And with those new consoles wireless controllers it's likely to happen a lot more!
18 | D says:
Why do I see that little issue happening? Lol.
Great comic. They're always sweat and simple and to the point. A dragged on joke is just not funny.
19 | Lovable Werewolf says:

I have a feeling that might happen to me alot when I get a Nintendo Revolution
20 | Digikid says:
Ryan...that is NOT the controller on his armor...that IS PART of the armor.
Good comic.
21 | Omega-Protoman says:
Now there's a problem that Nintenda may not have anticipated when they decided to make it look like a remote.
And I can easily see that happening.
22 | Etoli says:
That is hilarious. You know it's true, too. Not going to be a problem here, it's all about the 360 at my house...
23 | Switch 9 says:

36 | HappyWraith says:

37 | the grunt that doesnt wanna die says:

38 | Zealot Arbiter says:
Cortana still looks hawt ^^
cool strip!
39 | spartan001 says:
lol there is truth in this comic...also while i will never buy a revolution is be ause of that controller man its just...uncool i mean i though it may go uphill but no it only went down hill anyways enough from me, good job man keep up the good work
40 | bumn 187or 186or tyler g says:
uuuu well all i know is the rev is two in 1 controllers and you
people like 38 are wered
41 | Calliope says:
Hahaha...
Great job! I love the second panel where there's a close up on Cortana's face... =D Funny stuff. But my fave would be the mini MC and Mario figures on the TV!! LOL
42 | RuntyLime says:
Best Strip Ever! Ya the new nintendo revoulution controlers are totaly stupid. I agree with Tryan Shootamee. Stop making millions of stupid mario games! And Stop making gay game systems! Nintendo sucks!
43 | Mamucks says:
YEAH IM agree with runtylime nintendo sucks and the control is very stupid for playing videogames
44 | xtremdum says:
CLASSIC but Mario rules
finaly a good classic
45 | Bebop117 (my Gamertag) says:
LOL! That comic was funny. In the second slide Cortana's nose looks purple.
46 | Elite Samurai says:
darn, i cant see the last slide....
47 | MiNdWeLeR says:
Remote control-er or not we all know that when Smash 3 comes out no one will be able to resist regardless of the controler
48 | 41 chief's says:
so agree with runtylime and tryan shootamee, they need to stop making super mario 6,872,117! i mean the same thing happend to Oddworld. the first 2 games were fun and a challange (PS1) but now the 3rd and 4th games are stupid as hell with no thought to em at all. if you can't make a better game sequal don't even bother trying. it puts the previous games to shame.
anyway GREAT COMIC!!!!!! don't trust nintendo!
49 | bubbleboy says:
that was't that funny, you have had better.... Oh well, i still enjoy them.
50 | Zyrra says:
The only good thing about nintendo is (don't shoot me) the pokemon colluseum game(s)... and nintendogs hehe, but I agree, the tech these days is getting so small! (I'm assuming that's what this comic was about?)
51 | halo2fan says:
DUDE DONT DISS NINTENDO! or you'll get the lawyers and stuff commin at you...besides remember its like the best game company ever dudes...i havent seen the revolution controls though... hmm...
52 | Grizzled Ancient says:
nintendo gave a good jump start into video games but it can't keep up any longer or else it's name is gunna fall...and hard...
love the mario and chief on the TV...great comic!
53 | Some stupid random person says:
hehe good one!
i thought that the original nintendo controlers were hard, now they're just inconvient! how the hell are you suppose to hold on to the darn thing?! it's gunna slip outta ur hand the minute you start to play anything intense...
great comic
54 | Raptor 27 says:
Man, Cortana is so pretty on that close up. I don't know the revolution so I don't get the joke though.
