The controller hosts a 6.2 inch touch-screen, which can either replicate or supplement the game on-screen. For example: players could use the touchscreen on the controller as an inventory, map of the level, or ammo indicator, while having the television or screen dedicated to the main elements of the game.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the touchscreen, the controller will also feature two analogue sticks, front and rear facing cameras, motion-control abilities and the usual face buttons you\u2019d expect on a modern game controller.<\/p>\n<p>While the gamepad itself is a highlight of Nintendo\u2019s new system, the console is also capable of a lot more than its predecessor. The machine will output graphics in glorious 1080p (which the original Wii was unable to do) and have backwards compatibility with all Wii games, showing that Nintendo is thinking forward, without leaving the past behind.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WITa3fNUOes\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align:
