But while I’m complaining, let’s take a look at the overall design of this monstrosity, just to make sure that we’re all on the same page. I want fan boys to pay close attention because I am not biased. I own nearly every home console system ever created. Anyone and I do mean ANYONE should be able to see the flagrant flaws in this design.



First off, it’s a remote. Plain and simple. Wireless…good. Remote…bad. I can already see myself losing the thing and all the bright colors and flashing lights in the world aren’t going to help me with that. I sure hope the Nintendo Revolution has a built in page button so I can find my lost remote control. Next, who in their right mind puts the power button next to the directional pad? Pick it up wrong after a snack break or thumb slips off the D-pad and someone is going to be literally crying because they hadn’t saved in three hours. I hope it’s not very sensitive or requires a fingernail to push it all the way down.
