Now, you can’t put too much stock in rumours, but it is nice that Nintendo definitely seems keen to ensure Revolution lives up to its name. IGN has a big old rumour post hinting at 3D projection as well as touch screen, wireless and tilt technology in the joypads. Crazy. Crazy in a good way.

With Nintendo seemingly planning some damn original ideas for their next console, Microsoft set to be first out the gate with the powerful Xbox 360 and Sony bound to trump them both in the graphics department (the Cell-powered PS3 should be astonishingly powerful according to some developer friends of mine) it’s going to be one of the most interesting E3 shows in a long time.
