REVOLUTION CONTROLLER HAS BEEN REVEALED!!!!!

[Weltall]

They're side triggers. :) (that is, it seems like they'd be an attempt to bring joysticks to gamepads and add triggers, but without a stick to stick the trigger on like joysticks have, they put it on the side... though of course I don't know if the Intellivision was actually first to do that or if someone else did first.)

They have the same function... possibly even more useful than shoulder buttons tend to be on modern consoles.

I know I'd heard those things were fragile, but wow... SEVEN? What do they do, break constantly?

Well, I had two break when I was younger, I got a third in 1986 (which still works), and the rest I inherited from family members who no longer wanted theirs. EVERYONE in my family had one. Only my 86 System III and my cousin's Master Console still function. Every one of my carts still work, amazingly, though the controllers on my System III are in poor shape.

But if you already have one, wouldn't they have a package that doesn't have the eyetoy?

They do.

From wanting two more buttons while not making it six face buttons (a bad decision the whole industry still thinks was good, sadly). I wouldn't call that innovative by any stretch of the imagination...

No, not really.

Oh, and you forgot to reply to that last part... and didn't make the quote work correctly either. :)

As far as I can tell, it wasn't directed towards me.
