Nintendo has been extremely tight-lipped about its next-gen console, but a few interesting rumors have surfaced. If they hold up, the Nintendo Revolution will live up to its name. First, there's the suggestion that traditional controllers will be replaced with touchscreen pads, allowing gamemakers to customize the inputs for every game. This has pluses and minuses: A touchscreen with no buttons doesn't lend itself to twitch games, though it can be really innovative in other genres.
