Read that to see how it works.

Im in love with this controller.

[SeanDMan]

*sigh* I'm too tired, and frustrated, o explain this marketting shit to you kids again when you apparently didn't pick it up before. Hopefully Matzat will fill in... if not, I will be back tommorow

.....

That's it, Nintendeo is nuts.

Read the article, don't just look at the pics. The controller sounds really cool, I love how Nintendo always is trying different things then the competition.

Here begins the days of frustration when I mistake it for my TV converter.

[Docpepper]

umm no thanks! seems like its going to be a big hassle. What is it with companies trying to invent new controllers. I say go back to the old nes controllers or let each system have a control like the ps1 /ps2 control

... how are you supposed to use the dpad and press lowercase a at the same time?

There was a near perfect controller, it was called the PS2 Dual Shock, all it needed was a button where your small fingers would be on the controller so you had extra buttons and to put the analogue in place of the D-Pad. Come to think of it, combine the GameCube and PS2 controllers and you've got perfection IMO.

Seems like this will be the first time a 3rd Party controller is favoured to an official controller, its absolute shite, you could use the PS2 DVD remote as a controller couldnt you? that didn't exactly take off.

The pic with all the coloured controllers looked like a bunch of guys holding their cocks in their hands whilst watching porn on the TV.

[Herr Matzat]

Good lord will i never use this crap, it dos not look 100% ugly (well, the part that issent ugly seems to be stolen from 5 year old apple design...) but the usabilety hase to go to hell, especialy wen the second part comes into play that is only conected with a cabel.

I hope this is only something like the eye toy for PS2 and they bring soemthing normal to the console aswell, who the fuck wants to do a belly dance in front of his tv to play a game ?

[Summers]

I'd rather play with my shit.

[Guest Sesame Seed]

It's different. More like a TV remote, but I reckon it'll fail, they might need a backup controller, because this one is just too "out there" for me. I mean, I am all for creativity and spontenaity, but this is just a step too far IMO. It looks sleek though.

I'm guessing it's leaning more towards using the D-pad for menus and stuff only, since there's a seperate analogue stick in that pic. It's still frustrating that more and more games are forcing the use of the analogue stick, since I hate using it, but it's not as bad as I first thought.

[abundant]

There's a B button on the back

The lowercase a and b are used only when you turn the control sideways, like an old NES controller.

[oldskool]

Sheesh. If you wanted a mouse-like pointer for your games, just use a damn mouse, not some remote-control lookalike. It's going to either rule or suck, there's no visible middle ground here. And where are all the other buttons? If you include the D-pad as four buttons, it's only got eleven, including select, start and home...Maybe the B trigger changes the button layout so you really have more, I don't know. I hope it works, but not well enough to become mainstream, as I'm quite happy with my non-pointing console controllers and my pointing computer mouse, thank you.
