Best news I've had all week, just quietly.  It only cements my decision to skip the 360 and PS3 and hold out for a Revolution.

I think I will get this one also
I have always bought Nintendo
( not the first one to get in line)
when price is @ $100.00
I buy one

wonder how hard it will be to use the Roms we have on it?
glad to see the industry is starting to revive the old games instead of killing them

New rumor says it's coming out in June.  Just a rumor, but it'd be nice and give Nintendo a bit of a jump on Sony.

So the remote type part is a motion sensor as well..so say you were playing a fishing game you can cast the stick like a rod..or wave your magic wand..or hit your opponent :dizzy:

Anything that depends on actual fitness and coordination of the user will probably fail as a main gaming device.    DDR works, but really only to a niche market.

I disagree.  Now, I think that there will always be a place for the "regular" controllers.  But there is also a huge amount of control allowed by having this kind of input device.  How many times have you seen people jerk their arms a certain way to try and move that direction in a game?  Sometimes even their whole body.  I don't see this going away.  And if the industry doesn't adapt, but continues on at the rate they are going, one member of the developer rant panel at GDC was spot on.  Gaming is already dead, and is just another commercial enterprise.

If those people actually had to do it the whole time, though, they would last 5 minutes before they keeled over and passed out.

And note that those players are never any good.

You ever play those games in the arcade, like the boxing or police game, where you have to physically move, like duck and such?  Fun stuff.

Or Guitar Hero?

That doesn't even make sense.  Show us a past example of a football controller.

Genesis didn't surprise me considering the Sonic Mega-Collections. What shocked me is that they're going to have TurboGrafx-16 games for download too.

It all seems so ironic after the "Genesis does what Nintendon't" ads from 15 years ago. Nintendo--now undisputed champion of the 16-bit console war.

As far as the football controller goes, maybe it would be kinda like this:
http://www.gamestech.com/playstation2_info/controller/Football_Square/controller.htm

It's "Just like playing the real soccer game in the stadium." Something tells me that's a lie. The running part of American football might be hard to simulate with a controller. It'd have to be a combination of one of these and an NES Power Pad. Mad Catz used to make football-shaped memory cards. Why am I thinking this out this much?

Sports games are great fun.  It's your lack of interest in the subject matter that keeps you from learning how to play them, but even if you dislike or are indifferent to sports in real life, the games are loads of fun if you learn how to play them.  It's similar in a way to fighting games.  Try to play a fighting game without knowing any moves and it's pretty pointless and boring.  The game only becomes fun once you can access some of its depth.  The FIFA games are fantastic, especially with friends, and Fight Night is spectacular too.  Of course Madden and ESPN NFL are great, but I can't really vouch for that first-hand.  Tennis games (Top Spin, Virtua Tennis, Mario Tennis) and golf (Tiger Woods, Mario Golf, Golden Tee) are great too.

Really, sports (or any other topic/genre) should stay out of video games the same as it should stay out of movies.  Sports movies may not appeal to a person due to a lack of interest in sports, but some damned good sports movies have been made (hoosiers, basketball diaries, longest yard (original), Raging Bull, Bull Durham, Caddyshack, Chariots of Fire, etc. etc. etc.

As someone who owns most of the 16 bit console generation hardware and games, I still place the SNES a resounding third behind the US Genesis and the PC Engine.

TG16 was and is still good, but the genesis was just to dam sloppy for me.
