How will Revolution be unique?
That is the big question. The console is codenamed Revolution for a reason: Nintendo expects it to be revolutionary. The system will, according to Nintendo, fundamentally change how games are played — literally. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has said in recent interviews that the dual-screened Nintendo DS offers a hint of what to expect from Revolution. DS players can use a stylus pen to input control data into the portable device. It’s very possible that Revolution may feature similar functionality. Nintendo believes that technology alone cannot advance videogames, which is why it plans to take Revolution into a dramatic new direction.
