I don't see how any of that is possible with that controller.

Look at the controller - flipping it to the side, it basically becomes a perfectly serviceable NES controller!
I thought that was how it was supposed to be held until I saw the pics with the people holding it correctly.

New info. Apparently a conventional normal controller like-shell will be available for the remote to slip down into to allow you to play "normally" if you are too big of an opponent of change. [Smile]

I've found some user-created mockups of possible peripherals that look pretty intriguing.

For racing:

For shooting:

For whatever:

For Classic N64 Gaming:

There is a lot of potential here...

This looks great. When I was younger we used to tease my mom for jerking the controller in the air to 'help' Mario make a jump. I think that using a motion sensor will be more intuitive than people realize.

It looks like a TV remote. I guess that means my dad will have control of it. Because he controls all the remotes.

Don't you know that the Nintendo controllers had sekrit motion sensors? That actually worked!

I jerk the controller about even if the game is loading. Nothing happens then though.

Wow, check out this article with speculation on how the new controller could change the whole zelda series.

The jerking the controller around phenomenon amused me most when people would do it with a gameboy, moving the screen around so much they couldn't really see what they were doing.
