Well, I think this is a good read. Like the title states, there is some skepticism and what have you, but there is also a lot of praise for Nintendo, in atleast trying to think outside the box.

well its not just about them thinking outside this box. this is something they almost have to do. if they just release another console like 360 and ps3, and try to compete that way, more then likely it would just end up like it is now. somehow they have to take a risk (good or bad) and go a different route.

I love the powerglove...it's so bad.

Anyways, there's a nice article on NextGen.biz where they interview different people in the industry for their response, and does so in a completely unbiased way (takes both the good and the bad). Very interesting:

Michel Ancel
Game Designer, Ubisoft
Creator of Rayman, BG&E and King Kong

I feel just like a child with a new toy, opening millions of new doors of possibilities. More than an improvement, this way of playing is creating a new dimension. It’s simple, when Nintendo unveils its hardware, every member of the team starts imagining crazy ideas.

Yeah it's a power glove ripoff (some of the team members who worked on the P5 also worked on the original power glove), but in a way the revolution controller has the same idea (minus the glove)...

Except the original power glove detected the motions with sound, whereas this one works with infrared (I think) sensors, and in 3D space... Somewhat more similar to the Rev controller than the original was...

It's also like 3 years old...

I'm just trying to rain on the Nintendo fan's "GO GO INNOVATIVE NINTENDO!" parade... As a follow-up to my intellivision D-pad and Vectrex analog stick post...

Because it's how I get my kicks...
