It's fucking bullshit that the speaker was so underused.
That's true as well. For some reason though it just felt right as well, having the voices come out of the controller felt really intuitive (but yes, very annoying, especially the clawshot, that was just unbearable). I REALLY hope they would go further with this idea and actually put a decent speaker.JordanLMiller said:

Yeah I turned it off in Twilight Princess. Nintendo made some super annoying uses of the speaker in the game.
Play Shattered Memories people. Great game and made wonderful use of the speaker.

Why is there a screen in the controller?
Well Zelda SS got pushed back to new console. The Zelda SS HUD was a dogs nightmare but Miyamoto wants it displayed all the time, so they made a controller with a screen just for that HUD.
To keep the main screen clear for HD Zelda glory.
In other words... Wjo cares we'll all just roll with it anyway. Freaking Mario Galaxy and the likes in HD...lol

I hope Skyward Sword gets trashed and they make a Zelda game influenced by Zelda & AOL. I'm sick of these fruity-tootie "Zelda" crap with trains, boats, and lollipops. Bring back the action and Adventure to this genre please. Whoever said NewLOZ.... Yes!
There isn't going to be a 6" screen on a controller. This is just a piece of info that got jumbled up passing from person to person. That doesn't even make sense. Do you think they are going to scrap the current free two-handed design to implement some screen on a Wavebird when people have TVs? Lets say that the Screen in 3D... we are going to buy a home console for a 6"3D screen built into an ipad sized controller and better graphics for 2X as much as a 3DS?
The only way screens are going to be included is if they are part of a VR device.

Maybe it actually has 6 different 1 inch screens.
Some kind of haptic screen feedback could justify the large size, but I'm wary of speculating that as I seem to remember a lot of haptic controller nonsense in the Revolution speculation.

Great idea. I can't wait for that new Zelda game in 2017.

While I am looking forward to seeing the what the next Metroid/Zelda will look like on a "current gen+" console, I don't think Nintendo will have much of a chance of getting the core gamers back if their controller is so "special" that Call of Duty can't be easily played on it. Friend Codes will make sure that the online will be severely gimped as well.

It's one of the only rumors to have been reported by multiple sources. I'm not saying it's true (yet), but it's looking more and more likely.

Between Skyward Sword Wii and Super Mario 3DS, I think it'll be awhile before we see either series on Super Wii. Nintendo will probably deliver NSMB and Metroid on the system first (if both aren't going to 3DS first too).makingmusic476 said:

Agreed. Especially seeing as elsewhere, this has been the generation of 'ANYA' slow-walk-with-hand-to-ear dialogue sections. Those bits in NMH made me wish more games used it like that.

Not actually that important
Beside that I want some innovation on the console (otherwise all big three would be too similar and I'm a multiconsole owner and I'll be next round as well), I want AT LEAST comparable graphics to PS3 in 1080p, stat. I still play my Wii but a new console in 720p would be a slap in the face, I prefer paying $50 more for it.
I know, it's nice to want things, but am I going to be disappointed?

I love that damn thing. I hope it stays, and for the love of God, bring back the digital analog clicks from the GC/Wavebird.wrowa said:

As I said several times before, I just can't reconcile the source saying Nintendo are "getting it right" this time with some of the info being discussed here. And how on Earth do you get from the feature-packed tablet controller to "no gimmicks"?
Is one source privy only to base technical specs and sees Nintendo using significantly more powerful hardware (standard architectures etc.?) and concludes they're "doing it right" with "no gimmicks", being unaware of the odd controller? And surely "getting it right" wouldn't be building a system only just above the level of a 360?
EDIT:
re: Wiimote speaker. Best used where the audio source was meant to be distorted - i.e. crackly telephone calls etc. - but very limited where a sound was meant to be clear. Would love to see it return (and be better used by more talented third parties) in any future controller, provided it was better quality.

Even with the "touch screen gimmick" a controller with all the normal buttons and dual analogs would be great for developers.
And a system that is more powerful than the 360 and can easily handle ports of all the engines currently being used is certainly "getting it right" in their eyes.

The speaker was done well for only a few games. I think my favorite was the Donkey Kong Returns banana noise.

maybe it will go to Wii and Wii 2Chris1964 said:
They will most definitely have to go another route with the online system if they want to get a piece of the COD-like community. Friend codes are not going to cut it. The developer shouldn't have to make their own online friend system for their game to function for multiplayer.Neon_Icarus said:
I really hope they take online gaming seriously this time. It's a huge part of the "hardcore" these days. Like it or not.

yep. i think he might be wrongSeraphis Cain said:
It seems Nintendo is doing some weird stuff with the controller, but I echo the sentiments others have expressed. Whatever this thing is, it needs competent, no friend code, or friend invite system, for online. The controls also have to be standard enough for AAA 3rd party games. And lastly the system has to be powerful enough for AAA 3rd party games. If it doesn't have this no innovation is going to win back the hardcore.

...but we're talking about sources who - I would think - are aware of future developments in engine tech and know that a hypothetical 360-level Wii2 will be outclassed relatively quickly. Would they really think that that's "doing it right"?

This is really not going to happen unless they plan to release the Wii 2 in 2011 (which is pretty crazy). Nintendo has to get Zelda out this year.Luthos said:

Because, as has been stated a thousand times, a 360+ will still likely be able to run everything the 720/PS4 could, just scaled down.

Because I think enough of us have had experience with virtual controls on a touchpad to know how very limited they are, and how poor a tactile experience they are.
AceBandage said:
Yes, I've seen that point made.
I think we'll have to agree to disagree here - I simply can't see a dev coming off the back of the Wii, being told the Wii2 is basically a slightly beefier 360, then running off to the press to tell them how Nintendo are finally getting it. As you can see just from this thread, the reaction to "Wii2=360+" is more like "oh, for fucks sake...", and while a developer is likely to have a better handle on the subtleties I can't see them being so positive about 360-level hardware at this stage.
As always I find it funny reading definite answers from posters who have nothing to go on right now. We don't have complete specs, any clue about the controller and how it works or what it introduces, and haven't seen a single game. Yet some posters have already written it off.
Not saying its not justified to be disappointed if the specs do turn out to be less than stellar and the controller is terrible. But we have nothing right now. How can anyone decided based on some leaked info?
