The top man at Lionhead Studios has seen the controller, and can only say one thing about it...
Peter Molyneux and Lionhead studios have been busy putting together games coming to Nintendo systems. The Movies is scheduled for a GameCube release in November, and the DS version of the studio's most famous PC creation, the God game Black & White, will be out early next year.
Molyneux was present at the German Games Confrence, which is finishing up this weekend. He was asked of the Revolution during an interview, specifically of the mysterious controller. Here's what he had to say:
There is a line at the end of the book 'Game Over' and it is, 'Never underestimate Nintendo.' That is all I can say about the controller.
These are very encouraging words for those still worried about Nintendo's silence on Revolution. This quote at least confirms that some third parties have seen the hardware, and it seems they are positive about it.
Nintendo is next appear at the Tokyo Game Show in September, where new Revolution information of some form is expected to be announced.
