Nintendo plans one-handed joypad that looks like a TV remote control
By
Nintendo has unveiled the controller for its new Revolution game console. Motion sensors on the controller translate its movements into game action, allowing it to be used as a virtual sword, baseball bat or racket. Although the Revolution’s controllers are public, Nintendo has yet to reveal details about the console’s hardware.
The wireless sensor-studded controller is a break with the past because before now most game consoles have used a two-handed device studded with buttons. The Revolution’s controller can be used to fight with on-screen weapons such as swords or control vehicles and characters but was also capable of representing quite delicate movements, said Mr Iwata.
