Speaking to Reuters at E3, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata confirms more info on Revolution before the year's end.

"We plan to give details on when we will launch it, what the price will be, what the controller will look like and how games can be played on it by the end of the year," said Nintendo's Satoru Iwata, who disregarded critism levelled against the company for not showing more of the console at E3, saying he didn't want to "to tip his hand" to rivals.

He said the company was already talking to third-party game publishers about including their old Nintendo-compatible games in the downloadable archives. Could this mean an original Goldeneye or Perfect Dark could appear on the Revolution?

He commented that while pricing of the downloadable games had not been decided, he said the company was thinking of various methods of getting them out there. They could charge users per game, or sell pre-paid cards in stores, or even give some games away as part of promotions.

Additionally, when asked about the newly unveiled GBA Micro, Iwata commented the GBA SP would continue to be made, and that Nintendo had not yet decided on a price point for the latest GBA incarnation.
