Has EA accidentally given away Nintendo's last great secret about the Revolution console? Last week a games site named nintendorevolution.ca is alleged by several sources to have featured an interview with an EA spokesperson, Trudy Muller, in which she apparently blurted out:
"The beauty of the new Revolution controller is that the possibilities for new game ideas are limitless. I'm sure that Nintendo already has a number of phenomenal design concepts built around 3D Pointing or Touch Sensitivity for their 1st party games. Our developers are inspired and excited by the new controller's features."
The key phrase here is touch sensitivity, suggesting that the already near-unfeasible Revolution controller is going to be adding yet another trick to its impressive roster. The story was quickly picked up throughout the weekend by various forums and news aggregators, but currently remains unsubstantiated.
As for nintendorevolution.ca - the site appears to have 'gone down' producing only a 'cannot connect to server' error message. Meanwhile, other news sources have attributed the quote to ps3news.ca, which leads only to the same error notification. Have the sites buckled under the weight of too much unexpected traffic? Are they merely the product of an erstwhile hoaxer? Or have they been censored by some sinister higher power?
And more to the point, a touch-screen controller? What on earth are we going to do with that?
