Revolution controller’s design a winner with Japanese gamers
Almost half of the Japanese public rate the Nintendo Revolution’s controller as “interesting and ground-breaking”, according to a recent Famitsu survey.
45.6% of those surveyed indicated their support for Nintendo’s unconventional controller design. In a related survey, 41.7% of those planning to buy the Revolution console made their decision based on their enthusiasm for the wand-like controller.
The remainder of survey respondents were fairly evenly split between three more mediocre responses: some rated the controller’s design as merely “good”, others commented that it looks hard to control, and a significant proportion expressed a preference for a normal, more traditional controller design.
