" SPOnG can finally confirm the date by which the world will be relieved of
the constant burden of wondering about what Nintendo's Revolution controller
actually is.

You'll be pleased to know that a full explanation of Revolution will be made
by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata during his Tokyo Game Show keynote
address. This news represents completely finalised Nintendo plans - Iwata
will fully outline The Secret on 16th September 2005.

Nintendo is assembling key media to attend this year's show, due to take
place between 16th - 18th September 2005. Iwata will make his presentation
of current activities at Nintendo. He will outline current projects and will
then - unveil the Revolution in all its glory.

The Revolution presentation will include an explicit outline of the hardware
and its controller and input mechanic, as well as illustrate exactly how it
will work. It will go on to show games running on the system and how they
make use of the technology.

Mario 128, or 'New Mario' as it is dubbed internally at Nintendo, is
expected to be the star of the show.

SPOnG has a record of perfectly outlining what Iwata's keynote addresses
will entail. And we can tell you with 100% certainty that in the next three

There was a video of a Vr helmet type thinging... wish i could find a link
to the video...

but there was talk of the whole thing being a touch pad... dont know about
that. But i hope whatever they have is a big shocker, and garners alot of
support... because with being quiet, they've lagged behind a bit in the hype
department.
