"When I think about the two screens being used at the same time, it seems like an interesting opportunity to allow us to create a console game where two people are playing at the same time but can't see each others' screens," said Koizumi. "It's certainly an interesting approach, but I have to clarify that it's not something that we're working on just yet."

has two wii-u controllers been confirmed?  i thought nintendo say the wii-u controller will not be sold seperately?

...but i do like the idea if possible.  why do i feel like one of the only guys on this site that actually likes the looks of the controller (minus the analog nubs).  aren't i suppose to be the hater not our resident nintendo fans?

That sounds like either it has been confirmed by that comment, or he is STILL in the dark regarding the system itself, and the specs.  I think two controllers would be ideal for the system.  But do see the 3DS is also going to serve as a controller in some function.
