I feel relieved by this news. I find touchscreens too imprecise to replace analog sticks and having all the buttons fitted into such small space (a 6" screen seems small even to fit the buttons that the wiimote and nunchuk have).

Now that one enigma is resolved, there are still a lot of them: what will the screen be used for? Which res? The images will be processed by the console or the controller itself?

E3 can't come soon enough.

How about will there be a screen at all?

All the rumors suggest that there will be one, so like it or not, it seems that there will be one.

Personally I still don't have an opinion. When Nintendo explains how and what it'll be used for, then I'll decide if I like it or not.

It's not about "like"; it's about cost. Just because it "seems" like a thing to do doesn't mean it's actually likely, unless the economics somehow allows Nintendo to do it affordably.

I agree with that, but some rumors suggest the console will process the image and the controller will only show them, without any extra hardware, thus lowering the cost.

After all, no one will buy contollers that expensive, look what's happenig with Sony's motion controller.
