There's also another spin on the whole thing, Nintendo and Miyamoto have been saying since E3 that 'We have not revealed everything about Rev's controller'.
We know that the controller shown was a prototype, but also that some statements lead us to believe it is pretty much a finalized design. I could jump on this and say GYROSCOPES! but I wont (though i'm thinking it :D) I think these hints are being dropped for a reveal of the Rev's attachments and configurations. You could even go so far as to say that we might even get something of a wearable controller, since the pick-up is already placed on the TV to detect the rev controller's movement - a wearable controller would be really immersive.
In the promo video where the Japanese people are jumping around their living rooms... well why are thy jumping? Why is the guy who's using the 'shotgun' configuration hiding behind his couch and popping up to take some shots? Does the revolution recognize that he's behind an object? Is the Rev 'taking a picture' of his living room so that the game has objects in it that are representative of the living room?
Or is he ducking behind a couch because it looks cool? :D
Regardless of what the additional features are that Nintendo is holding on to, I have a feeling that they're major aspects.
If it's gyros, i'll pee. Then i'll drink it. Then i'll throw up, collect it in a jar, feed it to my dog and drink HIS pee that is a mixture of mine and his and then i'll buy a rap album.... and LISTEN TO IT WILLINGLY... maybe even SING ALONG.