55 | Vipercheif says:
careful though the 360 is wireless controllrs too wouldnt want to loose thoes too haha
56 | Yearightsure says:
I am ASTOUNED at the number of people on this forum who make postings with no intelligence whatsoever to them. This comic is less of a burn on Nintendo than is is on MC, for stupidity.Those of you who laugh at this comic are judging the controller by it's appearance with no thought to how it can affect gameplay. Honestly, I don't think that losing the controller will be that much of a problem. I will be buying a 360, if only for Halo 3 and PDZ, but the Nintendo Revolution is where most of my cash is going. The controller is different, yes, but the potential is there to deliver an awesome gaming experience. Look at how Nintendo brought gaming out of the graveyard with the original Super Mario, and how they set the standard for 3D gaming with the analog stick. Nintendo did it before, they will do it again. For sequels, they keep making them because people keep wanting them, so if you want to blame anyone for them blame the consumers who love them so much, and so long as they continue to innovate their games, people will keep buying them for a long time. Also, I do not believe Nintendo is going to go out anytime soon, they are not concerned with dominating the market as much as Sony or Microsoft, Nintendo has it's own area of the market that it excels in, the younger market, while Sony and Microsoft mostly market to the 18+ market. Also, at least Nintendo makes reliable hardware, unlike Sony (you all know it is true), not to mention that Nintendo makes the best first party games in the business. Oddworld games may have become crappy, but Mario is still going strong.
57 | zero says:
Wow, this was one of those jokes that slowly kills your gut. Nice job.
58 | ed908 says:
i agree with yeahrightsure. Ok, nintendo may be losing its top spot, it may have already lost it. But if there is a leap in video gaming, nintendo is behind it. You wouldn't have your xbox or ps2 without nintendo. You wouldn't have first person shooters without nitendo. Remember Goldeneye? Yeah. Don't diss the controller until we get to use it. Or else you sound like, and are, a complete...how do you stupid people say it..."dumbazz"? Anyways, I have to choose one console, only one. PS3 is out of the question, so i might go with the 360. Sorry nintendo. Again, they're dying, but they made the industry. They will always be remembered as the father of gaming, including wittle Mastercheif.
59 | Tryan Shootamee says:
uhhh...just because we have an opinion that doesn't agree with yours doesn't mean that we're "morons" you may enjoy nintendo but some people don't. and the whole mario makin 300 games, the fans may want halo 3 or 4 but if it wasn't gunna be a good game i would rather stick with the first 2 then see it fall. yeah people keep buying mario but ask em which would be their favorite? the newer or the classics? and if nintendo isn't concerned with keeping up then why make a new game consol? if they arn't concerned, then everyone would keep buying 64's and game cubes then right? and think about the new controller...how good are you at handling a PS controller with an anolog and a directional pad at the same time. i'm sure xbox and PS kept that in mind and made the games using either one, or not relying on the other. that's why most people look at nintendo controllers (original) and say that's it's tedious.
anyway i did laugh at this comic, and i think that we should try to say our opinions without pointing anyone else out.
60 | KneeCaps says:
the new controller is like spilting the xbox and PS controllers in half...try holding onto that!! ahahahahah... bettcha cant! can you???
great comic...i will charish this moment forever...brought a tear to me eye! ahaha

