New mystery Rev feature revealed

[wraggster]

Following Nintendo's initial Revolution controller unveiling at TGS last year, company execs have variously admitted that not all the next-gen console's secrets have been revealed. However, it seems that the cat's now been let out the bag regarding a second unique controller feature in the form of an accelerometer/motion sensor inside the machine's nunchaku attachment.

Reports first surfaced on the web last week and the rumours were given further credence after website AMN claimed to have spoken to a source close to Nintendo who confirmed the news. Now though, CVG has been informed by another well-placed development source, understandably speaking under strict conditions of anonymity, that the reports are indeed true.

However, factoring in the nunchaku's ability to sense movement in various direction, all manner of new possibilities arise. Most obviously, in FPS games for example, the secondary controller could be used to look around your environment, alongside controlling movement, meaning the wand would remain free to aim and fire your weapon at all times - imperative for those frantic gun-fights.

As always though, without official confirmation from Nintendo itself, it's impossible to entirely validate the reports. Still, for now we're happy to file this one under "almost a certainty" if not actually "definite", until the company steps forward and reveals all at E3 next month.

Why did you give this post a misleading title?

I would find a motion sensitive nunchaku annoying.
