Is there still no conformation weather the controller will be shown or not?

Believe me, it will. I'll leave this forum and never come back if it isn't, that's how sure I am.

I'm sure they're showing the controller.

Damn, I haven't been this excited about Nintendo since Brian Stelter and I were updating Spaceworldlive.com frantically for three straight days as the GameCube was being unveiled at Spaceworld 2000...

exciting times... c'mon..

Dude, jesus.... you can't stand to wait an hour.

I can confirm the controller will not provide free handjobs. There goes the Revolution.

So what does everyone WANT from the controller?

I want something pretty simple myself..

- GameCube-controller casing (just the basic way it's shaped, because it feels fucking comfortable)
- PS2-like button layout (go back to the standard diamond buttons, two analog sticks -- no c-stick crap, two/four shoulder buttons, d-pad)
- New features added onto that, mainly gyro, which is all i'm really asking for, maybe a mic, whatever else Nintendo has planned -- but NOTHING TOO CRAZY where multiplatform games don't happen
- As far as look goes, a black controller, with blue highlights (such as buttons, logo, whatever, to match the blue glow of the Revolution cd drive -- maybe have the buttons light up)

I don't think so. Supposedly, IGN will have some media on the keynote a little while afterwards. Good enough for me, even though live updates would be great.

But the handles' vibration will be so advanced, it WILL be able to get your girlfriend off faster than you can.

Fuck. That'd be a GREAT idea for expanding the market.

So if we aren't expecting live updates (lack of live blogging?) then how long can we expect this thing to go before we get the first pictures? 1 hour???

I want a simple button layout that is 3rd party friendly (think Super NES). If it has strangly-shaped buttons like the N64/GC, we have ourselves a lemon. If Nintendo doesn't realize this...

The earliest we're likely to hear a thing is 12:15 JT, which is about 11:15 EST, which is about 8:15 according to the unlabeled time system that IGN referred to without reminding its readers its based in California.

this might be my last post before Revolution controller is revealed.... heh, I remember how I first saw Gamecube console and controller revealed....I had only my Sega Dreamcast for internet at the time with a free dialup ISP connection.
Videogamespot had the first picture. i saw a purple console that looked like one of those laundry dryers at the laundry mat. the circle over the disk drive. heh. that was my first impression of Gamecube, and the controller looked weird but cool. all i remember are seeing the analog sticks and the bean-shaped buttens... man.. August 2000, that was a fun time..

and now here we are...on the brink once again, about to see how we will be playing Nintendo games for the next 5 years starting in 2006...

I have a strong feeling that anyone looking for a generic, third party friendly controller will have to look elsewhere. There is no reason for Nintendo to make such a controller. Any third party game that requires that sort of standard input will be played on the gamecube controller. From the impressions of everyone that has seen the controller, it is something completely out of this world. Let's see what they come up with to justify the name Revolution.

wow if the Revolution starts tonight I'm going to cry...

I wasn't excited about this at all a few minutes ago, but now that everyone is saying it'll happen it made me really happy and got my hopes up...

IF nothing is shown tonight anybody "confirming" this deserves a 1-year ban for the emotional stress it'll cause among those getting their hopes up...

Providing it doesnt have new revolutionary features, ill be quite happy with an evolved Gamecube controller. Its by far the most pleasing controller to hold imo, and if it heads more in a 360 controller (which seems to be my wonder controller) direction ill be very chuffed.

all indication are that it will be an "omgwtf" kind of controller.. the kind of controller you look at and you can't figure out how it works...

I would actually like this and hopefully it turns out to be true.

Does anyone know what material Revo is made out of? I mean is it something like plastic? It looks a lot like aluminum to me becaue it's so shiny. I'm hoping it's made out of aluminum and the controller is made out of aluminum as well. :D
