Getting a Feel for the Revolution
Chris Morris, the man behind CNN’s column “Game Over”, got a chance to try out the Nintendo Revolution controller for himself and gives us a rundown on his thoughts about it. Aside from simple demos to show off what the NR can do he got to toy around with a version of Metroid Prime 2 (for the GameCube) that was revamped for the NR controller. Here’s what Chris had to say:
“By adding an auxiliary thumbstick controller, I was able to play through a level of a retrofitted “Metroid Prime 2” (a GameCube game). Confession time: When it comes to console shooters, I’m terrible. I can finish them, but I’m nowhere near as competent as I am with my mouse/keyboard setup for the PC. In the early stages of the “Metroid” demo, it looked like this trend would continue, as I was all over the screen. By mid-way, though, I was better able to move and aim – and enjoyed the game far more than I did with the GameCube controller. (“Metroid” fans… well, you’re probably already pretty excited.)”
