So Nintendo has released what their new controller will look like and how it will function. It seems pretty cool, using sensors to check position and orientation… But, I remember when Esther an I first started dating and we were playing video games, there were usually wild gesticulations that accompanied button mashing. “Jump, jump” was usually said in conjunction with rapid mashing of the button, and the upward swinging of the controller, as though that made Mario jump that much higher. What do you think we are going to look like playing games on the Revolution. Yep, that’s right a bunch of monkeys, yelling at the TV, waving our hands (and the controller) at the tv. It’s actually kind of scary. In the linked article they talk about swinging the controller just like you would swing a sword (a la Zelda), but when you are playing two player… what if I want to hit my opponent in real life as well as in the game? All completed in one swift movement… um, yeah. Lawsuits abound.
