      That would happen to be the video they showed off back in September.

      Nintendo's always been at the forefront of game control setups, so I look forward to what they'll be showing off at E3.

      Hey, if all else fails, there's still the classic-style controler attachment, likely to be packed in.

      You'd be surprised, but the near-final unit is a lot smaller than it looks. It's height is about equal to the width of a DS.

          oh, the buttons on the bottom of it are no longer duplicate A and B buttons, they're now X and Y.

            Actually, you're half-right. The buttons are X and Y when held normally, but when held sideways, there are "a" and "b" labels under them on the unit shown at the GDC.

              Even the NES, SNES, N64, Genesis, PC Engine and cheap budget games for download via the Virtual Console don't do anything you you?

                I am looking at it from a parents point of view- no parentis going to want their kids swinging **** around in the house, especialy not my son. He will end up tearing the damn house down.

                  This is Nintendo. I imagine that they know a thing or two about child-proofing.



                  Seriously, though, the teaser movie exaggerates the way it works significantly. According to the hands-on demos, you could easily control it by light wrist movements, even whilst lying down. Like a mouse, but three-dimensional.

                  A guy recently made a working mock-up using some odds and ends and played an FPS with it. He didn't move his arms any more than one would with a normal controler. Remind me to show you the video.

                  Still, I wanna see how it actually does work, rather than hearing a bunch of journalist reports.

                    Do I have to remind you of the reading errors and stuff like that.

                    No I'm not talking about Sony products.

                    Anyhow I dont see why people on the pav dont like Nintendo Products. The only reason I can think of is because the own a PS2 and wont try anything new. Or they think it doesn't have any games because of all the under appreciated games.

                        What about those that you don't know you'd like? A lot of those older games you can't find anymore, at least not in good condition. Plus there's supposed to be a monthly deal, where you can download any number of games for a flat rate instead of paying for one each. If it's a game you don't like, quickly move on to the next.

                          That video made me almost physically ill. If that's how the games are going to be controlled(though I have my doubts about that, since, what would you do with all the buttons?), then no way.

                          Give a regular controller, not a damn remote, with an analog attachment. Gah.

                            More like "buy most of the company's shares".



                            I'm really starting to think that it'd control more like the working mock-up made by that guy.

                            That's it, I'm looking for that video.

                              Think of the 3D movement as a glorified analog stick, with the buttons to perform other functions. Super Mario 64 wasn't played completely with the analog stick.
