the above is nothing official - it's just IGN's interpretation of the controller, which is a hybrid of the nintendo wii "classic controller pro" with some terrible photoshopping added. it's likely a good basis for what the rumors are speculating, though it does not have a wii-mote / nunchuck aspect to it. that could mean (1) the mockup is terribly wrong (2) the system will not be backwards compatible with wii or (3) the system will have multiple ports for wii controllers and "wii 2" controllers, just as wii had ports for gamecube games.

the dreamcast, way back in the late 90s, had a controller with a screen type feature:



it was terribly awkward, and the screen seemed like more of an after thought (trying to tack on the then-success of tomagotchis).
