Default Re: Nintendo/Revolution Press Conference

Well for one, it looks like the analog add-on comes standard with the controller, I'm just assuming they made it detachable so that you aren't limited to it.

Second, i see that the controller has a lot of potential atleast in my eyes. At least more so than the other two console makers.

And I personally see this either expanding current genres or creating new ones. I mean its nice to have new ways to play, if nothing else, The Rev will be a fine alternative to one of the other consoles.

As for 3rd party support, it is a double-edge sword. It probably would mean a lack of 3rd party release (well except for the fact that you could get a normal controller shell, I would assume comes standard as well), but it also means that most 3rd party releases on the system will be a unique experience from the other 2 consoles. It just depends on how the developer implents it.

I don't see many genres it couldn't work in, if you think outside of the conventially. Though, I don't really see how it would play 2D fighters....
