Revolution Controller: Iwata Video Feature

Take a look at the Revolution controller in more detail in this little video we've put together.

The shock was pretty tangible inside the Makuhari Messe conference room when Nintendo President Satoru Iwata announced the controller for Nintendo Revolution. The next-gen Nintendo console's control device had been the subject of intense speculation, debate and even mockery for months, and although some aspects (such as motion sensing) had been vaguely guessed at, the full impact of what the new controller is, and what it will offer, blew us away

Much as Nintendo itself expected, reaction among gamers has been mixed - some simply cannot see how the new controller will be as good for playing traditional platform or fighting games, while others can't wait to embrace the new way of playing and see what new gameplay styles it will cook up, in much the same way as Nintendo DS was a step in a 'different' direction. Some, meanwhile, are excited to see how it will broaden the market in general.

Much like Satoru Iwata himself, of course. So, it's just as well we've put together this cute video feature so you can get a look at the controller in more detail. It offers the important bits of Satoru Iwata's speech using a variety of original and direct feed footage, plus clips of the controller in action. We're also offering the complete controller unveiling video - which features wacky Japanese and American people playing Revolution - for your downloading pleasure.

As always, expect continuing coverage on all things Revolution on Kikizo.
