Nintendo presented the last unknown piece of its next-generation Revolution console – and it is a quite revolutionary one. President Satoru Iwata introduced during this week's Tokyo Game Show a new one-handed controller equipped with motion detection sensors that can act as a virtual sword or baseball bat. It looks like a small TV remote and includes a traditional directional pad and several other buttons. An expansion port allows users to plug traditional two-handed controllers or joysticks. The Revolution is expected to launch in 2006.
