Nintendo's Revoltuon controller was the star of the Tokyo Game Show, a three-day event that opened in Japan on Friday, where Nintendo and its rivals, Sony and Microsoft, talked about their new consoles.
While most controllers require two hands and are studded with buttons and joysticks, the new controller has fewer features, giving it the appearance of a TV remote control reports New York Times .
The intuitive, pioneering interface allows players to run, jump, spin, slide, shoot, steer, accelerate, bank, dive, kick, throw and score in a way never experienced in the history of gaming
The controller, which was showcased in bright red, lime green, black, silver or white, can also be fitted with a joystick-type add-on. Several players can compete against each other simultaneously.
Nintendo's European senior director of marketing, Jim Merrick, says that the Nintendo Revolution Freehand-style Controller is only the beginning of Nintendo's plans to expand the gaming population, "We've talked a lot about expanding the gaming population and breaking down barriers, and the new freehand-style controller, as we're calling it, is very much a part of that"
