Technology Nintendo Revolution

These are the controller rumours I've heard:

The Nintendo Revolution's controllers will feature pressure sensitive pads and offer gamers a free online service, according to the latest rumours spilling off the internet..."It will be like controlling a game with one of those stress balls...You squeeze it to go faster."

The latest buzz on the upcoming Nintendo Revolution console is that its controller will skip the standard button-and-pad layout for an alternative interface, possibly a touchscreen (ala the DS, presumably). Then again, it could be that it’s motion activated. Or voice. Whatever the UI, the gang at Joystiq have some ideas on whether it’ll be worth the wait.

I can't find any pictures of the controllers, only fan-made mock ups.
 
Does anyone know if the downloable NES to N64 games will be part of Revolution's Online World? For example, if I was to download WWF No Mercy 64 or Perfect Dark could I go online with those old games and possibly play somebody whose downloaded those games.

I doubt it, since the games weren't online compatible.
 
Is it true that you can use ur gamecube controllers on the revolution too?

and some info...if ya want and hadnt heard it already...


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.


Iwata said the new console is aimed at customers who hate clutter and find current games and the controllers used to play them to be confusing and difficult.

I heard that the NES and N64 were somehow online capable, but never taken advantage of. It may be true also because I heard there was a rare N64 in japan that was online and had the phone jack piece in it.

Hopefully, Nintendo can do something to make all their older games online interactive on the Revolution.
