Overhype symptoms remain prognosis for “Revolution”

Tuesday, April 11th, 2006

PointlessWasteOfTime has an article that is fully worth reading, “Fanboy Intervention”, regarding the atrocious state of the hype surrounding the “forthcomming” Nintendo console. Many of its points can of course be applied to any and every game with hype surrounding it, however they ring truer in this case.

A quote from the article:

‘”One photo shows a player holding the Revolution controller behind his head with the corresponding screen shot displaying the (sword) hilt being held up to the character’s face.”

That’s right. You’ll be required to swordfight with this thing, which means you’ll have to sit on your sofa, swinging your arm around like you’re having a seizure.’

I cannot wait. It will be like dancemats, for your arms and such. Catch the whole thing, here.
