Last month, Nintendo deity Shigeru Miyamoto apparently spoke to US games blog, Kotaku about a popular piece of speculation - that the company was working on ways to exploit the connectivity between DS and Wii. One of the ideas mentioned was for the DS to act as a touch-screen controller for the next-gen console.
Now President Saturo Iwata has confirmed that DS will indeed be a touchy-feely extension for Wii - at least according to Newlaunches.com. Allegedly, the comments were made at a 'management policy meeting' in Tokyo.
Presumably, the DS microphone will also be useable for Wii games. It would be great if this feature could be used in a two-player co-op game, one person on the standard controller, one doing the touching, talking an probably blowing on the other. If anyone can think of a game design to exploit this unlikely scenario it's Nintendo.
