I was reading the Times Magazine for this week..

And then.. I saw the new interface design Nintendo had for their game controller - Nintendo Revolution Controller

So... it is designed and targeted at those who DON'T play video games. They reckon the usual design is "too complex" for those who hate gaming.

The magazine says, "It's too hard for them. Like homework hard."

It looks like a wireless TV remote that sense the movement of your hand. (Alright.. I think it sounds weird. But it's "revolutionary" you know...)

So if you are playing Mario, you just move your hand up and down to jump. If you are playing sword fighting, you just jerk your controller front and back.

That's the idea... same for tennis, shooting, walking your dog (for the galz.. thaz so discriminatory.. why walking dogs?!) etc...

An advertisement for the controller... (weird...)

Well.. it does feel like someone changing the QWERTY keyboard back to an ABC keyboard.

Who knows? It might work.
