Nintendo Revoltuon controller

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"
