The evolution of the Revolution controller

by Conrad Quilty-Harper on Feb 8th 2006 3:00PM

A forum poster over at GAF has stumbled upon a collection of scans from what appears to be a book published by Nintendo designed to recruit college graduates, although we're not entirely sure of the book's origin. The scans show a wide range of purdy images relating to Nintendo; from the creation of the Revolution controller (pictured above) to a guide for snaking in Mario Kart DS the storyboard for the celebration sequence in Mario Kart DS. Click after the jump to see some more scans.

Even revolutions have to evolve!

This is sick! Where'd they get this?

It's not a guide for snaking, it's a storyboard of the sequence that plays whenever you've finished a cup in Mario Kart DS.

Guess I didn't submit it quick enough.. *sigh* Oh well. Any Rev news is good news!

Cool book. Is it an annual stockholder's report? They usually are super high-end print jobs.

Wow, the Revolution was originally going to come with a complimentary vibrator huh... interesting

1st of all...

That book is wicked.

And 2nd that snaking is actually the storyboard for celebration scene in Mario Kart DS.

Wait a minute... joystiq, get engadget japanese to translate those pictures of the book in japanese. One of the guys on the second page of that thread said an image was talking about the revolution's cpu, and he said that it said it was multicore! Quickly! Before some other site does it!

wow...that's damn amazing. Once this baby is released i will finally get some eye and arm excercise.

Let's burn some calories people, and evolve America into a Revolution!!!

Some of those designs look just an electric razor.

wow took ya a bit to catch onto this one joystiq i had it up on my blog before you did thats unusual lol

Huh... The second controller prototype from the left kinda reminds me of the interface of the touch/scroll wheel iPods (G1 and G2)...

Haha, #10. That's *exactly* the first thing that I thought when I saw the side profiles image.

The fifth side-view design looks less like a razor and more like a Wavebird cut in half.

So why did they remove the analog stick from the wand and go with a D-pad instead?

Am I the only one that sees they are exactly the same all the way through? The first one for the "pointer" is just out with the b button instead of in, and the second nun chuck is a little thicker. The iPod wheel looking think is actually the lites suroundin the Y button (then b button) to show what controller number you are.

NEWS FLASH the one with the analog stick is the nun chuck you retards.

The fifth side-view design looks less like a razor and more like a Wavebird cut in half.

FAKE!!!
This just looks like a student's work in graphic design who wants to show off his stuff. Japanese don't Japanize their own brochures.

Holy freaking cow 106,081 DS consoles sold from 23rd to 29th of January.I see the Xbox 360 is still last in the list.Sorry, i followed sizcoz link there.

Phil you are a Simian Shagwit.How is this fake ?.If you follow the link you can see the whole book .

So, can someone blow up the image of the green/red revolution cover plates and see the symbos on the port holes on the back peice. I would love to know what each port is/does. Anyone?
