Revolution Controller Revealed Options

[Dive]

Info and Hands On from 1UP

Nintendo unveiled the Revolution Controller at the Tokyo Game Show yesterday. Apparently the much hyped and secretive design was in fact complete wireless control. In essence, you move the controller in air where you want to direct the action on screen. I don't know what to think about this yet, but it is definitely "revolutionary". Additional accessories can be plugged into the main controller for added functionality.

edit: this is interesting.

er?
Crazy!
Boxy!
The thing that sticks out to me is the lack of buttons. The old controller had 7 buttons, 4 on the front, 2 triggers, and that subtriggerbutton Z. This new controller has 2? It looks to me like the big A and the trigger B are duplicated on those hard to reach smaller buttons at the bottom. Do I see trigger like bottons on the analog stick? It's hard to tell because of the angle. Does that even matter? Because the analog stick is an add-on which means that it most likely isn't shipped with the product.
What are those 4 light things at the very bottom? The first one is lighted blue. Can you assign a button set-up and are those lights telling you which set-up you are using at the moment?

wow... so many questions.

I will definately be doing a lengthy demo of the Revolution at the store before making any purchase.

one neat thing - The power button on the controller! Now that's cool.
