm assuming they'll make it wireless. Hell, it's been done with the Gamecube controller. Wireless is "all the rage."

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Guys, fucking a.

From this point on, if you don't have something meaningful to say about the game, I'm banning you from this thread. This is your second fucking warning. This is not a thread to discuss the controller in, we did that at length and we have a general revolution thread where you can talk about the controller and how much better you think Nintendo is than Sony and cumshot all over each others faces all you want.

Talk about the game or GTFO.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Thanks to Chairman Kaga there, pah.

In terms of the graphics, these look MUCH BETTER than I thought they would.
For something that is only 2/3 times the power of GC, it's definitely proving it's worth as far as I'm concerned.

Granted, there would be some small issues in terms of say, noticable blocky bits due to lower poly count...but from those scans, Red Steel already looks just as good as Perfect Dark Zero to me.
Like, the lighting effects in the screens look spectacular!
And unlike PDZ, not EVERYTHING has a shine to it!

Still need some video footage though.
