Japanese source Nikkei [registration required], which has correctly predicted numerous Nintendo rollouts in the past, confirms that the next Wii's controller will have a touchscreen with a "size of about 6 inches." Beyond that, the controller will have a camera on board, will give users tablet-like control of games and will be powered by a built-in rechargeable battery.
Nikkei says the next Wii could be released in mid-2012. Although it's being called the Wii 2 across the blogosphere and beyond, Nintendo is still not saying what it has named its next gaming console, code-naming it "Project Café" and saying nothing more than it will be "the successor to the Wii."
That touchscreen controller could be useful. Numerous sites such as IGN predict games will stream directly to that touchscreen, with the controller capable of being used as a wirelessly connected gaming system itself, or to control a game played on a larger screen, or both.
