Nintendo President Satoru Iwata has thrown down the gauntlet to the game development world by saying they'll provide tools to "disrupt the traditional methods of game creation":

These tools include the controller for Nintendo's next home console (code-named Revolution), which lets users control the action on their television screens through the motion of the controller itself. The controller lets game developers create new kinds of gaming experiences, ones that enhance the experience for hard-core gamers while making video games more accessible and less intimidating to novices.

Also interesting is new partnerships with Sega and Hudson to offer downloadable access to some of their older titles via Revolution's Virtual Console, with over 1,000 Sega Genesis titles on offer.

nice. hopfully that range of sega titles will be expanded over time to include other sega consoles as well. wonder boy or alex kid in miricle world on the revolution would rock :)

heh which bit of it

I'm guessing he's talking about the design and not the system specs.

nobody even knows the specs yet! and did you see the Zelda DS trailer!!!! MANNNN SO GOOD.

I LITERALLY CAN NOT WAIT UNTIL E3 FOR MORE REV NEWS.

Are you being sarcastic or are you that much of a fanboy?

Just for all the old titles on one system this will be worth it.
Anything else for me is icing on the cake.

Really awesome tasty icing thats made of ice cream and chocolate. The games on the Revolution are going to be mad house!

Microsoft should re-learn their strange use of the term 'inovation' and get the real meaning of the word from the example that is Nintendo.
