Litt mer om Nintendo & Super Mario 128.
Gaming legend Shigeru Miyamoto says to tech magazine Wired that the Revolution will be next generation's "big gun".
The Nintendo Revolution will stand apart from the Xbox 360 and the PS3 next generation, and will be the "big gun", says Miyamoto. Why? Well its all down to that controller.
Miyamoto again stated that though Nintendo had innovated controlling games again and again with analog stick, rumble and wireless pads, their ideas were always stolen.
The new controller is being kept under wraps as it is so vital to the Revolution. "The user interface is going to drive the Revolution software design, that's what's going to make our software stand out," he said.
Elsewhere in the interview, the Revolution games download feature was mentioned, with Miyamoto saying the hardware would allow any past game to be played on it "technologically speaking... though it's a matter of picking which ones we want to have availiable." So not the whole collection then, but maybe ones hand-picked by Shigsy himself?
And Mario 128? "We think we want it on Revolution. We're searching for that fundamental idea that's going to drive the next 3D Mario game," he said, which backs up previous comments by him that the project has yet to find a definite focus, for example the FLUDD-enhanced gameplay of Sunshine.
Finally, he spoke of Nintendogs, which he said had brought back gamers who were now disinterested in gaming, and even introduced people into video games for the first time. This innovation, he stressed, is his goal - creating games which are new and fun to play.

The producer of the Metal Gear series says that he's excited about Revolution and talks Metal Gear Solid 4...
Hideo Kojima of Metal Gear Solid fame is interviewed in the new issue of Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu, and has talked about the upcoming next-generation systems. He praises the PS3 for its high quality graphical capability and said the Xbox 360 will probably see a lot support from developers.
Talking on the subject of the Revolution, he said the system was currently surrounded by mystery, and was excited to find out what the system's suprise will be.
Could the Revolution see a version of Metal Gear Solid 4? Kojima said he wouldn't mind porting it to other systems, although it would require lots of staff and development funds. He said he would prefer, if making a title for the Revolution, to do something completely different.
So what magic will Kojima bring to the Revolution? Only time will tell...
