    Official Patent, Possibly Revolution Controler, Main Details Revealed *DEBUNKED*

    According to documentation on the US patent website, the Revolution Controler's main features are as follows:

    * "Gyroscopic, tilt-sensitive technology".

    * An LCD display.

    * A, B buttons.

    * D-Pad.

    * Start and Select Buttons.

    * L & R Buttons.

    * "rectangular housing" for LCD display.

    * "Control circuit having a CPU core".

    * "An LCD controller, a work RAM, a video RAM, and an interface circuit connected to the CPU core via a bus (an address bus and a data bus)".

    * "Cartridge slot"

    It's actual appearance is still a mystery. It may be revealed soon, judging from this.

    No analog stick? Only four buttons?

    Yeah, screw that.

      Is it bigger than a breadbox?

        No mention regarding it's size.

        Oh, and here's an article about this:

          Hey, aren't these the guys who said the downloads of old games were going to be free?

          http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-P...do&RS=Nintendo

          Look at the date. This is probably a patent for Kirby Tilt'n Tumble or something.

            No, I believe that was IGN.

            That link dosen't seem to work for me.

            Hmm, while this is an official patent, it's possible that this may or may not be the controler... It's possible that it may be a GameBoy or otherwise.

              Works fine here. All you need to know is that the patent was filed on May 19, 2003. I mean, according to Miyamoto, the controller wasn't even finished a month ago. This is likely a patent for GC connectivity. It sure sounds like they're talking about the GBA.

                Y'know, it seems you're right...

                ... Okay, that's it. No more trusting that site.

                  Damn, and I was just about to sign over my SOUL for the controller...

                  Ofcourse the multiple benefactors would have to all agree on the lease but they're cool about it.

                    Well, come to think of it, if you take a look at the descriptions, the whole "Three-dimentional game space" thing seems a bit out of place if it's the GBA. There's also the issue of the "LCD controler".

                    Then again, Nintendo does file patents to play around with ever so often. In fact, they filed a patent for "a new game console that allows players to surf the internet, watch television, and play games - all at the same time." some time ago. Turned out to be a sort of complimentary add-on.

                      they re-patented the 64DD last year.

                      they, like every other company, just patent random things in case they ever feel like using it, there wont be legal loopholes. it's like concept cars.

                        Yeah, it's not real, interesting though. This site has a bunch of concepts.

                        I like this one, not very practicle, but cool none the less.

                          Why wouldnt it be practicle?

                          Id love to have a controller like that. I could hold them any damn way I please while I play. Itd be awsome.

                            That first one was sooo obvious. It's easy to tell it was modelled off of a Wavebird.
                            "What if like...there was an exact copy of you somewhere, except they're the opposite gender, like you guys could literally have a freaky friday moment and nothing would change. Imagine the best friendship that could be found there."
