  1. Comment - Images: Nintendo Revolution Controller

    The wireless is RF. It even has a built-in WaveBird signal out of the box without any need for the clunky RF sensors.

    The motion sensors are IR. There's two sensors, one on each side of the TV. There's definitely a PowerGlove element here, but also imagine the 3rd-party tilt-sensitive joysticks for NES and the EyeToy for PS2... only with improved reaction time and more precision... not to mention it apparently works. I'm thinking of it like a virtual stylus... and I'm a huge fan of the NDS stylus, especially in FPS.

    As for how you'd play old-school NES games, turn the controller on its side, and voila! We have an old-school NES controller! I just wish it had more buttons like a y/x above the b/a, so you could play SNES ports without any add-ons.
