"Earlier this week, the respected Japanese business magazine Shuukan Diamond reported in its 2005 Preview Edition that the Nintendo Revolution Controller will not feature a directional pad or A and B buttons."

No directional pad - no buttons - NINTOY CAMERA, I'm telling you. Idiots.

That's not fair on people with arthritis.

I bet it's a touchpad.

And you sue a stylus/thumbstrap.

By directional pad they could just mean D-Pad, which is mostly useless anyway.

And maybe they're renaming the A+B buttons. I can't see a console with no actual buttons to press. Even the DS has them and that's supposed to be a console you use touch-control for.

Yeah, I haven't used the D-pad on the GC...ever.

Sure, some games use it to select items,weapons etc. But they'll be other ways of doing that.

Using just cameras and touch sensitive screens would be not good, not good at all. We need buttons for our games. There is such a thing as being too innovative but like Tphi said, I don't think they will get rid of the basic controls.

Exactly. Being too innovative and wacky will just drive away 3rd Party support who don't want to spend ages customizing games for the Revolution when they'll already sell very well on PS3 and Xenon. With the DS being the main force in the handheld market, developers are really being made to work with the hardware if they want their games played :) Nintendo unfortunately don't have that grace in the home console market anymore.

Ninty, you fools.
The controller need no work, it is (shockingly) the most perfect way to control stuff.

Just make the World's Greatest Controller©®™ and everyone'll be happy. And, like them people just down below me said, there might actually be some third-party support for the console.

Well, if that's all they have to do then there should be no problems.

Just let us use our GC controllers.

Oh and Nintendo, please don't make a controller with the buttons A, B, C and D arranged in the fasion of a PS2/Xbox controller.

In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
Thanks!
