So, Nintendo Power is teasing Sonic Generations for next month.
Could this be the first Cafe game we see?

gerg said:Perhaps, but there are some differences between "Wii" and "Feel", namely that the former wasn't actually a word before Nintendo used it, and that only in the UK does "wee" really mean to urinate.
You would tell us if it was complete bullshit, right?Shiggy said:Interesting.

I know the journalist that has written this, as an opinion because of his sources are under NDA, and I trust him.
First time I've heard about that spanish website, so I'm calling bullshit on that information. Even if your friend works therecorpa said:Here goes an opinion article of a spanish media, that says the feature of the new controller is a trackpad, yes A TRACKPAD like NGP back:

VisanidethDM said:It makes sense on many levels, as having a touchscreen on the back of the pad is the only position that allows for usage of the trackpad while also sticking to the buttons.
A touchscreen in the front of the pad requires continuous adjustements in your grip. It's uncomfortable.
The console could be streaming to the screen, and the trackpad in the back could simply mirror it.
From The Dust said:Nintendo copying Sony?
dual analogsFrom The Dust said:Nintendo copying Sony?
Probably not, it's for the 20th anniversay (this year), and Cafe is next year... I just hope it's a unique Wii game like Colors and not a Generation downgrade.AceBandage said:So, Nintendo Power is teasing Sonic Generations for next month.

No, just no. Trackpads have hardly any use for gaming, and it's a massive contradiction to what people have said about the touch screen.corpa said:Here goes an opinion article of a spanish media, that says the feature of the new controller is a trackpad, yes A TRACKPAD like NGP back:

TunaLover said:But that was just doubling a feature created for Nintendo, same as the dual rumble pack.
The NGP's competition i guess.From The Dust said:so:
6" screen
touch-enabled
trackpad
standard dual analog layout
accelerometer/gyroscope
streams games
are we still talking about Nintendo or just the NGP?

480i maximum
NES pad with monochrome screen
GameSpy architecture + friend codes

H_Prestige said:Dual analog gives more possibilities for 3D games than one analog, which is why it is the standard. It absolutely is a new feature and it's silly to try to spin it as otherwise.
Innovation is besides the point anyway. Sony "doubled the feature" well before Nintendo did. It's fair to say Nintendo copied.
Cosmonaut X said:So, what now - a controller with dual analogues, buttons, triggers, wireless, IR sensors of some sort, a screen on the front being fed a stream from the system and a touchpad on the reverse? Plus possibly some kind of gyro/accelerometer setup?
Serious case of blind men and the elephant here, I think...
VisanidethDM said:I know, I know, but it still makes more sense than a touchscreen, and is possibly more economical too.
Raide said:Not sure what to think myself. On the one hand it sounds awesome and utterly new for home consoles, on the other hand do the CoD players Nintendo are trying to get, really care about the advanced controller features?
Virtual Boy also had dual D-pads. It's pretty obviously a direction Nintendo was already headed.TunaLover said:Not really, in Super Mario 64 Nintendo already had a camera system controlled by the C-buttons, kinda like a second stick, so I could say that Sony just replace the C-buttons and put a stick in its place, that's more an improvement, not a creation.

Hope we actually get a detachable screen.
Log4Girlz said:That's an awesome mock-up. What I love most is how practical it is, I mean, no child would ever possibly lose the screen
beelzebozo said:you could make it so the screen emitted a high pitched squeal when detached from the controllers, audible only to dogs and small children. that would solve the problem.

Signs would point to both if anything. Haptic touchscreen on the front, trackpad on the back. Also dual analog, buttons, triggers, camera, IR and motion sensors. And possibly a built in vitality sensor (heart rate and possibly skin conductance monitors). Insanity.VisanidethDM said:I know, I know, but it still makes more sense than a touchscreen, and is possibly more economical too.

Are they teasing E3 stuff for the next issue?AceBandage said:So, Nintendo Power is teasing Sonic Generations for next month.

lunchwithyuzo said:I'm still pulling for the Vitality Sensor. I hope it makes it in the standard controller.
TunaLover said:My uncle that work in Nintendo told me that the screen has two little robotic legs, so it can walk to the main controller when it is lost.

Heart rate would probably be harder to do than skin conductance, but both should be doable. I really hope it'll be included. I love the concept of "passive input".beelzebozo said:you know, i DO love this idea. how hard would it be to put a heart rate monitor in the grips of the controller, at the least? they do this with treadmills and ellipticals and exercise bikes, and i can't imagine the technology is very expensive or large spatially speaking. horror games that could get crazier and crazier as your heart rate went up would be the bomb dizzle. i return again and again to the ETERNAL DARKNESS sequel that does not exist and is without peers in today's gaming climate.
