    That controller is ugly compared to the Revolution controller. Just look at the first pic, looks damn huge lol
    Also have a bend on it. I dont think Nintendo stole the idea from Sega, but you never know.

    Plus I really doubt that controller would be able to sense where it was being pointed at.

    Still, interesting find. I like to see prototypes of controllers.

    That controller would've killed your hands real quick-like.

    I've never read anything about it having a lightgun or gyro (especially that) built in, either. If anything the only possible thing it could've had would've been a lightgun, which isn't really very close to Rev tech.

    I agree it isn't exactly the revo. controller but remember they didn't have the technology we have 10 years ago...


    Yeah I love looking at proto-controllers

    They say it was being developed for NiGHTS 2... The pictures would be a little more credible if they say it was being developed for GunValkyrie.

    It, to me, looks like a controller/Light gun combo. And they were originally developing GV for the DC. And supposedly it was supposed to have a light gun/controller combo control scheme.

    Just throwing that out there as a suggestion, even though I'm sure they're not real.
