Billychu said:What if it was controlled with 2 Nunchuck style controllers that had a stick and d-pad on each side and 4 buttons for your fingers? You'd have dual analog control, but also have access to 8 buttons at the same time. It would have the exact same number of buttons we have now (4 face, 4 triggers), but all can be used at once.

A M+KB setup can often substitute for the whole of a gamepad setup effectively in a way that pointing or touch cannot, though even then there are titles that would preferentially be played using a gamepad even on PC, like Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light. I think the Wii would be more crippled by its absence if it had any meaningful quantity of multiplatform games and therefore had to cope with specific games that controlled well using two sticks elsewhere.

Surely they can't be joshing......

It would be quite handy for families where the TV is busy to be able to stream to a another screen. Yes, for disc games you have to switch at the machine etc. but still...
Everyone take out a dollar. 6 inches. That's how fucking big the screen is. Holy fuck me. How will this not be a heavy piece of clunk?That can't be 6 inches, seems a lot bigger.
Are you sure that ruler's the right size?
Amir0x said:eh, i'll have to wait and see on that but it may function at a basic level but certainly not when you start adding pointers and motion controls to the mix.
Don't believe these updates it seems.Green Scar said:I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE ANY MORE

AniHawk said:that was amazing. pulled a lot of people into that one. i'm ready to believe there's no such thing as a nintendo, and this was an elaborate plan set forth 121 years ago.
DECK'ARD said:So Nintendo does a 180 from encouraging families to play together and social gaming, which is a strength of consoles, to encouraging a console that is played in solitary like a handheld? But without the strengths of a self-contained handheld.
It would be utterly bizarre.

IGN said:New details have surfaced from yesterday's reports that Nintendo is set to unveil its newest console, codenamed "Project Cafe."
According to our sources, the new Nintendo controller will feature dual analog sticks in addition to standard d-pad and trigger buttons. It'll mirror a Gamecube controller in general function but not in specific form.
French website 01.net has published additional details (via Develop), that say the touch capable screen on the controller is 6 inches in size, but we were unable to confirm the accuracy of the report. Additional details about the console's hardware specs could also not be confirmed.
Players will actually be able to stream game content to the controller screen from the console. It's unclear at this time what type of content it will be, whether it's full games you can take with you on the go, mini-games or applications.
At E3 in June, our sources also said Nintendo will show first and third party titles at the event, but it's unsure if they'll be playable or only in video form.
Update: Sources now confirm to IGN the new Nintendo controller allows players to stream entire games to the device from the console, saying it's like a miniature television. The screen size on the controller is also confirmed to be six inches in size.
Chittagong said:so a CONTROLLER with two analog sticks, and a SIX inch screen (PSP is 4"). That's roughly to scale

WHAT IS GOING ON.
Vinci said:Besides all the weirdness associated with this, there's no way in hell 3rd parties would look at that controller and go, "YES - ABOUT TIME!"

Zeliard said:Unless ol' Jim is trolling people via the French site link, it actually seems to match up. From 01.net:
controller specs : 6-inch screen, single touch (so no multitouch, it seems), front camera, acts as a wii sensor bar, has a d-pad, two bumpers, two triggers, possibly more.
Zeliard said:If it's actually a 6 inch screen then practically the entire face of the controller is the screen. And it has dual analog. And I noticed not a single of these rumors mentioned face buttons (unless I missed something).
Hmph
Dual analog + touch screen "buttons"?
wuahaha
Cow Mengde said:Again, I don't understand how you guys could think any of this was real. It just sounds like a cluster-fuck. Nintendo would never leak info on the controller so soon.
Skiesofwonder said:Yeah I would agree but EVERYTHING he has tweeted is in the article now. If they are faking then IGN seriously is a joke now.
Article.
Oh damn I loled!AniHawk said:everyone with an ipad 2, start swinging it like a motion controller and report your results.
