Nintendo hyped the controller as the be-all end-all of gaming and after all that, it's a remote?? However, my panic quickly subsided into curiosity and as I investigated further, I found out about the real revolutionary part, the motion sensors. The next day I managed to see Iwata's keynote and the video that came along with it to introduce the controller. And I have to say, I'm impressed. While the reasonable part of my brain is still freaking out about how 3rd party support will turn out, the creative part of my brain has started to imagine the possibilities. And the one genre that I think can benefit the most from this new technology is First Person Shooters. Today's FPS games never seem to be able to work the current Dual-Analog controllers. I've always been of the opinion that an FPS needs a keyboard and mouse, however after seeing Nintendo's new controller, I think there maybe a much better way to control an FPS. In fact, it might even be better than a keyboard and mouse. Can you imagine playing an FPS on the Revolution? Controlling the movement of your character with the analog stick attachment, while controlling your sight simply by moving your hand in the direction you want? And with the trigger button on the remote, it would be even better than a light gun! The possibilities have already been sweeping through my head and I for one can't wait to see what types of games Nintendo's got in store for us. All I can say is that the next round of Mario Party games are going to be <em>very</em> interesting. ;) When I first saw a picture of the controller I was…well, scared.
