And as expected, no new details.

May the internet be quiet of Megaton guff once more.

If it's so revolutionary, maybe it'll be easy to steal just no one's thought of it yet. Or something.

Ahahaha, suck it up, you big pansies.
If the controller is so amazingly revolutionary, then it'll be impossible for the other companies to 'steal it' or whatever without saying the controllers they put out weren't actually real ones, and putting everything back on to the design board.

Not quite as easy as sticking a couple of vibrating motors inside the casing.

The quote just highlights the ridiculous attitude of Nintendo. And it makes me weep.

I think you're a little over obsessive of that quote. You gotta remember he doesn't have control over what Nintendo does, he's a game maker not a business man.

Anyway.

Copy and paste that into your File > Open URL box in media player, skip a couple of minutes then let the big man massage back your reassurance in Nintendo with his comfortingly deep voiced words.

Look at what he's saying! Shigsy, the man himself, saying he wants to "MAKE SURE" that there aren't too many games "of the same type or genre". There is no such thing as "Too many games". You can't have "Too many games". If you have 100 FPS which all play the same but have different storylines, western, sci fi, medieval - how is that a bad thing? How is that worse than having only one FPS?

Yeah he's saying that he wants lots of differnt genres of games, but how can he possibly want to discourage lots of games? Obviously its better if developers choose to make new games instead of clones, but if they want to make clones then don't stop them! Don't "make sure" they don't do it! It's not going to cause any harm. It's the exact sort of arrogance Nintendo always display - thinking "It's our console we want only games we approve of", like they did with the N64 - and look how it killed 3rd party support on that.

Watch the video man, it'll make you feel better.

Big ol' Reggie talking about timetables being in motion for Revolution information being released - it's reassuring to know Nintendo have actually got stuff ready to show and know when they are going to show it - rather than just staying worryingly silent and looking like cockfases which is the impression the conference gave out to some.
