"The example that we have with the DS is that in January 2004 when we first announced it we said it had two screens because that's pretty easy to understand. We didn't say anything about the touch-screen until you could touch it and experience it at E3 and I think we're going to go the same route with Revolution."

E3 should be quite interesting.

"We plan on taking advantage of a number of new features in the Revolution, including the controller."~Retro Studios
"It is basically complete, but we reserve the right to move buttons and round corners. However, we have not shared everything that there is to know about Revolution or its controller."

Also note the "mysterious comment" Iwata made at E3 that's in my sig...

They should've at least shown a demo reel so we know they're not running around their dev studios doing barrel rolls and smacking each other with the controller all day

Gah, spare me. Judging from the uses the headset with Live got, I don't want to have a camera in the system.

I mean NOA is out of the loop sometimes, so I can't imagine what NOE is like.

For our final question, because I know you are incredibly busy, is that with the four different colored lights on the controller signifying the player who is using the device, does this mean that the system will support a maximum of four players?
ImageWhat we are telling people right now is that four players can play on the Revolution, but what this means exactly we will unveil at a later time. We’ll have more information soon to come on this topic.
Hmmmm...

As far as using the camera for online play: Iwata did mention in his keynote the problem of vulgar abuse in online games. Though he obviously didn't specify how it would be dealt with. It's sort of a given that Nintendo would be particularly careful about it, but there's some reassurance for you.

"I was thinking that there could be up to 10 players with just those 4 lights.
Example say you have 5 people...the 5th player would have the 4 and 1 light lit up"
Brilliant.

<that wont happen>
as to perrin kaplan's comments; she's talking about WiFi; Iwata said they'll talk about the specifics in October. (that's my hypothesis... but im really surprised that they haven't revealed more about teh Wifi connection// its like 30 days until that goes live in Jpan, right?)

I think they didn't show any gameplay footage because they didn't want to ruin the commercial by showing graphic hungry whores what the REV is capable of. It would of detracted way too much attention.
I'm not saying that's the only reason, but it definitely had something to do with it.

I kind of doubt VR just because they show a normal TV in the room during the remote controller trailer Nintendo made, but I suppose a 3D TV attachment like some people were discussing before E3 could still be possible.
