I must say that I'm very excited by this, the possibilities are incredible. Hats off to Nintendo for completely revolutionising how we are going to interact with consoles. Ahem.
Think about it, you'll be able to simply select stuff by using a lightgun-ish remote control. I can see already how that can be applied to an FPS, and it might actually make Metroid playable (I hate the strafing). It actually made me say, for the first time "Hmmm, might be worth looking in to".
No crappy fob-off like the PS3 controller, which looks very uncomfortable, or the Xbox2 one which is the current one but white. Also, put the Revolution controller on it's side and you have an NES pad! Awesome!
Nintendo, I tip my cap in your direction (whichever way Japan is. Right, I think).

It'll be good with a combined analogue stick. Move the controller to turn and the analogue stick to move forward/backward/strafe.
Ohhhh I'm glad.

Quite a change in direction, after so long without lightgun games.
Should be good for FPSage too - with the stick right under the thumb, like the good old (N64) days.
Which has also been a little light on the cube.

Hopefully there will be a button to bring up some sort of cursor, then it'll be perfect for pointing around the screen.
I'm crap at Time Crisis though, I have the worst aim ever. Does this mean that simple things like selecting options from menus will become a a long, drawn-out affair? It's all so stressful.
Personally, I think it's a very interesting prospect. The video going around certainly opened my mind, there's some very exciting possibilities but also just as many pitfalls. I'd have to see it in action and see how accurate it is before making a 'OMG I'm getting it LOL' type decision.

<3 screenpointything.
More buttons please.
