I thought the tablet idea was far too clunky of a design for Nintendo's tastes. Of course this STILL raises questions about what the hell they're doing.

Virtual Boy 2.0.  This time with a Powerglove attachment.

no buttons would suck, well I guess I haven't played kincet yet so i can't say for sure if no buttons would be bad, but just a touch screen would be annoying - i know that for sure

This is kinda true.  As much as DS was a good idea and I liked the touch screen, most of the games that used nothing but the touch screen were annoying.  I mean, just look what it did to Zelda.

About the only games I could say were good that utilized only the touch screen was Kirby's Canvas Curse, Warioware Touched and Osu! Tadakae! Ouendan!  And ironically, they were out in the first year of the DS.

There were alot of other good games that implemented the touch screen control really well like professor layton, but I'm glad they are sticking with more traditional controller. as for a screen on the controller itself, I think it would work if the screen was like the ds, a small screen providing key information or inventory controls in real time without having to pause the game.