62 | some person says:
lol i like mini-mario and mini-chief the best keep up the great work ;)
63 | mplacki says:
Gotta say this:
ZOMG! An actual *MEANINGFUL* first post!
Having said that... lol! You should see our basement downstairs - remote for the stereo, TV, VCR, DVD Player, satellite box, and probably more that I can't remember.
64 | Ice Falcon says:
Lol! I love how the mini MC is pointing his SMG at Mario! That is just hilarious! I wish there could be a contest between those two.
Great job! Keep it up!
65 | the great pie says:
REVOLUTION SUCKS!!! those controllers will make you look really spazzy. and halo2fan, shut up and play mario#200th sequel
66 | s.p.n.k.r says:
eerm... maybey you guys can fight this out on the forum, and just give some comic-comment... btw, great comic.. (again) :D
67 | TheComet says:
lol, looks like nintendo doesn't have it's former edge from being the first to make a 3D gaming system ;)
68 | ed908 says:
Great pie, if you want us to pay attention to you, then talk like you're human. I won't attack anymor than that. And tyrant, plz reserve your judgement until you play with the controller. You mentioned the ps and xbox controller...nintendo layed the ground for those too.
And everyone: CHILL OUT!! Maybe you didn't know, but nintendo includes an adapter to make it just like a normal controller. The clicker type controller kinda slides into this shell type componet.
69 | Spartan058-Halogeeky says:
yeah really, let's let the dust settle over, and maybe disrupt everything on the forum...this is not the place to get into an argument. let's try not to bring mr. smilely or gruntsbane or some other halo baby leader person into MAKE us calm down. they're probably either laughing at how stupid we all are, or halla frusterated. so let's calm down before this goes tooooooo far.
70 | Yayap and Zuka says:
Nice one! That crazy remote losing mc... Hah hah! (knee slap)
71 | bleh says:
i'd luagh he he lost the VCR too
72 | Hot n' Sexy Elite says:
Lol, he lost the remote! (I wonder if he'd find all his other stuff I hid?)
73 | isagenaK iaR says:
Whoa, calm down. How can you say the Revolution sucks? Yes, they're making fun of the controller in the strip, but have you actually played with the Revolution? Do you have evidence that it sucks? Do you have signs of puberty? For all of those I say "I think not"
74 | Spartan058-Halogeeky says:
i know that i am probably "spaming" right now...but this has to be shared to the world, because i screamed my head off and in case no one has read the NEW article about the halo movie...i HAVE TO SHARE!!!READ THIS>>>>>
Peter Jackson, yes...Peter Jackson...the lord of the Rings guy...is PRODUCING THE HALO FILM!!!! NO JOKE!!!!! BUNGIE THEMSELVES!!!!!!!SAID IT!!! on the website please read to get full article...*pant deep breath pant*....OMG!!!!!!!! AND THEY'RE MAKING TO SCALE SCENES OF FORRUNNER BUILDINGS AND STUFF LIKE THAT!!!!
75 | arbiters malice says:
EXCELENT!!!!,
i have aven more reason to hate nintendo(stupid jibbing morons) and a kiwi is making the halo movie, Peter Jackson will do a good job as usual, and as for nintendo, here in Australia we dont even get any good ds games i.e goldeneye, great comic
76 | MC man says:
Cortana is so hot in this one.
77 | hgdjhg says:
i wonder what mcs old amor would look like wileding an energy sword or dueling smgss. mhmm well good work
78 | poo head says:
this was stupid. not funny. stupid.
79 | Joey says:
[Quote]You wouldn't have your xbox or ps2 without nintendo. You wouldn't have first person shooters without nitendo. Remember Goldeneye [EndQuote]
But Ed908... you wouldnt have goldeneye without wolfenstien, you wouldnt have nintendo with out amiga.. the whole, you wouldnt have thing could go on for a while.
So , good comic very funny work. Yes i think nitendo's controllers will be awkward and they make you pay for addins too. No i dont care if people think im a moron for having an opinion. Its a fact, GOD HATES console fanboys. Perhaps we should tolerate other peoples opinions rather than earbash them with our own.

