I'm sure that the controller WILL BE the screen you'll play on. The main console probably streams via Bluetooth the screen for the player directly to the controller.

You'll still rely on the main unit for the Graphics and the CPU, so it won't be an handheld.

The camera on the controller will let you use Kinect-like functionalities, while you just use traditional controls + touchscreen for playing.

Maybe the screen will even be a 3D parallax-barrier screen like the one the 3DS has? That way Nintendo could take glasses-free 3D gaming in every house, without the need for a new TV.

Remember: raulpica called it first

Thats exactly what I was thinking but the 6-inch screen is killing me it will be a huge controller

If this is the case I will probably stop buying Nintendo products altogether.

EDIT: However, just a controller with a screen is a pretty nifty idea. It helps keep menus to the controller. Like for example, Fallout's Pip Boy would work well on a controller screen. Or even just keeping a map on it for Castlevania.

And if its a HD screen how much will cost a controller $100???

No need to be THAT much HD. After all it's just 6", it won't be that noticeable.

This is from NeoGaf:

The site [from the specs post below] also concurs that the controller is a touch tablet, with moderate , sub-HD graphic output with a single-touch 6-inch screen, a front camera which acts as a Wii sensor bar, two d-pads, two bumpers, and possibly more than two triggers.

So sub-HD would be enough. Will probably be $60-$80 per controller.

EDIT: F**k yeah, awesome:

New Nintendo controller allows players to stream entire games to the device from the console - like a miniature television. 16 hours ago

Dual analog sticks on the controller. Can stream game content from the console. Not sure if it'll be full games, mini-games, or apps. 18 hours ago

EDIT2: Lol, seems this info is from yesterday, funny no one noticed that yet. I myself found about it just a few minutes ago.

 

[MakiManPR]

So many rumors and so many confusion out there I think its time for Nintendo to talk about it,to calm the masses, then in the E3 the reveal it to the world like they did with the 3DS when every website had a different rumor about it

EDIT

@raulpica
I bet almost everyone knew that already just that are just rumors and you get my point

2 d-pads? Everything I hear about the new system seems so random.

It's not really that outlandish if you think of the second D-Pad as your standard set of A/B/X/Y buttons. Although I don't really see why they wouldn't just but, you know, A/B/X/Y buttons...

 

[Y05h1]

Seems like the 2 d-pads was a mistake.

But what I want to know is how are they incorporating everything into one controller? Including motion controls?

Unless we need to purchase a million different controllers. That would NOT be cool.

More like a innovation off it.

I doubt it. As long as the keep a button on the back, it can be use like the wii remote maybe even with nunchucks support.

 

[MakiManPR]

The Wii 2 will be powered by AMD Trinity...wow

This is like everything we have in the market in one controller.

Better idea even: create a control that is controlled through mind, that would end all the problems of size

 

[mysticwaterfall]

Will probably be $60-$80 per controller.

The Wii Remote Plus+nunchuck is already 50$, and yet this supposed controller with (to combine all the rumors) a 6" hd video screen you can stream video and games to, motion controls, dual analog, a camera, and a rechargeable battery is only going to be 60-80$? In your dreams. A controller that really had all of that would be at least 100$ easy, and most probably more.

I'm thinking it'll be $50.

Assuming this is true, the controller better work without the console like a handheld. That would be sweet.

Edit:

Also, I'm calling it now. The controller has a stylus slot.

Thank would make FPSs playable on consoles.

Do we really need FPS' on the Cafe? Can't they just stay on the Xbox 720 and the PS4?

Not everyone is going to have more than one console.

I was saying, using the touch screen to aim is a million times better than using a controller.

 

[potato3334]

sounds like a stretched out ps2 controller with touch screen in middle, camera could be used for webcam or taking pictures for use in game on the spot, like the warioware dsiware game

 

[mysticwaterfall]

I have no doubt there will be a "Wii 2" in 2012, but I certainly don't think it will be announced at E3. And I would like to remind people to take rumors with a grain of salt.

Rumors about the Wii that weren't true, reported by the gaming media:

-That it would have a touch screen controller
-That it would not have a d-pad or other traditional buttons
-That it would have a "projector" that projected the action in midair
-That it would have a "pressure sensitive" controller (similar to the back touch screen on the NGP, actually)
-That it would use HD-DVD
-That it would launch in March 2006
-That it would have a form of head tracking where you could view the action from different perspectives by moving around the room

I didn't make any of these up, and in fact you can still even find them online, for instance here at Gamepro from June 2005.
