Post IGN presents fan-made Revolution controllers



A few days ago, IGN Gear made a few conceptual images
of what they felt, with all the news and rumors flying around, the Revolution controller could look like – after all,
with all these images on the internet, why shouldn’t a major news publication get in on the fun?



Well, the IGN readers struck back, and sent their own ideas for the enigmatic yet-to-be-revealed controller, and IGN
posted about 20 or so of their ideas - some are okay, most are just bad (such as taping a bunch of older controllers
together and adding an egg beater and toilet paper, as pictured). I’ll admit, I am a sucker for Revolution controller
mockups, much in the way some people enjoy those Fox “When Animals Attack Celebrity Look-alikes” specials – I can not
look away, despite the hideousness of it all. So enjoy, if you dare.

Is it me, or are half the controllers an adaptation of an older console's controller? I see 'controllers' looking like a TV remote or a SNES pad with a trackball or another idea nintendo have leaked.

The N64 pad was one of the best I think, as its design allowed you to play with d-pad or analog control depending on the game. Most controllers seem to follow the dual shock pad as a base for them (2 analog sticks, L/R buttons, etc.). It would be great if nintendo came up with another imaginative pad and made the Revolution a great console.
