Nintendo Power: What do you like most about the Revolution controller?
Hideki Konno: We're doing a lot of experiments right now with the Revolution controller and obviously with the direct pointing device (DPD) and its ability to track movement and distance. You know, that's huge, because that's a brand-new thing that we've never seen before in any controller. Trying to envision all the different things we could do with that motion sensor, that DPD, is a little mind-boggling.
NP: Where do you think the Mario Kart series can go from here?
Konno: As you know, Mario Kart has appeared on all of Nintendo's platforms so far, and I think it's done its job on the DS, or at least I hope it will with what's new. So the next logical step, of course, is the Revolution. Really what we hope to do is continue to bring new and creative things to the franchise that appeal not only to our established user base, but also bring new people into the game.

Nothing but good things have been said about the REV, and yes, I know that it doesn't translate directly to thrid-party support, but still, it has to mean something.

It's not on the NES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Virtual Boy. Oh, and that Pocket Pikachu thing. And Game & Watches.
6/12 counts as all? It's just as close to none as all.
Though it was first on the Super NES, so the idea wasn't conceived of yet before that, so that explains the absence on the G&Ws and the NES and it probably wouldn't have looked good on the Game Boy. Similarly, it probably wouldn't have looked good on the GBC, which they didn't have many games for anyway. And the Virtual Boy? Pfff. And the Pocket Pikachu thing? An even bigger "pfff".
I think by saying "every one of Nintendo's platforms" what is meant is every console since the Super NES, and only the more recent handhelds.
So is it really any surprise that a Revolution version is on its way? Even if it was still seemingly a 50/50 chance it wouldn't be a surprise if it did show up.

I wouldn't count out a 2 second dev clip tho this E3 just like the very short dev clip I saw back at the E3 2001 press conference. You know, before it had double the dash.
