The Nintendo Revolution controller has been shown!
It deals with motion sensors and it is shaped similar to a remote control (so that non-gamers can easily get into it).
How it works is let's say you are playing Zelda. You can move with an optional additon of an Analog stick and when you swing the remote-shaped controller to the left, Link will slash his sword to the left - very nifty-sounding.

Now, for those who dislike the new controller, here's something for you: you can use a normal Gamecube controller! On the top of the console, you can simply plug in an old GameCube controller and use that instead of the new motion sensor ones.

Anyway, enough babbling and now PICTURES; huzzah:

For information or various uses, you can read up on it here.

yeah, I dunno... I'll have to try it before I knock it, but it doesn't look too great...

Hah, this is why new things don't sell. People are creatures of habit, the are use to what they have previously seen and previously done. Anything new scares people like the closeminded people of this board. (IE:David)

For those who are saying "omg this is teh sux," they have announced a little something new that will come as an add-on for the controllers: a shell!

If you don't like the new controller (I would think it's best for FPS, but maybe not action games), you can simply take the new controller and slide it into this shell and bam, you have your old GCN controller with all of the motion sensoring of the new one!

Note: This is not an official image, but IGN's presumption of what it'll look like

well, at least that gives us something... I just think the whole remote control concept looks strange and somewhat limited, but I'd be willing to try it.
