He's probably talking about those fakes that have been posted a million times.

Single-touch? Don't see any reason you couldn't do it for $80.

Wacky Cafe Controller + Cafe-Branded Wiimote Plus is two. What else would you need?

YEs and no. No one posted that new pic but it's not different from the ones that have been posted.

I hope Gamecube games will be able to play on this thing.

They better bring something really impressive to E3 because that sounds like a terrible idea.
If it is a secondary thing to the Wii remote, then I can stomach that.

Hrm, dunno. They could potentially add GC games to the Virtual Console.

No, let's not.
I am just fine thinking about the system being PS3/Xbox360 type power, HD Zelda and Mario along with a hopefully a Dolphin like SM would be good.
Them dropping the pointer for Dual Analog though would make me reconsider getting it. Prime 3 is my favorite shooter specifically because how easy it was to just move threw the world, if I need to something up to the right, a quick flick it was shot down, my camara never having to chage or me slowing down at all.

Full motion, maybe not. Gesture? I really disagree. Any musician know that the larger the move, the more precise it becomes. You don't press the touchs on a piano, you hammer them from some height. And when you want to set the time, you move the arm or the foot, not the toe.MadOdorMachine said:
You won't manage high frequencies with gestures, of course, like button mashing. But I really don't thing that a quck shake is slower or less precise than a button press. And some controls works actually quite well with gestures.
Gestures won't replace buttons. But they may complement them, and reduce the number of buttons you need.

You can prefer it all you want, the fact is that it is less quick than DA. Same thing as KBM vs Wiimote or DA.bidaum said:

I think it would make if they're making it backwards compatible with Wii games. Or am I asking too much?Andrex said:

Right, agreed. My sentence was just awkwardly cryptic.StevieP said:

Well, at least with the 3DS, it truly will be portable. The Wii2 will probably only transmit data within a couple feet or so.Ushojax said:

I dont know if this was mentioned before because im not going to read every post on this thread but i remember miyamoto once said that he was to destroy the belief that console games needed to be hooked up to televisions. This would make the rumors more likely seeing as there should be a possibility for some of these games to be streamed to the controller without ever having to have the console hooked up to the television. people could say why would u not want to play on a bigger tv but how about when we want to bring our system to a family or friends house who might not have a available tv. what about if a family only owns one tv and it is already being used by another family member. there really is a lot you could do with the screen

Not from a chipset POV. The question becomes whether they want to clutter the box up with all those controller ports/mem cart slots again. Wii already uses SD/wireless so it's not taking any physical space by including it.
Sorry if old. Noticed this new patent from Nintendo, filed August last year.
It seems to use Pikmin a lot as an example.
It ostensibly describes a system embodiment that is DS style (the embodied apparatus is explicitly shown as a DS), but is subsequently entirely preoccupied with mappings from a touchscreen. I thought the Pikmin-esque examples were interesting given rumours of a Pikmin for Wii HD, and that the stuff described could be as relevant to a second touch screen on a controller as on a DS.
Anyways, maybe reading too much into it, but take it for what you will.

I think Sony will probably re-pursue the RemotePlay functionality for PSP2 as a result if this is true.Olinkstar689 said:

It won't need the controller ports since if the new console has all of the buttons the old Cube controller had. They only obstacle would be the memory cards, which I'm not sure how they would allow you to port your old saves over if there aren't Cube memory card slots.

Just made me think of that comment by Capcoms Ono the other week about how SFIV 3DS
can connect to a home console system. Was this the first mention of Cafe?

The psp2 wouldn't be as viable because each controller would be to expensive

Dude, you need to stop. How the fuck would people confuse a blinking light with a screen on a controller? Every major site is reporting a screen on the controller from their developer sources. It's happening.majortom1981 said:here is a part of one of the patent images. its an upgraded sensor bar with led lights on the top part that display colors. sort of like that tv . This patent is where i think people mistake it for screens on the controllers.
I can post more images if people want (this can all be found at the uspto website.)

The total screen size of both 3DS screens is 6.55 inch.

I'm not sure you can do that without specifying an aspect ratio (seeing as they're different widths), but something that fits inside the silhoette of any opened DS seems possible to me, as long as it's a portrait screen.
DSi XL would be 6.06 inches if you moved the two screens together.

How about controls are actually the wii remote plus and 3ds, maybe this 5th May shop update is connected.
Leaves Nintendo with a lot of money to spend on the significantly more powerful then PS3 and x360 cafe hardware?

What are the odds of them not saying anything at E3? :lol Maybe a just, "yeah we having one coming, but we aren't talking about it yet".
Possible. On the other hand, Sam Kennedy and IGN's Fran said it's expected to launch in the first half of 2012, at least in Japan. If that's the case, even an announcement at this year's E3 seems a bit late. I personally almost expect an announcement within the next five days.RPGCrazied said:

I think they have to say something. What do they have other than the 3DS? Sure, Zelda SS, but other than that they don't have any fucking Wii games coming out. Are they going to just quit on the Wii without mentioning something for the public to look forward to? That doesn't seem like a good idea to me (I don't know shit, tbh), so I just don't see how they won't show it at E3. Unless they unveil a shit load of new Wii games at E3 for the rest of the year.

The pessimist in me says it's a definite possibility. I remember being hyped for the Revolution unveil, which turned out to be "here's a black box, kinda small, plays old games" and that's it.
Now, there was still another E3 before the launch, so it has everything to do with the release date.
I would also assume that they *could* be more likely to show something sooner if the rumors are on target or at least close, but who knows.

Given the amout of gossip, it doesn't seem likely. Would be funny though.
Captain Chaos said:
I did wonder if the shop update was involved in some weird way. They should make more money selling extra controllers than they'd save by not developing a new one, but 3DS might have some connection, perhaps.
