REVOLUTION CONTROLLER HAS BEEN REVEALED!!!!!

[Weltall]

This is craziness. I don't understand how replacing a joystick with a pad that can be manipulated with just a thumb is a mere improvement, yet if you take that same exact pad and make it cross-shaped, it's the Jesus Christ of videogame technology. The Intellivision was the first console to use a pad. It made many games much easier to play. It changed the way videogames are played. Just because everyone credits Nintendo for 'creating' a technology that existed years before they came up with it doesn't mean a thing, except that most people are ignorant.

It's a shame all of you say so many things without ever even touching one of them.

Regardless of what you all choose to believe, the technology is the same. The shape is different. The cross-shaped D-Pad was an improvement, but by no means at all was it a major catalyst that forever changed video games. The NES was such a catalyst, but the shape of the D-Pad had nothing to do with it. As someone who has actually used both extensively, I know better than all of you the differences and similarities. The NES D-pad is more responsive and comfortable to use over extended periods of use, but it doesn't operate any differently. It doesn't make games any different, nor did the changes in design that appeared on the Genesis or Playstation. They all look and feel slightly different, but they do the same thing the Intellivision's pad did. Nothing more, and just a little less.

So please, actually use one before you try saying anything about it.
