CHIBA, Japan (AP) - Nintendo thinks it has the answer for people scared off by all the complex switches and buttons on home video-game controllers - a simpler device that looks like a TV remote control and can be waved like a wand - or a baseball bat.
The Japanese game maker, famous for Super Mario and Pokemon, showed the gadget planned for its next-generation home machine called Revolution at the Tokyo Game Show outside Tokyo Friday, where rivals Sony Corp. and Microsoft Corp. have flashy booths for their next-generation consoles.
