Haven't recieved any confirmation about this from E3 Insiders, but I should have a clear answer for you by tomorrow morning. I can't say SNES games will be in the mix but we're not completley sure. More to come soon...

"now what kind of controller would be able to do all that"

The Revolution is going to use Playstation controllers!

According to that guy's Family tree the revolution controller is a GCN controller with PS3 layout.....sad..really

How does he say 'touch screen' there?

More interesting: Kid Icarus is very suitable for the Revolution controller. That sounds more like gyro's to me!

There were rumors awhile back that it would have a fairly large touchscreen on the controller, which could be used for a bunch of various operations from DS-like things to simply having an image of a controller layout that would react just as it would if you were pressing real buttons...

Therefore being able to have a simple A and B setup for NES, an A B Y X for SNES, etc...

However that's kind of pointless on account of, as I pointed out, a playstation controller would have no problem playing NES or SNES games, and they could probably find a way to get it to work for N64 stuff too...

Now obviously I'm not saying the Revolution controller will just be a Playstation controller (

), I'm just sayin unless having extra buttons that serve no purpose for some older games confuses you, nothing about that statement would indicate a touch screen...

The Gamecube controller played Ocarina of Time fairly well. I don't see why it couldn't also play NES and SNES games, which require fewer buttons.
