What do you think the Nintendo Revolution Controller should look like?


I personally think it should be like this:


Start off with a GameCube Controller. Now then, time to De-Form...


Firstly, make the Z-Button a Z-Trigger. Now put it on the left part of the Back of the Controller.

Next, make the D-Pad more comfortable in some way. Perhaps you could make it slightly larger.


Don't forget to add a Select Button. Put it next to the Start Button.


Now it is time to switch up the buttons. This is gonna be tricky.



Move the B Button around the A Button until it is being pointed at by the Upper Right Corner of the C-Stick Octagon.

Now it is time to add 2 buttons. U and V...or whatever you want to call them instead. Both of them are Bean Shaped, like Y and X.

Put U on the opposite side of X. Put V next to the Lower Left side of the A Button. But make sure it isn't too close to the X Button.



Now, I hope I didn't forget anything.


I probably did...


But anyways, here are the Buttons Actions.

To those who don't know, the Revolution will be backwards compatible with GameCube Games. But also, you will be able to download NES, SNES, and N64 Games. We're not sure which ones you will be able to download, but the controller must feel right for each system.

On Gamecube: Everything should be the same. The U and V buttons would not be used.



On N64.

A = A

B = B

L = L

R = R

Z = Z

Y = C-Up

X = C-Right

U = C-Left

V = C-Down

C-Stick = C-Buttons

D-Pad = D-Pad

Analog Stick = Analog Stick

Start = Start


(There are 2 ways to use the C-Buttons. Either with the C-Stick, or with the Y, X, U, and V Buttons.)




On Super Nintendo.

A = A

B = B

Y = Y

X = X

L = L

R = R

Start = Start

Select = Select

D-Pad = D-Pad

Analog Stick = D-Pad


(There are 2 Ways to use the D-pad. Either use the D-pad, or use the Analog Stick.)




On NES


A = A

B = B

Start = Start

Select = Select

D-Pad = D-Pad

Analog Stick = D-Pad


(There are 2 ways to use the D-Pad. Either use the Analog Stick, or the actual D-Pad.)



And of course, you would be able to change the controls.


Oh, and of course, to make sure the Controller looked more new, you could do some things like change the shapes of the buttons.





What are your ideas on what the Nintendo Revolution Controller should look like?

Just make it like the Gamecube controller and leave it.

I like change, but the Gamecube controller is just so comfortable I couldn't imagine using anything else.

Heck, after playing a Gamecube game for a long time, I find it almost impossible to use the tiny PS2 controller.

On the other hand, certain N64 Games just wouldn't feel right when using a C-Stick instead of C-Buttons.

But, in that case they could just change the controls for their games.


That actually is a better idea than changing the Controller the way I thought of.

[Lindy]

Look at what they did with OOT on the GC.

You could use the C-Stick, but X, Y and Z replaced left, down and right C.

That, to me, was perfect.

Best. Idea. ever. Period.

Sure, if you like an uncomfortable controller that leads to painful RSI or Carpal Tunnel syndrome.

[Cloud No.9]

it needs. analog buttons, rumbly stuff, two sticks and a d-pad, the usual start and select, 4 face buttons and 4 shoulder buttons. a touch screen, motion detection like wario ware twisted or the ew yoshi thingy, wireless.

I find it more comfortable than the GC controller myself. Button positioning (especially for the D-pad) is also better if you ask me.

The revolution controller needs more buttons. At least four shoulder and four face. My biggest problem with Xbox or GC games that require the use of both sticks (such as FPS games) is being limited to two shoulder buttons. One of my biggest problems with Halo's controls was having to take my thumb of the right stick to use melee. Basically all it takes is a quick sidestep in that split second (which happens often in multiplayer) to keep your melee from connecting. Having an attack you can't aim is just a bad idea.

[Lindy]

The GC controller has just as many buttons as the PS2 controller, and I'd much rather have two large shoulder buttons than four tiny ones.

All your ideas just really say, "Make the GC controller just like the PS2 controller" and basically, the less it is like the PS2 controller the better.

Also, the fact that if you've really PLAYED any GC games, you'd see how un-important the D-Pad is, and how the positioning doesn't matter when you're rarely using it.

Don't complain about it being no good for fighting games either, that's what the graduated Analogue stick is for.

I don't really care, but they should so let you have the option of plugging your old school NES controller into it because I love those controllers.

A little closer, I guess, but not quite.

I love the feel of the GameCube controller. Nevertheless, after using an Xbox controller for months, and seeing designs for the 360 controller, I think the GameCube controller could use some changes. The triggers should be left as they are but perhaps moved back just slightly, but two buttons, similar to R1 and L1 on the Playstation pad, should be added (the 'Z' button would be changed slightly to become R1, and L1 would be added." The two joysticks should be changed slightly to have a recess on the top so that your thumb rests on it more comfortably, and should both have the click-in function to add an R-3 and L-3 button. Select or something of that nature should be added next to Start, and the D-Pad should be enlarged to a normal size. I think the face buttons should remain unchanged; theyr'e perfect. Basically, I think the GameCube controller's shape is flawless; it could just use a few more buttons and some slight tweaking.

Yeah, I love the SNES controller too.

hardly. Its as comfortable as the GC controller. Not that I agree with Kakashi either.

That's pretty cool. I just wish it was more square though. Though that is pretty close.
