Rumor: Wii 2's Controller Will Feature Front-Facing Camera

So at some point we're just gonna break down and speculate that the next wii controller is an iPhone right?

Of course not. The new controller will have buttons.

So... Nintendo is making it's new controllers cost as much as a regular DSi... as if the Wiimotes weren't that expensive already...

My wallet is worried.

Although, maybe they can follow what Sega did with their VMU's for the Dreamcast (google it if you don't know what are those), maybe we can play a bunch of mini games on the go, or even play that same game on the go and continue playing when we get at home.

Yes indeed, my wallet is worried.

This makes me worry, about just how much these controllers are going to cost...

I'm not up for £80 a pad.

If they in fact include a touchscreen AND camera, we're looking at $99 at the absolute lowest IF they sell every one at a loss. This is kinda goodish news, because the pricier they are, the more likely Nintendo is to offer a DS/DSI/3DS as wii2 controller option. The big sticking point for this theory is the lack of dual analogs on the 3DS and the lack on ANY analogs on the DS/DSI . . .
