Engadget is featuring an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto. 

In commenting on the Revolution controller, Miyamoto says:

"Personally, I feel that first-person shooters are really well-suited for this controller. I’ve worked on them in the past in the Metroid Prime Series. And to be honest, I felt that first-person shooter controls on a classic controller were kind of clunky. They didn’t feel very—they didn’t feel very right. Whereas with this controller, with the nunchuck-style of controller it’s extremely natural and extremely intuitive. First-person shooters are a genre that are very popular in the United States, and I think that when gamers get their hands on this controller and start playing first-person shooters with it they’re going to find it’s probably the best way to play that kind of game."

Yeah, I can recall when I first made the leap from console gaming to PC gaming.  I had been playing way too much Goldeneye on the N64 (possibly the single best console shooter, ever) for months during my freshman year of college.  At some point, I started playing Rainbow 6: Rogue Spear, a very fun tactical shooter.  It was hard to play Goldeneye after that since FPS controls on a console just seem weird.  To date, I haven't purchased a single FPS (MGS3 (check out my review on Amazon) doesn't count) on console systems for the specific reason that there's no reason for me to do so.

As has been iterated by others, this will be a huge selling point for Nintendo: they will offer all games and non-gamers an entirely unique experience that cannot be had on any other platforms, including PC.  So far, the Revolution is the only "must have" on my list of next-gen consoles.

On a related note, there's a nice discussion regarding the Revolution hardware at Arstechnica.  I, along with some other Nintendo fanbois, make some good arguments for the plausibility of the "leaked" hardware specs.  Let's hope that Nintendo pulls through

Man, I'm just salivating for more info!
