How could people still not buy it. The controller screen and the Cafe name are literally the only two things that every single source has agreed on, and Cafe has pretty much been confirmed as true.
I mean. I don't know. It's just logic. A large number of people come out on the same day and claim to have inside knowledge that Nintendo's gonna announce their new console soon, its codename is Cafe, and it's going to have a 6 inch touch screen on the controller. A few days later, Nintendo announces that they're working on a new console and will show it off at E3; a few days after that, someone finds a picture on an official Nintendo site referring to the Nintendo Cafe. Therefore, if A, B, and C are all tightly intertwined rumors, and both A and B are confirmed, why could somebody continue to insist that, hold on guys, maybe C isn't true! Okay, maybe. Nothing's ever truly 100%. But I think in this situation, the chance that there's truth to it is far greater than the chance that a bunch of sources all got together and decided they wanted to troll the internet by making up some bullshit and "leaking" it on the same day.
Now, maybe it's far different than anything anyone here has put forward. But the chances are, like, 90+% that it'll have a touch screen on the controller in some way or another.

I'm a firm believer of the vertical screen. I'm thinking Nintendo would be going the route of the slate, as in something you can leave on the coffee table and quickly pick up and check out. The vertical screen allows the user to hold the controller sideways and use their thumbs to control the game like iphone/android games. The vertical screen also allows the controller not to be massive horizontally like the NGP. Here's a quick mockup I made.
It doesn't have to be a circle, but my guess for the next controller is something flat similar to a tablet/smartphone without being a phone and all the processing done by the console.

ESPECIALLY since it fits their past design choices. Before the Wii had motion controls, we had WarioWare Twisted and Kirby Tilt 'N Tumble. Before the DS had two screens, they had Game & Watch. Nintendo always bases their "gimmicks" off of their old ideas. And we've seen screen controllers from Nintendo in Four Swords Adventures and Crystal Chronicles. And it was a flop because you needed four handhelds, four cables... I could easily see Miyamoto thinking "I still like that concept. Could we do that better?" Because they've done exactly that several times now.KevinCow said:
Between this and multiple sources saying it, yeah, I'm inclined to believe this is extremely likely to happen.

That's what the rumors are saying, yeah. Basically an iPod Touch mixed with a 360/PS3 controller.jetjevons said:

Here's my quick concept idea for the controller.
Picture 1- The top 3DS screen attached to a wireless Classic Controller Pro.
Picture 2- The screen can fold down on top of the buttons to make it compact.
Picture 3- The controller also can separate from the screen, and also separates in half for 2 handed motion controls, like the Wii nunchuck/remote combo.
Also, this was a supposed leak of the controller from that 1up project cafe article. -
IGN put up an article with some reader mock ups.

Why do IGN readers suck at making mock ups? Most of those are waaay less interesting than the ones in this very thread.

Looks too much like a PS2 to me.
Otherwise, I dig the classic tone.

I like the system. Quite slick, yet a bit industrial like the 3ds.

IGN's sources said it would look like a modern version of the Super Nintendo, right?
What if they've been working on it since the Super NES era? Maybe....

I'm more concerned with the pure unfiltered uber-awesomeness being radiated from the console itself.rpmurphy said:

It's a great looking mockup (console-wise....that controller is something else--not that I'm saying my gag mockup is anything special), but it would probably need more ventilation than the SNES had if it's going to be a high end piece of kit.

Orioto: do you have a thought of what their next console should look like?

I think the idea is it will work however each game wants it to work, and no doubt some games won't use it for anything interesting whatsoever.
MMOs and other complex interface games could be supported in a similar way to the Razer Switchblade, although that's a pretty boring idea and essentially just a high tech version of putting paper overlays on the Jaguar Joypad.

I like this idea best, but I don't see why the left part would need to break off. Let's just hold the screen on the left side with the help of the weighty, ergonomically evolved left-nunchuk, and do what we need to do with our right hand:Luigison said:Along the lines of my original idea.

- touch screen with fingers
- break off the right piece to either use it like standard Wii Remote Plus or to use as stylus on the screen
There's no need to break apart the left nunchuk from the screen is there?

its a controller, not a megazord.
it won't be built to come apart. there is no way they would ever risk the screen dropping out of that setup (which would easily be the heaviest portion)

No, why should i ?
I jut think a pad with a screen is lame. I would go for the tablet like one :
Cause at least the idea of having a real big home portable device connected to a console makes sense to me and it's design. But it would have to be big enough to replace the tv.

you guys really need to not get hung up on things like hinges or sliding or detachable parts.
preach to me all you want about that limiting creativity/imagination but there isnt a cold chance in hell that they would do that in a controller. the only parts that are going to move are the sticks, buttons, and triggers.

Except technically the Wii Remote and nunchuk were detachable, among others...JohnTinker said:

And they had a 6" screen, right?

Aren't large square-shaped controllers uncomfortable to hold? I mean, at least the Famicom/NES controllers were small.

This concept works both as a wand like free dgrees of freedome controller and as a two handed SNES like controller. It could have buttons but it was in the vein of the free from patent.I totally ignored the screen part (because I don't buy it), but I had to do my take :3
The bottom thing is the player indicator light.
Can you guess where each part came from?

To be fair though, some are pretty much spot on in hindsight.
And still lol worthy.
