 The latest rumour doing the rounds? The nunchuck style attachment to the Revolution controller is also motion-sensitive. But why? Well, imagine this set-up: The control stick moves you character, and the nunchuck itself controllers the camera. Then, with the Revmote you can perform sword slices or movements of your wand or whatever unhindered.

The problem, and why it's still a rumour? Right now, try and press left on an imaginary control stick while moving your hand right. Add swiping motions with the other hand (don't worry, just shut your door...no-one's looking) and you get a control system that completely contradicts Nintendo's philosophy with the Revolution: simple and intuitive. Firmly a rumour.

By the way, just so I have it on 'paper', my stab at the Revolution's super secret new hardware functionality is a microphone in the Revmote and possibly a camera attachment to the system. Can't wait for E3!
