For everyone worried that the controller is too different:
There's going to be a "shell" that you can put it into (sort of like putting a VMU into a Dreamcast controller), and that's how you'll play SNES and N64 games. Also companies porting 360/PS3 games to the Revolution can use it instead of the "remote" by itself.
This shell will act as a more traditional controller
while retaining its remote-like functionality.
