Contest: Caption This Picture
by peterbToday's entry is brought to you courtesy of Nintendo, who has given us all a first look at the controller for their upcoming home game console, the Revolution.
It's a pretty simple contest: caption this picture! If, in so captioning, you should happen to let slip what you think of the device, so much the better.
My entry:
From the company that brought you Virtual Boy.
(Really, once you see it "in action" it's not quite as bad as all that. But that was still my first reaction.)

Damn, the first comment steals my thunder...
Oh well:
Nintendo reaches out to women gamers with a re-designed rumble pack. -or-

I must have been drinking heavily, because I could have sworn I saw *two* hands there.

(...latest in a great line of device names, following joy-stick and
track-clit. Please help us ensure that this new one catches on.
Gaming history is counting on you.)

Posted by psu at September 18, 2005 07:23 AMThat's a pretty elaborate garotte controller for the next Hitman game.
(Seriously, it's a REMOTE CONTROL. If it's supposed to be a weird pointy magic wand thingy, they should have made it look less like a REMOTE CONTROL. That doesn't say "revolution" to me, it says "shut up and watch your television.)
Posted by Eric Tilton at September 18, 2005 11:48 AMNintendo: right angles. Except the curvy bit.
I'm not sure where the big N are going with this. I can totally appreciate reaching out to the VERY casual gamer (they are a big audience), which this might do very well, but there again the VERY casual gamer won't be willing to spend a lot of money on hardware; and the Revolution hardware might quite deliberately not be mega-powerful but I'm sure it won't be cheap either.
