Want to forget about the girly Gamecube controllers in all of their flimsy-ness? Nintendo's focus on creative new ways to play video games finally seems to be paying off. The most recent example: a bizarre, but impressive new controller for the company's upcoming Revolution system.
The Revolution device Nintendo unveiled at the Tokyo Game Show looks like a regular TV remote control, with one button under gamers' thumbs and another for their trigger fingers. In a unique twist, the wireless controller senses its position, angle and orientation relative to the screen. Now, fantasy fans can slash their broadswords at goblins with a swing of the arm. Shooter-game enthusiasts can take pinpoint aim at onscreen foes. Virtual racers can really lean into those hairpin turns. At least one reporter who got to try out the new gizmo found it intuitive, impressive, and a lot of fun.
Nintendo realized it couldn't compete with the PlayStation or Xbox for pixel-pushing power, it decided to focus instead on creating engaging new ways to play games. While its rivals raced to unveil louder, shinier versions of the same ol' shooting or racing titles, Nintendo was inviting players to herd groups of helpful little aliens in Pikmin, or solve dizzying barrages of five-second minigames in WarioWare. Stay tuned for more pictures and reviews. I dunno if I'm a fan of the one handed game playing....

I would have to say that the new Nintendo system is not impressive.
While they do offer a lot of innovation, they cannot survive off this alone.
They are stepping into the unknown, and it is easy for them to get lost and die.
My #2 rule is "One can never succeed by stepping in an arena of foes, with guns that have instructions written in Japanese."
In other words, don't go into battle with unknown risky technology, because you'll end up dead.
