    Revolution's 'Nunchaku' controller may send you cross-eyed

    The latest Revolution rumour suggests that the add-on Nunchaku styled controller may also be motion sensitive.

    Check out the Headline for more info.

    That is way too complex. Nintendo has already said that simplicity is the focus here. They won't draw granny into the system with her already poor motor skills and precipitously declining cognitive abilities.

    There still is a secret to the revmote. I don't think we'll find out until E3.

    This makes sense - imagine using it as the shield and the main controller as the sword..

    I still don't like the actual controller.. it just won't be the same as having a solid lump of plastic between your two hands. The missus says that she likes the look of the new set up and whatnot, but she's into all those new fangled fads. She spent £70 on a bloody purse.

    We'll probably end up buying a Revolution for a new Mario Kart (I think there is one.. can't remember), so whether the controller will be the downfall of the Double Dash king (ME, yo!) or not, we shall have to see...

    Excellent...

    If this turns out as good as it's suggesting, then playing certain types of games is going to be even more fun than ever.

    Thinking about it, it would be nice if there was an option to turn a motion sensor on or off on the add-on controller. It may be fun with some games, but really annoying with others.

    Well of course at the end of the day it's going to come down to the developers. Ever heard of play testing? I'm sure they aren't going to go out of their way to irritate gamers.
    To err is human. To really foul things up ... you need a computer.

    This would be the best option yes For example in a game like mario(assuming the 3d mario series here [64+sunshine]) you could control mario with the main remote, and then use the addon to control the camera using the motion sensor or the analogue stick (switchable in the menu? or maybe even on the hardware). Could become a pro-skill so to speak, using the motion sensor if you can learn to use it - I bet it could be easier than the control stick with practice.
