Revolution Controller not revealed!

Nintendo has debunked a rumor about the controller of the Revolution having been revealed. The rumor originated at Games Radar in a story titled "Revolution Controller Finally Revealed." The story was based off an 2003 patent for a device with gyroscopic tilt technology an LCD screen, both of which are features rumored to be in the Revolutions controller.

Nintendo has made it clear that the information was not accurate, and that Nintendo has not announced any information since E3 about Revolution. "Nintendo recently released information about Revolution at this year's E3 and has not announced any information since then. We will be divulging more details about our next console in the future. Only information released from Nintendo should be considered accurate," a Nintendo of America representative told the website Nintendojo.

Games Radar has since edited its article, and has retitled it "Full Revolution controller details finally revealed?" The site writes:

While at first excited from potentially new confirmation of what the Revolution's controller would finally deliver, certain things - other than the date - just didn't add up.

Hidden deep in the depths of jargon few would bother to read to, details of cartridges and CPUs complicated matters. While potentially this could have been describing some sort of extra power for the Revolution controller, it is actually describing tilt technology for a game that makes use of Game Boy Advance and Gamecube compatibility.

Woo, good so ninty still hasn't really released any news on the controller.

Anyway, good news to me!

Comment.

Yep, it was disproved in the other thread on this that got posted when Games Radar posted the stupid article. They apparently didn't look at the images of the patent as I did.

...It was the GBA attached to the Gamecube.

You'd think at least a few would look at the images.

well when nintendo finnally do reveal the controller im sure it will be all over the internet and not on a few websites. It will probably be revealed at some space world event.

I've no idea to be honest GR. I just know that that was the image attached to the patent. The patent described 3D tilting games - there was to be a Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble that used both GBA and GC at one point which I'm confident this patent was for. However, the addition of the touch screen in the patent is interesting and could mean that they knew about their future DS at this point and wanted to secure the patent so that they could do a future game like it...maybe between DS and Revolution...

Excuse the big-headedness of the following post.

It proves how many sites simply find an article, don't even look at the contents and blindly post it as news to gain hits - it's pathetic and unprofessional. Thankfully we didn't follow the sheep and actually checked the date/images on the patent before posting it as a counter article to the crap sites were churning out.

And that's the way it should stay. Three cheers for Cubed3...
