I wouldn't read much into that - it's likely there to perform the same function as the IR cart that slotted into the DS for stuff like the pedometer.
It shouldn't be surprising to see Nintendo trying to invest in the HD consoles. The casual market has shrunk quite a bit compared to what it was, and they could still make it back up when they cut the price on a 3DS.
The thing is, they can't get that same mainstream appeal with a HD motion control deal. Because the reason the Wii did so well with the non-'gamer' market was because it was something they'd never played with before. Playing with the remote wouldn't bring anything new to that crowd, and the 'core' group is more likely to want a controller. If they want, I'm sure they'll introduce a Wiimote like peripheral.

You say that now, but once you see a next gen Mario, Metroid, Zelda and etc you will say WOW. Remember we haven't had a leap in tech for Nintendo games since the GameCube games, Wii Nintendo games were just more GameCube games with motion controls, but we haven't actually seen these franchises running on cutting edge tech.

A screen on the controller? Will I be able to take it out of the controller and play a mini-game?
In all seriousness, while I could see some use out of having a second screen available (Stats, commands, and a map) on the controller, that rumor sounds more like some late April Fools' joke due to the added controller cost and the questions of size and battery life.

Sony patent application reveals universal, LCD-based game controller
so this will be another case of Sony planning & Nintendo making the 1st move while Sony still doing test

I would laugh my ass off if Super Wii somehow was released this Holiday season just so all realists on the forum could freak out because it's "unhealthy" and "Economic suicide" to release in the same year as the 3DS. Honestly, when I see the Wii and DS sell a million each during the Holiday season, I could easily see a console and handheld holding it's own this Christmas.
That said, I do believe Q1-Q2 sounds best. Give the Third Parties sometime to create some titles and let Skyward Sword, Kirby, Wii Play:Motion, (and whatever else you got coming) keep the Wii floating because we all know it will still sell gangbusters this Holiday Season at $150 with an extra title bundled.

Nintendo's E3 is June 7th, right?
I need to request that day off.

the controller uses street pass and coin system, there's your reason for the screen.

What if EvilLore removed animated avatar for this very reason? Maybe he knew about the leak and wanted to start his new policies a few days before GAF would be flooded by this news!

Ono said that you should be able to connect SSFIV 3D to another console but they won't let him comment on that topic and we had to wait untio E3 to see it. I guess thIs is it.
Lack of first party Wii games this year and 3ds ports/remakes makes me think that maybe they've been working on something else and you should be able to connect to HD versions of those games (question is what for)

Is this thread taking down GAF or is it just server problems?
Also I would love a new Nintendo console, traded my Wii in a while back so it would be great to play Wii games in the new system as well as some new generation titles. Also as a lover of the Dreamcast any controller that has a screen is a friend of mine.

I CALLED IT (except for the late 2012--I thought it would be Spring/Summer).
I was extremely close with my guess about the controller, too--I thought it would be a touchscreen.
And people laughed at me for the suggestion
Edit: Now rumors are stating Q1 2012. I may have been dead on with this one.

I'm thinking the mods here have some inside info on this, there's no way they wouldn't be treating this as a rumor otherwise.

Nintendo making the first move was not something I expected
I just hope it's not some ridiculous price I can't afford. Anything more than 300 and I have to sit the generation out.

Sounds awesome. Hopefully it forces Sony to continue with their ps4 plans as well.

Is the op updated, or is there anything else going on that isn't there?
See, this is what confuses me about the way people treat the Wii remote. If you were to optimize the thing to decrease latency, put a much more acccurate IR pointer on it, and throw on a few extra face buttons, you would have a beast of a controller. When done properly, aiming with an IR pointer is easily as good as a mouse, and lightyears ahead of an analog stick.Shikamaru Ninja said:

I wonder though, why is Sony using a crosspad in there if Nintendo invented it and owns the rights for it?
