This Aries guy is claiming that he's working on a new vector man game for the revolution. If you don't want to wade through the crap here's the important stuff. Keep in mind that it could all be bs.

- the controllers are pressure sensitive
- the controllers feature gyroscopes
- the controllers will not feature any form of touch control
- the controllers are going to be wireless
- the controllers contain regular action buttons and triggers, though a D-pad is not certain yet
- the Revolution features very advanced voice recognition technology
- the Revolution will be more powerful than the Xbox 360
- the Revolution will feature a very advanced online service. Probably the best and most interesting of the three
- the Revolution wont support any form of stereoscopic imaging. At least not out of the box
- Square-Enix is developing an exclusive game for Revolution, further details are currently unkown
- Retro is working on a non-Metroid based FPS for the console’s launch which will be very mature themed
- Hal Labs is developing a brand new Smash Bros game, which will be available around launch as well
- A new Mario game is in the works which will show off all the console’s features right from launch
- NST is busy developing a new Wave Race game. It seems that it features the most lifelike water ever seen both graphically and physically and comes really close to real life
- Some completely new franchises are still at the works at Nintendo which will be featured on DS as well. Most of them are more mature-themed than we are used to with Nintendo
- Capcom, Namco, EA, Activision, Midway, Konami, Majesco and most probably some other companies, are currently developing Revolution software and seem to be quite enthusiastic about the machine

Responses in order:

- Why?
- I don't get why everyone is so damn excited about gyros. Was annoying in Kirby Tilt n Tumble. Not a way I wanna play my games.
- *shrug* Suppose that's good.
- Hopefully will have rumble though. And will be rechargable rather than taking two AA's.
- Regular regular or Nintendo regular? It's gonna be weird probably. And D-pad...screw analog and gyros...I needs me a D-pad.
- F*ck voice recognition. If you met me in real life you'd think I was a mute. Not a fan of talking.
- Pretty easy to be more powerful than 360.
- Intrigued about the online service.
- Hmm...at least not out of the box...can we say add-on?
- Don't care for Square-Enix games but sure to help Nintendo sell some systems.
- Ah, screw that. Rather they make a 3rd person Metroid game...and I wonder if it will really be a FPS or some other pseudo-first-person mumbojumbo. And if they have to say it's mature then it's not worth considering.
- Please add Squirtle or some Kirby character. DeDeDe would so kick-ass...doubt they would have my beloved Squishy.
- As long as Mario isn't playing basketball with NBA players I'll be happy.
- Eh.
- Again I hate that they have to point out that a title is "teh mature" for it to sell. Though if that means FPS on DS should be very good. If one system should have a crapload of FPS games, DS is it.
- Good to hear...well the first two companies anyway. And where art thou Sega?

Hm I might not read any rumors anymore before E³. This is getting very confusing and a bit boring.
