My Three Thoughts on This:
1. I have trouble reconciling the fact that the controller may feature some new out of this world control scheme, without traditional D-Pad and A/B Buttons with the concept of downloading classic Nintendo games. When I get Rev, that is one feature I will be partaking of on a constant basis, and I will want to use a control that is familiar to me when I do.
2. I'm very happy that Nintendo decided to use SD cards as storage media, because now all of the major players have decided to go with common flash media. This is good in many ways. One, we can spend less money overall because our memory card media is useful for applications besides gaming. Two, this can open the door for all sorts of special gameplay features, since you can store any kind of file on them with a billion different devices. Three, this practice will likely prove to be a new breed of killer app for memory card devices, especially SD, since they are already so widespread, and will help further drive down prices for the cards, even for people who will never use them for gaming.
3. I smell.
