Anyway about the controller I think it will be like how the PSP and PS3 worked. How the PSP let you play some PS3 games where ever you were over wifi. Apply that to an HD nintendo system, add wifi, you got your new mario, new zelda, new -Other series here- where ever you go. A plus if it has GC support for that kind of thing >> Wind waker everywhere > to big.

AWESOME gif animation!

See now that I can see, continuing a game on a train say and using cloud saves to carry on progress at home. NGP looks to be going down that same route.

Why does it sound like they might be killing the 3DS with this controller? I mean if it's compatible with the Wii2 and it's portable, what use is the 3DS?

Need to know the specs on the controller.

 

[KingVamp]

Tbh they should just used the 3DS as a controller, by what it sounds like...

Who knows. They might actually and I really expect it to >__>

including rechargeable battery inside

ABOUT DAMN TIME! God I hate how the wii-mote uses non-rechargeable batteries. It got really expensive over time and even using rechargeable batteries became annoying since my wii-motes all ate through them faster than the non-rechargeable batteries.

I bought a wii battery pack.
I just put the wiimote in the charging slot when im not using it.
anyway i'm so glad about the rechargable battery thing.

I'm gonna say the system is a thick tablet, with an out-put for your tv. The main controls being in the classic controller fashion, only wireless and is compatible with the wii mote for wii games.

Controller won't be stand-alone. It'll still need the central console unit to be near, as everything will be probably streamed over BlueTooth 2.1/3.0 or something.

why the hell would it have street pass it's a console not a 3ds

Why the h3ll would it have a touchscreen it's a console not a 3ds

Easy access to menus, writing things down, noting things on maps, for games where you enter codes to get through a door, so Jet Set Radio 3 can be easier to do graffiti (I can dream of that game right?), better character customisation, great for level editing etc.

Imagination is a wonderful thing.

 

[ItsMetaKnight]

Sounds like 3DS can be used as a controller.

 

[Smartpal]

Neat idea.

Cause you know, it's not like 3rd parties didn't make power packs like the Nyko ones, which I found last twice as long as a Duracell pair of batteries. If you have 4 controllers as well, the 4 power pack kit was well worth the money considering the cost of an 8 pack of batteries to power that many controllers.

 

[DSGamer64]

Yeah this is shaping up to have 3DS price tag controllers.

Can I borrow your crystal ball so I can find out what kind of girl I am going to marry because it seems you can predict the future.

You don't need to be a genius to see that it will be a very expensive controller. A controller that doubles as handheld with a 6 inch touchscreen and tons of other shit. You think $30 to $50 for controllers for systems now can be kinda spendy when you have bad luck, imagine how expensive a mistake with one of these will be.

At least Nintendo did one thing right with the Wii, there weren't a piss ton of poor clones by other companies. Why would they want these crappy little 3rd party companies making shoddy clones of their controllers after how bad all the N64 and GC ones were? Those things didn't last nearly as long and at least proprietary hardware is going to make it so that we get assured quality from our controllers, not junk. I have hated 3rd party controllers and can always find reasons to justify spending more money on 1st party ones because they are just generally better. If you don't want to spend a bit more money, and anyone who thinks a controller with a 6 inch screen is going to cost 250 dollars is fucking dumb, don't bother gaming because it's just going to get more expensive in the next few years as the cost of game development rises for new consoles.

A 6" touchscreen costs less than 9$ on industrial quantities:

LOL, nice one

Agaiin.. tuesday

?
I just wish its an optional thing.

 

[rip-it-up]

Maybe they will make 2 controllers one with a screen one without.
The one with the screen comes with the console! and its upto you if you buy the screen version or the standard version when buying extra controllers for your mates etc.

They could even be hoping that if it takes off, and everyone has them on them 24/7 then most people will only really need one controller because you will always have it on you, if you go round your m8s etc.

You know, that's really cool!

People who want to play their wii2 games can play it anytime now.

Smart move, Nintendo. Now you just need some amazing third party support and a good price and you're going to earn lots.

I doubt you be able to leave the house with it tho. I wonder if they trying to find a better idea then (which is a good idea from what I see) transfarring.

Why did they name it that?

We'll know everything at E3. Hehe

Hopefully I'll be there to try it out. If I am there, I will give a hands-on impression.

And I bitched that the Wii's controllers were expensive. ($60 a wiimote+nunchuck combo plus extra for classic controllers)

This is going to be absurd. Like in the $80-$100 price range... (my guess)
