I was kind of suprised when I first saw it, I was honestly expecting something like those fake ones that were totally blank and had customizeable touch areas. But this, I'm sure, will turn out to be just as good as I would expect from Nintendo. I remember everyone went 'eww' at the GCN controller at first, but it turned out to be the most ergonomic of the lot. I think this one will do what they've designed it to do: attract people put off by complex console controllers.
Wresting with an Xbox controller is like trying to get a headjob from a gorgon. I think even my folks would play something with input as familiar as a TV remote.
omg, i dont think nintendo would put that piece of sh** out, If i was to play a game with it and i lost, it would immediatly get thrown into the wall and into the trash.
I guess if you flipped the controller around, so it was held horizontally you could play the 2D games pretty easy like that.
At first i was like "uhoh what have nintendo done", now that ive read what it can do, read the demos that were displayed utilizing it and seen the video, it has the potential to be great.
One nice thing is that for the first time ever, left-handed players can use the analog stick in their off hand.

ZeroTau[FA] - I was actually thinking it would be in two wireless parts, both with trigger grips, sort of like holding two lightguns. I wish some of these new gen controllers had featured force-feedback , it's something I was expecting from the Rev controller.
When I first saw this controller, I was like, 'What the hell?'. But then I gave it more thought, and I thought of the possibilities, especially that you could 'aim' with your controller by just swinging around the controller. Also, this 'aiming with yer controller' works in 3D (towards the screen and stuff).
Shooters will work VERY well on this. The accuracy of your shooting now really depends on you You can't say it's the buggy controls anymore
Hmmm... I bet there's going to come a new WarioWare game on this system. Ooh, I wonder what kind of crazy minigames we're going to see...
I'm really enthusiastic about this thing. Now that I've seen the controller, I just have to get me a Revolution.
I liked that one part on the video where the positioning acted like a torch. Oh, and the swordfighting. Kind of like the arcade game Tsurugi. I'm not going to be able to play Zelda on the Rev without a box of tissues.
Edit:
JP: If the attachments were also wireless, then they'd need their own battery. While it's likely the controllers will be rechargeable, a rechargeable battery for the attachments would push up the price (and they're hoping specialised ones will be cheap enough to include in games) and third-party ones wouldn't bother--so you'd go through a lot of AAs.
