Next-Generation challenges Nintendo's Revolution controller theory with both positive and negative things
to say. They analyze button placement, intuitiveness, and the thinking behind major controller releases over the past
20 years. From the article: "Reading about the Revolution, I have quickly become bored of the constant suggestions
people offer, trying to justify Nintendo's bizarre new idea of a videogame system. If I see one more article about light
saber battles, I... well. I'm just disappointed, is all. It's like everyone is going out of his way to think up the
flashiest tech demo in town, when the actual benefit of the system and its controller comes not in the amazing new
gimmicks it will facilitate, or in anything that will ever require the player to flail his arm around the
room."The article’s insights on the history of interface design do a good job at highlighting the importance of game controls. Any others share the author's Revolution controller opinion?
