An interesting take on the Revolution controller

Exactly. Everyone else is hyping it with speculation, Nintendo have said very little about it, they may have said it will be a new standard but that's a single comment, not exactly a huge amount of hype.

well its not the right thing to hype in my opinion. It handles the last for generation of nintendo consoles on its own people... AND ITS LEGAL THIS TIME TOO! thats somthing to be excited about imo.

I totally agree, people are over-hyping the controller. I am interested in downloading monster-amounts of old games, although i could just get them for free via my PC.

Also, just heard Sega are supporting retro downloads, so possibly megadrive/saturn emulation?

Also there is undoubtedly gonna be a good homebrew scene with the USB and SD-Card slots, plus the emulation will be hacked.

hmmm... sega... one of nintendos biggest rivals in history (well, for a long time at least) having their system emulated on a nintendo machine.. if nintendo does that, i will not even concider another next gen console.

Also a thought on the emulation- since nintendo has the rights to all the source code in every one of these games... well.. they might concider simply porting it to their machine rather than emulating it.

Nintendo has probably been the most understanding to the homebrew scene, but emulation has always been a thorn in their side. and they arnt stupid either.. they know that whatever they come up with will be hacked and studied to shreads. just a thought.

I was thinking the exact same thing, it seems more likely that these games will be ported rather than emulated, especially if there are non-Ninty systems.
