    Sony and MS, make the controller more innovative and we won't have to use the shell! User friendly? You think that any current gen controllers are user friendly??? You're kidding yourself chromer...Hand your controller to any non-gamer and tell them to play Halo...it won't be pretty. Oh, and I imagine the shell would be for 3rd party developers who are too lazy to take advantage of what they've been given.
    I'll trade you this delicious doorstop for your crummy old danish.
    Done, and done.

      You two both missed the point. I'm trying to say that if it is that simple to play with the Nintendo's controller, than make the controller look more egonomic and feel more easier to play with than a frickin TiVo remote and a trackball mouse in the other hand.

        make it look for ergonomic? How about they just make it ergonomic and not worry if it looks like a remote. They're trying to get a design which won't scare off non-gamers...I don't know too many people who don't know how to operate a remote...so I think they succeeded...and it makes sense for the wrist movements which may be necessary. But I'm with you, it'd better be comfortable...because God knows I'm going to be playing the hell outta that thing.

          The controller is actually quite comfortable, from what I've encountered with it. Here is a paper mockup of the Revolution controller. Once made, it only takes a short amount of time to get used to. The only problem I have with it is that pointing straight forward can feel a bit akward. Maybe they'll allow you to offset the angle of the pointer so that you can hold the controller more comfortably.

            Wow, that should really be how the controller actually feels like.

              I saw this a while ago...i like the fact that its sorta like Virtual Boy...

              The cool thing is that you could be having a sword fight using your remote as a sword!

              this brings back memories of the INtelevision

                The controllers only good thing is when they release the skins to put on for the old games. by that i mean the have al of the old controlers you can attach to the controller of the revolution making it easier to use...but the revolution games will suck balls with that crappy controller.
                Also they said that SSB3 is a definate game for the revolution. about the GCN ports....you're wrong. read above. If you saw the 2005 Tokyo Game Show, they said all of the above.. I'm not sre how SSB3 will be played but hopefully the GCN skins will work for it!

                EDIT: that pic of the "shell" or skin as they called it looks pretty accurate to wht they will release. they showed it at the show and it looks kinda like that... they may change the look later.

                  I don't know if anyone posted this yet. I skimmed through this thread but nothing caught my eye.
                  I think that this is really really cool. And by really really cool I mean, "DUDE, Itsa f**king Shotgun!" Plus it has the controlstick on the base of the barrel of the pistol, or whatever that is called, so it looks like it would be possible for shooters. But no first person shooters. Still really cool looking, even though it is just concept art.

                  And for people who don't want to link and read about it...

                    Ya'll should probably try the controller out before passing judgement on it. It could be the greatest thing to happen to the gaming world...or it could be the next Virtual Boy.

                      OMFG THE CONTROLLER MADE ME COLOR BLIND I CANT SEE RED


                      The real question is this: how many add-ons will there be, will it be like a new one needed for each new game, and how much will they cost?
