Gaming fans are taking a new look at the Nintendo Revolution following videos released by Nintendo which show how players will be able to control and interact with their games. This comes in stark contrast to the nothing short of terrible response that was received following the original announcement of the Nintendo Revolution’s “revolutionary� new controller. Gamers worldwide resounded their disappointments over the apparently numerous restrictions due to its resemblance of a TV remote control and bearing only a couple buttons to boot. These feelings quickly changed following the release of how it actually works.
The videos display how simply pointing the controller at the screen and moving it results in a seemingly very responsive corresponding action from the game. For instance, a clip of Mario was shown from “Mario Sunshine� where simply flicking the controller upwards would get Mario to jump. Further flicks up resulted in a double and the final flip from Mario’s jumping combo. Mario could also be seen effortlessly jumping from side to side up and between the walls by using similar methods. The two buttons were merely used for action and interaction purposes.
Although the new controller hasn’t completely quelled the near uprising of Nintendo fans, these new videos have indeed brought about a new feeling of interest that is rippling throughout the gaming community. Hopefully, this will be just the first of many promising aspects of the upcoming Nintendo Revolution.
