I think it will be something to the effect of...
"We have a great new console with a ton of great new games that will push the medium further than it has ever been pushed before!"
Then they will show either Mario, Metroid, Zelda or Mario Kart footage and the Nintendo fans will go gaga and everyone else will wonder what the big deal is. (In the Nintendo fan's defense, it will be the same series of games done in relatively similar ways to the past. In the non-fans defense, it will be the same properties and they will look similiar to the older versions of the games).
Then, they'll announce a special day that they will unveil the controller that will make all the difference.
I don't see them revealing their hand yet, but I think they feel that they need to show something. If the above scenario doesn't happen, they'll pimp Zelda: TP the entire time and just allude to the fact the Revolution is coming.

it will probably be a letdown, which is what i think personally.. I mean, at this point, a rev controller that has a button to find the cure for cancer will even be a letdown, hyped to hell..
hopefully they will just show it though
Yeah i'm gonna agree with Dan on this one. Except that i really, really, really hope we hear something new about the controller. I hope Nintendo isn't doing a keynote just to do some bullshit hype.
I really, really, really think that they're going to show the controller. But I'm not so sure about any software. But then again, why would they show controller if they didn't at least show some kind of software that demonstrates the controller's unique features. I just know that I will be highly disappointed if nothing is really revealed. Less than a day now...
I'm certain they will show the controller. Anything else is a bonus. We'll probably see some footage, too, if only to show how the controller works. Whether it will be footage from new games, however, is debatable.
I'm guessing they're not concerned that either Microsoft or Sony will steal their ideas, now...
Considering Nintendo isn't a regular of TGS I'm guessing they have something very important (to their strategy) to reveal. Going "all in" right now seems kind of a waste when they've gone through all this trouble making all of us crazy and worked up over the mystery of the elusive controller. My bet is they answer a few questions just to leave us with ump-teen new ones.
As long as the theme of the thread is speculation and I'm too lazy to look up the Rev. Controller thread to post this, I thought I might as well drop my last minute guess in here.
I been looking at synthesizers recently. While watching a product demo and interview with Robert Moog debuting the new Moog Voyager I saw something that got my attention and drew my mind out of music and back into games. The new Moog has a Three-dimentional touch pad for adjusting parameters on the fly. It registers the X and Y axis much like the DS screen but, it also registers how much of the pad the user is in contact with for it's third set of input. Just speculation after all.

I think he's just going to walk up to the podium, say "299,000 yen!" and then leave.
I'm not expecting Nintendo to show the controller. I would be very shocked if they did.

Getting close to game time Pundits! Where all, some or none will be revealed!

So, is there a live feed for any of this? Where would be the best place to get the latest info?
I read over at IGN earlier this week that there won't be a live feed. A video will be posted shortly after, though.Originally Posted by studvicious
Is it tonight, or tomorrow night? I've read contradicting reports.
They already did post a pre TGS xbox conference and the Keynotes start in a few hours so sometime tonight IGN will have the Keynotes up. Here's hoping we see the Revolution controller.Originally Posted by THATinkjar
Yes I think they will show the controller hell they have to show something and get some momentum going.
Maybe the controller will look something like this:
Great, thanks for that. I best hit the hay and pray tomorrow comes quicklyOriginally Posted by njiska
My bets are they they show the controller and that they demo some sorta mario game, or a tech demo of some sorts. If it is something truly inovative they will probably need to demonstrate it rather than explaine it.
Also shouldent we see a video around 8:00 eastern?
