The Nintendo Revolution is Nintendo's new console created to compete with the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3. It's scheduled for release in 2006.

The Revolution will be about the size of three DVD cases stacked on top of each other and will have a much more powerful CPU than the Gamecube. It's backwardly compatible with the Gamecube and will have the ability to download any game for the Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo, or Nintendo 64. It's unknown whether this service will be free or not.

The biggest mystery is the Revolution's controllers. No information about them have been released. A one of popular rumors says that the controller is a touch screen. Another is that the controller contains gyroscopes for gameplay like the gameplay seen in Kirby's Tilt 'N' Tumble or WarioWare Twisted. Nintendo has promised that the new controller won't be too weird and it won't scare of consumers or developers. A new rumor is that the controllers will be wire-less and Gamecube controllers will be able to connect to the Revolution to play Gamecube games.
