After months of speculation regarding the specifics of Nintendo's next console, codenamed Project Cafe, we finally have confirmation as to the nature of the controller.

According to Japanese site Nikkei, Project Cafe's controller will be sporting a six-inch touch screen. It will also come with a built-in camera and rechargeable battery and will allow users tablet-like control of games. The site also stated that the console should drop in mid-2012.

This is only the first of what should be a flood of details coming out of E3 regarding the Wii's successor. More details will most certainly come out of Nintendo's E3 conference Tuesday, so stay tuned to IGN's Wii page for all the latest. In the meantime, refresh yourself on everything we know about Project Cafe..

Now that a touch screen is confirmed for Project Cafe, how do you think Nintendo will use this feature? What information do you expect to come out of their E3 press conference? Let us know in the comments section below!

buying controllers for this system won't be cheap.
 
My guess is that it'll be used to show maps on games and to display items you have equipped like in MK.


The Camera sounds very odd.
 
This almost screams expensive. The tech is cool enough. But it's a sure fire bet that this is going to seriously cost. It will be a miracle if this is even remotely cheap
 
Judging by the amount of features, you could tell that it will be targeting a high-spending gaming community as they have for Wii.
I'm not sure if I will be willing to spend money on this. PSVita (previously NGP) may have better features (I'm not sure if they will feature touchscreen functions), but gaming-wise I'd say other consoles have had a much better track record.
