Once Nintendo's E3 comes along, you all will be throwing money at Nintendo - don't hate on me, you know you want your rehashes and Pokemon HD.

Yay I can play a console in my toilet, my dreams comes true. x)

I don't care about the fucking controller.

The gameplay needs to be solid AND the controls need to be smooth!

Stop whining and wait until the E3.

@Erdnaxela thats the spirit!

On the contrary. A good controller means good development. A screen+ processor+ capacitive controls + analog sticks, etc... to expensive. There will be inevitable compromise for the TC

Is the main reason people are complaining is the possible pricing of the controller?

The first post claims that it will have "tablet-like controls", I think that means buttons will take a back seat.

Maybe. That remains to be seen. Did the buttons take a back seat on the DS/3DS?

Well, yes, but still

And as for Sony, who knows what they have in store. Using the NGP as a controller and/or screen for the PS3 would be a continuation/realization of what they were announcing five years ago, so you can't say they're stealing the idea from Nintendo. And I think certain trends in gaming (and technology in general) are inevitable, that general market pressure simply leads to them and they start popping up all over the place once the technology is ready for them. So it's not a matter of "stealing", it's something you'd be absolutely crazy to leave out once it's become popular. Like a computer mouse.

And besides, gaming on tablets and tablet controls for gaming is nothing new. It's been around for a while now.

"NEXT GEN GAMING" on a little screen on the controller? HD? Resolution?
Are you fucking kidding me...

you can play on the controller or a tv

Thats one thing.
Another thing is, whats the point? Dont we have something called "handhelds"?
Home Consoles =/= portable.

What do you think that little screens resoulution will be?

@Bladexdsl
I get it, but whats the point? Trying to earn a bit more with the controller?

Yeah price lol

Remember Playstation 3? Remember Apple? Remember all others?

No no no no no no no no no.

Seriously, i dont want cameras, or touch screens or anything like that on my controller.

I want analog sticks, d-pad, and buttons. I'm sorry but in my opinion, gaming has become nothing but a fad and a big joke now. Everything has to have camera's. Everything has to have motion control. Everything has to have touch screen. It's stupid. It's getting to the point where, I don't want the console because of that stuff.

And if one of the controllers break, you know it's going to cost more than an Xbox 360 controller because of the crap they have inside of it.

I'm sorry but if this rumor is true, this is one time where I won't be supporting Nintendo.

Then don't buy it or anything that has any of those things?

 

[Feels Good Man]

Don't expect the buttons to be gone too. Iwata said buttons are still king and they won't be ditching it any time soon.

I just hope I can use my 3DS as a controller so I don't have to buy a new controller every time.

 

[DiscostewSM]

I might be wrong, but since the only thing we see of the controller having a touch-screen is for portable gaming when not using a TV, wouldn't that suggest that this special controller isn't the only kind of controller the Wii2 will have? For something that may not be used at all, I'd imagine they have a non-touch-screen controller just for playing console-style.

I mentioned earlier about streetpass. I'm sure they're trying to implement all the features of 3DS (minus 3D) into the controller. Maybe the 3DS IS the controller (or an optional one at that)

Remember the Dream Cast had a little portable game device built into the controller, maybe this is just expounding on that Idea.

 

[mudassirul]

what's the point of a camera on the controller? take close up pictures of your face? are you gonna have to make facial expressions to play some games? or is the camera facing the other direction and a crappy alternative to a digital camera/camcorder?

I hope they don't treat the controller as a stand alone game console. That would confuse the market.

What would really be smart is to design a home console that doubles as a portable. Not a controller that doubles as a portable.

Yeah, that is probably going to be the case. Like for the GC, you could use GBA as controller.

 

[adamshinoda]

This kind of controller reminds me of VMU for Dreamcast and the Pocket Station

I agree it's only a few days away, let's just wait.
