Nintendo has kept Project Revolution shrouded by a veil of secrecy. Although the unveiling of its free-hand style controller has given us a very good idea of what's to come, Nintendo's unique direction is continually met with skepticism, especially in regard to third-party support. Will third-party developers support an unproven method of control and a console manufacturer thats stumbled the last two times out of the gate? Well, yeah... kind of. If the discourse within the industry is any indication, the Wii is on many minds. This is an in-depth look at what third-party developers have had to say about Wii over the past two years -- from the first murmurings of its codename, to the unveiling of the controller, up to today, where we just experienced an explosion of info at the May Electronic Entertainment Expo.
