I don't think nintendo will pull off anything revolutionary with their new console. I salute them for trying new ideas, but I'm just not seeing companies use a controller that gives you feedback the way these rumor articles talk about effectively. None of this is confirmed yet, but if this is the direction nintendo's headed, and we at least know the controller's gonna be a big part of the alleged revolution, whatever it may be, then ugh. Nintendo's tried quite a few things over the years which granted are innovative, (recently, the e card reader, gba-cube connectivity, double screen game boy), but they just haven't stumbled across the Big One, something revolutionary, as of yet. Their ideas are refreshing and interesting, but companies haven't been able to really utilize these ideas and features effectively in their games. There sure is potential in all these new ideas nintendo triess, but finding ways to effectively utilize them is a real challenge that hasn't been overcome so much by the software creators.
But hats off to Nintendo for trying new ideas constantly, for always trying to raise the bar in new and different ways. This is how progress happens, even if in this case it's in a field that is largely irrelevent. Maybe someday nintendo'll hit the Big One, something revolutionary that really does change video games, or at least alter them in exciting new ways. I don't think it'll happen this time around, but who knows

I fell into a burning ring of fire. Went down down down, and the flames went higher.
