I'd get at least one N64 one for sure, and a Genesis one if they offered the six-button model (not that the 3-button is bad, but the 6-button made it pretty much irrelevant, even if only a few games support it... it's just better.)... but yeah, it's impossible to tell if this is just a promotional thing to the magazine and they aren't actually going to release these things (I'd say it's likely -- why release separate Sega Master System, TurboGrafx, and NES controllers when all three use pretty much exactly the same one, for instance? Just for the slight design and color differences? Most people would say "not enough different to be worth buying" to that...)... I mean, while it'd be cool to use each console's games with exact replicas of its controller, that'd be pretty expensive, especially with all of the OTHER addons to this controller they're thinking about... while the ideas are cool, the price is high! Nintendo needs to know that they can't require expensive extras for games very often... it hasn't worked before and it won't now, no matter how cool it is when it's actually all working with an appropriate game (see: GBA Connectivity!).
