Will Nintendo's 9th Gen Console Have a Gimmick In the Controller?

And besides, what else is there to do? They had motion controls on the Wii, which was the first time they were done right after nearly 20 years of various developers trying and failing to make it work (see the Power Glove, U-Force, and Sega Activator). The Wii U has a touch screen, which is basically incorporating the same tech that was introduced on the DS a decade ago (and touch screen tech is much older than that). What other "innovations" in game controls have been in the works for years or decades that are waiting to be the next method of input on consoles? If there is anything left to "innovate," then let such a gimmick controller be a secondary, optional controller, and have the primary gamepad be one with a conventional, standard design.

 

EDIT: Wait a minute. Why is this thread in the Microsoft Discussion board?

Touch controls on capactive multitouch screens.  Practically unpioneered territory even though they are on billions of devices.  Though that would be far better for their handheld and not a home console.
