Not dropping any more bombs until May, Iwata told MTV, "There are some other unique features of the Nintendo Revolution hardware that we haven't discussed yet that we will be announcing at E3." Miyamoto mentioned something similar last year at university in Kyoto. More secrets for the innovative, yet underpowered Revolution console that promises players a different type of gaming experience. Following the DS's lead, Nintendo continues to venture into uncharted waters.

The former designer-turned-executive Iwata said that the DS Brain Training brought him back to gaming. "I played it every day for three to five months since the game launched, and by the end of the day, I got my brain age to about 27," Iwata said. (Brain ages close to 20 years-old are most desirable.) The Kirby creator even confessed that he's "gained a little bit of interest in getting more involved in game development again." He quickly downplayed this interest reports MTV, saying he was too busy preparing speeches and whatnot. Bummer.

As with most businesses, it's readily apparent when those at the top have experience working in the industry. Rarer is when those people can lead and inspire others to create. With Iwata now at the helm, Nintendo seems headed in the right direction. Everything now depends on timing. Are the non-gamers ready to get their game on? In Japan, yes. But, America is another bag altogether. The upcoming Brain Age release should provide a good barometer for the Revolution reception in the US.
