I'm not a Nintendo Fanboy, but I do prefer Nintendo over the other two companies. It's fine to think that the controller for the Revolution as a joke, but you clearly have no idea how it will be like since you've never held the controller. Now, I, too, don't know, but I am looking forward to see what it can do with enthusiasm.. Besides, Nintendo usually never fails to publish great games, so that's also something to look forward to.

And Mario side games, like Mario Baseball, Mario Party, and the likes, are fun to play with friends and family.
