"An article in the latest issue of National Geographic Kids magazine revealed that members of the publication were recently invited by Nintendo to an exclusive preview of the Revolution's controller in Tokyo, Japan.

The article's authors stated that 'although [the Revolution controller] is very different from the controllers we're all used to, we were playing games with ease ten seconds after we picked it up. Swing a bat in a baseball game by slashing the controller in actual swing. Swerve left in a racing game just by twisting your wrist. Or paint on an electronic canvas using the controller like a paintbrush. It's a whole new way to game.'

In addition, National Geographic Kids revealed that 'the Revolution will be available later this year,' and that 'you'll be able to use it with games you already have as well as with new games.' Continuing, the article discussed The Legend of Zelda, Super Smash Bros., and Donkey Konga franchises, providing a short description of 'a few of the things you'll be able to do with this revolutionary new controller' for each game."
