Yet another Wii successor rumor: Touch capability for controller

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 0 comments

Talk around the web suggests, unsurprisingly, that the controller for Nintendo’s next console will be very original. CVG’s sources believe it will feature an HD screen. Now IGN has offered a rumor of their own, saying that the controller even has touch capability.

“A report from CVG states the new Nintendo console will use an all-new controller – not an updated Wii controller – with sources saying it will have a built-in screen. Additional sources informed IGN the screen has touch capability.”

You really have to wonder how much of what we’ve been hearing is true, and what aspects are false. It’s a shame that E3 is so far away…
