It will be interesting to see what kind of shells Nintendo is going to offer. Will they release shells that look like current or past controllers or will they take it a step futher and improve on the existing design they already have?

I don't know that the "shell" will contrtol GameCube games. I thought that was the point of the ports on the side for GC controllers.

I find that's more due to the fact that the PS2 uses shapes instead of letters. A lot of older consoles don't have coloured buttons but I haven't had difficulty with them. The letters give them some sort of logical order. But I always have to look down on the Playstation. I have no clue where triangle is in relation to square. It's all arbitrary so the only way to figure out where anything is is memorization.
The Cube is finished so I don't see much reason to release a new Wavebird. I don't think anyone but existing Cube owners will use the Cube controllers on the Rev. The shell will probably be the prefered way to do it because it's totally wireless. I think the Cube controller ports are to ensure 100% compatibility with the Cube (ie: if you want to play four player Donkey Konga) but will not be the required way to play Cube games. It just doesn't make sense to force people to buy two sets of controllers. The shell will likely be included with every remote and the shell will be the most common way of playing Cube games.

I hope it doesn't look like the wavebird. As cool as the mock-up is, I'd rather have it similar to the N64 controller. However, I don't see it emulating the dual analog system well.

I think Ian's right on this one. I never even look at the controller for any of the Nintendo consoles Ive owned, but with the Ps2, I seem to always be looking down at the buttons to make sure I'm pressing the right one
