Miyamoto Hints At Second Revolution Secret

Gamespot reports that despite new information on the Revolution, there is still much we don't know about the console. Shigeru Miyamoto hinted at the DIEC that there was yet more to reveal about the Revolution controller. From the article: "At the Digital Interactive Entertainment Conference held in Kyoto, Japan, Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendo's chief game designer and creator of the Mario and Legend of Zelda franchises, gave the keynote speech. He talked about the history of controllers for Nintendo's various consoles, from the pre-NES systems to current consoles like the GameCube. He ended his lecture with words toward the future, specifically the Revolution, stating that there's more to its controller than what's already known. 'The [Revolution's] controller still has another secret,' stated Miyamoto. 'But it's something that we'll reveal next year.'"

Game Glove?

[Jtheletter]

I know it's probably not what he's referring to, but I'd love to see a rebirth of the original NES game glove. That was well ahead of its time, and given the advances in computer and gaming technology we should be able to implement it even better these days. Could add things like flex resistors to sense each finger as it bends, could add all sorts of force feedback. Anyone ever heard of electro- and magneostatic fluids? Essentially they are liquids that turn solid in the presence of electric or magnetic fields. I've always wanted someone to develop a glove filled with veins of the stuff so you can simulate pressure or resistance. There's a whole class of haptic interface that hasn't been touched in over a decade, when will next-gen controllers move into the realm of devices that work with people rather than forcing us to learn an arbitrary control scheme?
