Oh! And hey, check out my interview on PixelJumpers...
The Escapist has some Reddit pix up, purporting to be design-scans (from developers toolkits?) of Wii2 (aka Project Cafe, aka "The Stream") controllers that - if real - look an awful lot like my "other" guess at the device's format; name that it'd be essentially the "bottom half" of a 3DS in the button/screen setup.
That's certainly what it looks like, and makes me even more curious if one of the "big reveals" of this machine is going to be that you can actually USE a 3DS in place of a controller. "It's made of stuff you already might have!" strikes me as a very Nintendo-esque marketing theme, and it'd go hand-in-hand with the all-but-innevitable confirmation that it's going to be backwards-compatible with the Wii Remote as well. They would, after all, be INSANE to tell people that all of the plastic attachments they bought for Wii Sports aren't "useful" anymore.
And the countdown to "Skyward Sword will be delayed to be a Wii2 launch-title but don't be mad at us because look! OMG! Smash Bros. 3DS and Raccoon Mario is back!" begins...
