Nintendo Revolution Speculation

Wednesday May 18, 2005 - 7:02PM EDT

I really can't stop thinking about what the Nintendo Revolution is going to do with online gaming and their new controller. FREE online gaming! And I still can't get over downloading old school games. I am trying to think of the possibilities. They still have yet to release their next succesor to the Gameboy system (DS is considered by them to be a new product line). What if for the next Gameboy system you could download games to high capacity SD cards (1-8GB) and play them in the system. That might be cool. The new controller though is what I am waiting for now. Oh yeah side note, they better just add DVD playback without the add-on piece. Doesn't make sense not to. It would be the coolest looking smallest set top DVD player on the market and that is bound to attract extra buyers. The non descript small black box would blend into any home entertainment setup. I'd replace it with the big ass silver monstrosity I have sitting next to my TV now. I am hoping the controller uses the spaceball and gyroscope ideas I talked about earlier. I personally never liked the controls in first person shooters. They were not that difficult but it takes some getting used to if you have never played first person shooters. The spaceball and gyroscope would just take that shit to a whole different level of precision and control. I can't even imagine the type of control I would have in first person shooters. I would be insane. I think I am going to do a 3D mockup of what I think the controller should look like. I have a pretty good idea of it in my head.
