At least they've told us when we will see rather than just saying 'later'. Could Spaceworld be coming again? To be perfectly honest, this is my dream controller. I really don't care how beautiful the games are now, because it really doesn't matter.

How about in a FPS, allowing you to mimick each different weapon? For example, to reload your shotgun, you simply cock it in a similar fashion. The triggers on the attachment would act as the trigger of the gun. then you rotate it sideways to load a grenade, and then that is fired with the second trigger. Each weapon in an FPS could have different controls. It would be like actually being there.

Remember how the Gamecube controller changed from the initial version that was shown at Spaceworld 2000. The A and B buttons were different colours, and the B button was shaped like the X and Y. I personally prefered that version. And the Start/pause button was red and rounder. I reckon that the controller on the video is the newer one. Heck even the console itself has changed slightly. Now the word Revolution, has been replaced by the Nintendo logo. Though I wouldn't rule out the console still being called Revolution, I reackon that this is temporary while they create a new logo/name.

Thank God for 2Meg Braodband. Only 5 Minutes and counting.

OK, I just had thought. Imagine a wavebird controller, but the whole battery pack area is replaced with a large slot for the rev. controller to slot into. For those of you with the wavebird, you should be able to see what i mean. Looking at the size of the Rev. controller, it could quite easily slot into a wavebird style controller, and be perfectly safe. The power and rumble, and gyro feature would be provided byt the Rev. controller, and the traditional style face button layout would be provided by the add-on. All you would see of the rev. controller is the top poking out, which would still provide you with the power button for example. IMO, this is perfect for people who don't want to follow the new approach with classic style games. Also a dock similar to those with iPod would work perfectly for recharge, and it would look cool too.

I agree the wire needs to be longer. It's obviously on a wire, so that it doesn't need it's own seperate power source. I think it's good though, as it means you are free to move your arms seperately with ease. They said a conventional controller add-on will be available. I reckon that this won't be on a wire. It'll just plug in the bottom, and you'll hold that. The Rev. controller will sit in the top, or round the back. By the looks of it, the controller has a huge battery. I wouldn't doubt Nintendo's abilities to keep the power running for as long as the wavebird.

Stream Iwata's keynote here. It's Enlish dubbed so don't worry. Enjoy.

So Iwata mentioned the wi-fi connection at TGS, and mentioned that more would be revealed in October . Will this be Spaceworld? Will it be a one-off press event? Will we see game? Post your thopughts here.

I've been studying the video closely, and I noticed that on the video the 2 buttons at the bottom of the controller sat x and y rather than a and b. interesting.

Does anyone remember when the N64 came out? I can remember people mocking the controller, saying stuff like "you need 3 hands to play it." They looked at it and judged it by it's shape. What's funny is it's features became industry standard within a generation. Can Nintendo do the same? I hope so.

After seeing the promo video (which I must say was excellently made) I am convinced. Again, it can be seen here They've simply shown the game from the TVs perspective, and you see a load of people playing games. There's no screenshots at all, just people's body movement, and sound. It's really fantastic.

I don't think they've dropped the name, they just haven't decided a final name yet. Yes the word "revolution" is no longer on the console or controller, but there isn't a name to replace Revolution, and I'm pretty sure that Iwata still refers to it as Revolution also. I'm not saying I want it to stay like this, but I'm just saying, that the name hasn't been dropped/changed yet so don't jump to conclusions.

Only Nintendo could come out and surprise us all like this. It just goes to show that no matter how well we all guess what it'll looke like, we're miles away. Although, to all those people who designed a controller with 2 parts, well done. I need to see it in action, but I have to say I love it's strangness. It's quite obvious it,s been designed to cater for all players, new and old, experienced and rookie. I always thought that it would look really strange at first, and I would be surprised. Simply altering the GC controller wouldn't be enough for it to be "Revolutionary". Well done Nintendo. I just hope that you can convince the rest of the world now.
