Speaking to Electronic Gaming Monthly Magazine, the omnipresent force that is Reggie Fils-Aime made some really rather interesting comments about the level of Revolution disclosure to third-parties.
“The thing that I always find surprising, and certainly in the last year I've had wonderful opportunities to spend quality time with a number of our key third-party publishers, is when you sit down and share the innovation with them, just how excited they get,” he said. “I saw it firsthand with DS; we're seeing it now with Revolution. The fact that you and your fans haven't seen the controller doesn't mean that no one else has.”
Fils-Aime continued, “I mean, again, and Mr. Iwata did this during his presentation – if you just think about it, we're going to have the ability through wireless internet to download all of your great games from NES, SNES, N64. Think about it: Each of those controllers were different. How are you gonna play? That captured some the imagination of what our controller needs to be able to do, and certainly as you get into the meat of that type of innovation with the developers, their eyes truly light up because they start to imagine what's possible with that type of configuration, which is vastly different than a sheer horsepower type of game.”
Although this is one of the more specific hints regarding Nintendo’s Big Secret, we’re all still very much in the dark - a frustrating and not very SPOnGian predicament. Let us know what you think we’ll be seeing in the forum below – if you’re right, we’ll supply you with a Revolution at launch. Not bad, eh?
