Report Confirms Wii 2 Touch Controller

03.06.2011
Japanese business site has confirmed one of the bigger, more persistent rumors about the Wii's successor, the mysterious Project Café. It seems that the new console will indeed be controlled by a device featuring a six-inch touchscreen at its center. The controller will also feature traditional buttons as well as the tablet-style screen.

The controller will also feature a camera which could be used for things such as creating avatars based on players' own faces or augmented reality applications.

According to the report, the controller will also double as an independent portable games system as well as being able to stream media from Project Café to itself.

Nikkei's report claims that the new console could launch as early as "mid-2012," raising questions as to Nintendo's plans for the Wii in the meantime.

All will hopefully be revealed at Nintendo's press conference on Tuesday at 9am Pacific.
