Why would they do that? Nintendo's already started the next generation of handheld systems, so it would make sense that they would follow up with a Wii successor soon. An upgrade would have made sense a year or two ago, but not now. Besides, a making an upgraded version of a console is very unlike Nintendo.
A lot of it is, I'm sure, but with so many big name sources reporting similar rumors, it's hard to believe that most of what's being said isn't true.
No. This controller would actually have buttons, with a touch screen as well. Think of it as the bottom half of a Nintendo DS/3DS. It's been reported that it will at least have shoulder and trigger buttons, dual analog sticks, and a D-pad, in addition to a 6-inch touch screen that supports streaming content.
Sounds like it's going to be a giant brick of a controller :l

those are exactly my sentimonies.
Yeah, I have no idea how they're going to make a controller with a 6-inch touch screen... I can see a smaller screen working just fine, but 6-inches is huge for a screen on a controller! I can't even imagine what this controller could look like. Maybe the reports of the screen being 6-inches will turn out to be false, or maybe there's something special about the screen or controller that makes its size irrelevant... Who knows. Damn, E3 can't come soon enough!!
cant wait to hear about the nunchuk addon xD
"While still technically a rumor, IGN is essentially claiming as fact that the new screen on the controller is indeed 6 inches wide, and essentially turns the controller into it's own handheld gaming device. They wont name their sources, only that they have personally confirmed the original "rumor". This of course brings up the entire prospect of 3D gaming, something Nintendo has said may not be the right direction for the next console. If there is a 6 inch screen built into the controller, this essentially brings up the prospect of 3D gaming. I couldn't understand the initial reasoning for the screen, but with confirmation games can be streamed from the console to it (meaning, technically, you may not even need a TV to play the system), this brings the prospect of it being a full 3D HD screen to the forefront of my thoughts. More after the jump." ~ZeldaInformer
Controller add-on. Maybe it'll be like the gameboy advance hook-up that you had with the gamecube. That'd be interesting. I rather enjoyed that on Four Swords Adventures (the only game that really utilized it).
