First details on the big N's next gen console

Thursday 23-Dec-2004 12:42 PM Button you're not exactly going to be thrilled...
Nintendo has been keeping notoriously quiet with regards to plans for its next-generation console, codenamed the Revolution, which is set to be finally revealed at next year's E3.

It's not something you can exactly blame them for, with a DS handheld launch across Japan and the US to mastermind - and all that that entails. However we have come across a snippet of info from a fairly unlikely source, which seems to be the first concrete info on the Big N's Revolution.

Japanese mag Diamond Weekly is reporting that the Revolution will apparently ditch one of the Big N's trademark features, its controller layout, with the D-pad and A and B buttons jettisoned and now set to become part of gaming history.

What will they come up with in the to replace this Big N staple? Well no-one knows exactly, but with the innovation show in the DS's touch screen and breath control, the Nintendo has shown it's not exactly shy of embracing the new.

So what should Nintendo be aiming for with its apparently new controller setup for the Revolution? Let the rampant speculation begin in the forums below.
