Japanese newspaper Nikkei seems to confirm recent rumors.
The Wii successor will include a touch screen and camera, according to Japanese newspaper Nikkei. No source of the information is given.
Seeming to confirm earlier rumors, the upcoming system's controller is said to include a six-inch touch screen, which will allow players to use touch controls to manipulate characters seen on the television screen. It can also be used as a portable game controller, independent of the television.
The included camera can be used to take pictures of players to be used as avatars in-game.
The controller will also include a built-in rechargeable battery.
Nintendo is set to reveal the system, codenamed Project Café, at E3 next Tuesday. According to Nikkei, the system will launch in mid-2012.
