Weird Revolution Mockup #1: The Identity Crisis

We thought it would be good for a laugh to look back at some of the Revolution controller designs that crept onto the Internet back when the system was nothing but a codename, a promise and a cheeky smile on Satoru Iwata's face. These are the Revolutions that weren't...and thankfully so.

We've deemed this one The Identity Crisis since, well, it's obviously not sure what the heck it wants to be. Just when we became comfortable with the idea of it stepping off a spaceship and demanding to see our leader, it suddenly took on all the properties of a pretentious sculpture created by an art student with a personal vendetta against ergonomics. Then again, it could also be some sort of infomercial-bought upper body exercise machine, in which case the inevitable fate of standing in a corner and gathering dust seems all too fitting.

And stop picturing yourself using the thing. You look ridiculous. It's like you're trying to fly a plane, drive a car and cover up your shame at the same time.
