The Revolution (UPDATED)

All right, you all know the facts now, so it's time to write up my opinions.

First up. FPS games. I'm a big fan of FPS games, even though you have to be quite picky with them these days. Metroid Prime 3 should make for an amazing combination of Adventure game and FPS, that I am dying to play. I despise the dual-analog controls, they're so very counterintuitive. I love the PC controls, so obviously this will make a good fit for me.

I also have a solid theory that Luigi's Mansion will make a good appearance on the revolution. Thinking about the mechanics of the game, and the abilities of the revolution controller, it would be even better! Not to mention, there was some flashlight mechanic demonstrated in that teaser video, and this quote from a July Shiggy interview just solidifies it.

"EGM: What about Luigi's Mansion? Is that series over, or will we ever see another?
Miyamoto: The director often says, "Make another one! Make another one!" and I want to use Luigi again."

All right, another thing on the agenda... Smash Bros Revolution. I have theories about this already forming in my head as well. Being an avid user of marth (well of course), I can imagine what this will be like.... I think. Imagine you're playing as Marth, or another swordsman. You dash toward the enemy using your analog stick, jump and vault over them, and then, just as you pass above them swing the controller downward, and watch the sword smash your oponent. Or alternately, imagine using ranged moves like Zelda's guided attack. With the proper controls, you could take a running jump, launch one of those attacks, and while you continue to somersault onto a platform guide the projectile right into your enemy. Or link's bow. You could now actually aim it with the controller rather than having to rely on timing it just right.

Well, I might update as more ideas dawn on me, but for now, peace.
