The Revolution controller has been shown to many developers according to the much-loved Reggie Fils-Aime. Shame its not been shown to fans yet.

Nintendo of America VP of sales and marketing Reggie Fils-Aime, who became somewhat of an icon during E3 2004, has confirmed that many developers have had a chance to see the elusive controller for the Revolution. Speaking to American magazine EGM he stated just because "you and your fans haven't seen the controller doesn't mean that no one else has."

"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 continued, "I saw it firsthand with DS, we're seeing it now with Revolution,".

Fils-Aime stated that Iwata has already given hints about the controller during E3. "If you just think about it, we're going to have the ability through wireless internet to download all your great games from NES, SNES, N64," he said. "Think about it - each of those controllers are different. How are you gonna play? That captured some of 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 kind of configuration, which is vastly different than a sheer horsepower kind of game."

He also spoke about the console itself, stating that the price would be significantly lower than the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3. "We have to assume that from a pricing standpoint, we will be substantially lower than the competition," he said, giving the reason for the lower price is that the Revolution won't have "all of that added fluff that a gamer, frankly, doesn't [want] - it's not core to gaming."

Analysts are speculating that Nintendo will release more details in August, due to the fact that Nintendo tend to make announcements during that month. We'll just have to wait and see.
