Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America’s Vice President recently said in an interview with EGM that just because “you and your fans haven’t seen the controller doesn’t mean that no one else has. The thing that I always find surprising, and certainly in the last year I’ve had wonderful opportunities to spend quality time with a number of our key third-party publishers, is when you sit down and share the innovation with them, just how excited they get,” he said.
To add further fuel to the fire of a rumor that the controller is reconfigurable somehow is his explanation of Satoru Iwata’s hints at E3:

“If you just think about it, we’re going to have the ability through wireless Internet to download all your great games from NES, SNES, N64. Think about it - each of those controllers are different. How are you gonna play? That captured some of the imagination of what our controller needs to be able to do, and certainly as you get into the meat of that type of innovation with the developers, their eyes truly light up because they start to imagine what’s possible with that kind of configuration, which is vastly different than a sheer horsepower kind of game,” he said.

He also confirmed that the Revolution will have a significantly lower price point than either the Playstation 3 or Xbox 360 saying that “from a pricing standpoint, we will be substantially lower than the competition.”

So, we know one thing for certain: Nintendo is going to attack their competition through pricing and unique features, and we have some more credible evidence that the Revolution’s controller will be reconfigurable somehow, as Reggie posed the ultimate question: how will you play the games of three systems with vastly different controllers?

A touch screen, perhaps?
