The entire industry has been clamoring for a taste of Nintendo's so-called next-generation 'revolution.' So have we. Every time Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has opened his mouth, he underscored time and time again Nintendo would not be following the traditional path of a new console. Rumors have persisted for weeks about touch screens, gyroscope functions, virtual headsets, and everything else under the sun.

Today at the Tokyo Game Show, Nintendo finally revealed their big secret to the world. IGN and 1UP.com have seen it, touched it, and played games with it. A site from Norway taped the Nintendo presentation video at TGS. Check out their exthaustive coverage:

At first i was disappointed, buy the design grows on you, and after reading the review at gamespot.com it sounds like a very interesting piece of kit. Although some games may not be too suited to this design, i'm sure they will allow the use of the GC controller for more 'traditional' games.

For me this lives up to all the expectations and hype. Not one of the mock ups on the net was even close, of that i'm glad.
