Four Questions, One Controller
How can Nintendo's new Revolution change the way you gꦓ🌸ame?
If it's all about simplicity, what are all these buttons for?
The Revolution controller may sense movement, but it can't read your mind. You've got to have some buttons on there somewhere. Right away you'll notice the familiar cross-shaped D-pad that Nintendo pioneered, along with four action buttons plus Start, Select and Home. The most obvious button is the large "A for Action!" taken straight from the GameCube's controller. It'll perform most basic functions; that's why it's placed so perfectly for y🍷our thumb. See below for a round trip vacation around the controller.
- We all know the D-pad. But what nuances will the Revoluti🗹on empower it 🐈with?
- Even if you're all thumಞbs, here's one button you'll nail every꧂ time.
- It's somewhat hidden, but this🦄 B trigger is lined up for your index finger. Shooꦗters, anyone?
- Now you 🧜can turn a Nintendo console on and 𒀰off without all that pesky walking.
- The mysterious Home button. Central men🎃u system? Online hub?
