Wii Successor to Feature Touchscreen Controller

4.6
Nintendo's confirmed successor to the Wii console, referred to as "Project Cafe", will reportedly have a controller with a six-inch touchscreen at its center. The report comes from the news service Nikkei which states that it will function similarly to how tablet computers are able to play games now, and the touch screen will be in addition to a standard set of controller buttons.

According to the report, the controller itself can be used as a "portable game device." Nikkei reports: "Nintendo aims to attract more users by offering a console that doubles as a portable game system." The report also confirmed that the controller will have a camera that will allow players to create characters based on pictures they take. Sounds to us like Nintendo is taking the concept of their Mii's to a whole new level.

Nintendo has always been on the cutting edge of innovation when it comes to the entertainment industry, and apparently a touchscreen coupled with a controller that acts as a standalone gaming device are the company's next big moves. We'll find out more about all of Nintendo's exciting developments bright and early on Tuesday morning.

Touchscreen Controller? Wow. Never heard of it. I don't have a Wii, but I wonder what it will be like!

Awesome. I heard about this a while back. I really hope the controller ends up being as good as it sounds, although you'll be buggered if you break it! $$$$$$$$ LOL.

Although I admire the audacity that Nintendo has with trying innovative things, I think the regular controllers were better, and trying to complicate it any further with motion or touchscreen crap is just a waste of time when they should be focusing on improving the overall system functionality and quality. I mean, I used to have a Wii, but the fact that 99% of all their games are aimed at children and people who just picked up a controller for the fist time kinda made me sick. So, over all the years I have been a lot more satisfied with the things the 360 and play station have been developing.

Well, playing poker and card games will be a whole lot more fun with this.
Remote = Cards
Tv = Table

damn, the remote will probably be worth more than the wii2.

Maybe that would explain why all the 3DS games r remakes?? so they can work more on the "Wii 2" portable games??
Wow thanks Nintendo.
