Nintendo Reveals The Revolution's Goofy-Ass Controller

Source, IGN: http://cube.ign.com/articles/651/651275p1.html - Sigh. The controller does indeed look fairly interesting, but gimmicky, as expected. I'm not sure this would be my first pick when choosing a way to control video games. (I can see my arm getting cramped already.) FYI, this type of technology has been done before on some PC mouse and gaming peripherals, and it's pretty fun to use for a while, but as the primary input device?! We all better hope this thing is super precise, or the new Nintendo system is DOOMED.

Hey Nintendo, it would have been fine to release this controller (with a limited number of games) as an extra for the PS3 and XBOX360...but as your "ace in the hole"? I don't think so.
