I can see why third parties like the controller, it's very versatile. It can do as much (or as little, for that nmatter) as the the developers care to program it for. Some games can utilize the new gyroscopic feature, while third parties making multiconsole games can still include the Rev without having to completely rewrite their games (or just forget the Rev altogether). I'm trying to visualize playing certain console games with this controller. NES games would be easy, just hold it sideways. SNES games might be awkward but workable. I am actually very intrigued at the idea of how N64 games would work; using one hand to press buttons, and the other to move around. It would feel very much like a PC FPS and, frankly, I think it could work. At first I shared Ryan and Geno's apprehension, but now, after digesting the information and realizing the infinite potential it has, I'm loving it to death.
Why, if I didn't know any better, I'd say that Nintendo is actually trying to get on a winning road for the next gen of consoles!
Viva la Revolution!