Cortana is so hot in this one.

the revolution's gonna rawk meh sawx. =)
82 | THEWaGoN117 says:
that was like a diss to XBOX 360.
83 | Yo Yo Joe says:
The revolution is the best system coming out, the controller looks similar to a remote, wow - you're smart, and a gamepad looks like a gamepad omfg lol it look's like a gamepad! No, It's not funny, you're discouraging people from buying a revolution, you're most likely a close minded person who has no idea what it does, you only look at the outside and judge it. Your strip isn't funny, because comparing the revolution controller to a TV remote controller just isn't funny at all, it's logical that controllers would eventually resemble them because a games console like a DVD player and TV is something you interact with using a remote. In short you're a fool to diss the controller in any way, the PS3 one at least is a bit more obvious, but not the revolution's, are you going to make fun of the 360 controller in next weeks strip? No? why not? because it doesn't resemble anything in the slightest of something else? D'you get my point now? There is nothing funny at all about this, it only appeals to 14-18 year old fanboys that live off their parents, who live on the internet and don't buy game systems for themselves, and close minded people like yourselves afraid of change, unable to understand innovation or change. For me, someone who applauds Nintendo and the direction it's going, I find this incredibly irritating, I wish people like you didn't play games, period. Because if it were up to you this industry would never develop beyond what the NES started.
84 | gruntsbane says:
Now, if I were a fan boy then why did I go and buy that gamecube before I bought my Xbox? hmmmm.
85 | Randy Orton says:
Man Halo would Own on revolution since that controller is the best for first person shooters and just about all PC games. It's better then a mouse because you have complete freedom in the air to move it around AND it detects if you're tilting it as well.
The nunchuku style OWNS as well, it looks futuristic the way you can play games with it, you could have like a Soul Calibur game, where you slash people up with the remote and move with the analog, or a RTS oh man, there're so many possibilities.
The 360 controller is nice, but it's nothing more than a Controller S with the B and W buttons moved. The 360 in general looks like it will fail because it can't beat Sony at it's own game, due to sonys exclusive franchises and it can't beat Nintendo at it's since Ninty not only have the franchises, but also the uniqueness factor which will attract a whole manor of developers and gamer interest that you wouldn't find on the other systems.
Right now, Halo 3 is the only reason worth getting a 360, because to be honest most of the games on 360 aren't looking so hot, bad frame rates, dull gameplay, even DOA and PGR3 once you get past the graphics aren't much of an overhaul from the Xbox versions.
What's to say Halo3 won't be the same? If they're gonna try and pull it out when PS3 launches then it will be a rushed piece of garbage like halo 2 was, which was only good for it's multiplayer. The graphics engine for Halo 3 will be the same used in Halo 2 as Bungie have said and it's supposedly going to come out in Spring 2006 when PS3 comes out, so again I don't think it will be much of an overhaul from the Xbox version.
I'm sorry Xguys but it's the truth, The Evolution of Playstaion and Nintendo has passed Microsoft by...
86 | MC man says:
Halo2 wasnt rushed at all! It took forever to make and pushed back too many times!
And Caboose, I was serious.
87 | David says:
the controller is right there lol, and great strip too!
88 | XFLOP180 says:
Revolution OWNS 360, 360 is a overhyped piece of garbage which looks like a tampon
89 | NINTENDO FAN says:
I AGREE WITH XFLOP180 AND ALL YA OTHER PEOPLE ABOUT THE REVOLUTION...nintendo shall rule all from begginnin till the end...but wouldnt it be cool if there was just 1 system? where they could make a game with Samus and Masterchief...that would kick ass! I would pay a hundred bucks just for that!!!!!!!
90 | Creativename says:
That would be an issue "whered i put my -BLAM- remotes ?" *off topic* I think Nintendo died a little with the Gamecube, But the 360 will have Halo 3 which means new models in the comics AWESOME !
91 | oh my god u killed kenny says:
i think xbox360 will die a little....yeah so....take that....
92 | Savage Hoax says:
[quote=ed908]You wouldn't have first person shooters without nitendo. Remember Goldeneye?[/quote]
*COUGH*SPLUTER*
EXSCUSE ME?!?!?! nintendo makes first ever FPS???
your gaming history is way of.
first ever first person shooter was wolfenstin 3D by ID software, not nintendo., the granddaddy of all other FPS to come after it. (note: it wasnt made by nintendo...)
by the way randy, mouse and keyboard beast every other consol controler hands down. (for FPS)
93 | ed908 says:
savage hoax, are you kidding me? i play wolfestin on my graphing calculator. Goldeneye did it right, at least they really brought it to what you see today.
Like i said, if there's a big jump in videogaming, nintendo's behind it. Why? because Sony and Microsoft are too scared to come out of their little holes and try something new. And i wouldn't say that the 360'll suck, though...but still. Oh, another reason why the rev. has a good chance? PS3=700 bucks as of now. or so i heard, but i'm positive someone'll correct me if i'm wrong.
94 | VONOCO says:
ITS COOL I NO GET IT THOUGH........
95 | woot man im cool says:
cortanas hot... and well yah
96 | NickRaiderT says:

100 | Prophet you should Regret says:
Well Mario was getting shot so Nintedos gone or the remote was in the Nintendo.
gb 8/10
101 | Joshua says:
Yeah so I'm probably gonna get a rev. along w/a 360 The End
102 | Masterchief evil says:
lol
103 | bungie says:
what!!! chief has a revolution but but i thought he was a xbox fan and himself to. weird huh
104 | {SS}Ogie says:
hahahah did you see on the tv!! mario and master cheif hah ......{why is mario in it anyways?}
105 | MiniSiets says:
Lol, funny how people have no knowledge of just how great the Revolution will be and all they know is that the controllers will be different. I hope you all realize that the Revolution will be backwards compatible with every single previous console Nintendo game you ever played. They might even be downloadable onto the console if I'm not mistaken. Secondly, the controllers come with plugin addons, so there can still be games that use more normal controllers through the plugins.
I'm not saying you guys have to like the system, but damn don't be so negative towards it and assume it's gonna suck when A. you know nothing about it, and B. you've never even played it yet. Games don't always require blood, violence, and swearing in order to be great either. I just knew people would get so ignorant after I read this comic.
