not sure if any of you have your ears to the information superhighway, uh, streets, but miyamoto finally released some details on revolution’s controller.

looks like an apple-designed television remote to me. the wand features an old school d-pad and a power button. there is an analog stick attachment that makes for one of the craziest console controllers i’ve ever seen. this is no jaguar controller.

i, for one, am happy to see that at least one console maker is actually pushing the envelope and doing things differently. nintendo has said the design is still in progress but the point is they’re not just churning out a console with impressive hardware specs, but are actually rethinking the very design of a console. nintendo has been the most innovative company in the videogames industry for the last two decades, im glad to see some things never change.

see the gamespot article
ps. that chick’s got great hands, right?

**update: a revolution trailer confirms: the japanese are crazy
