I freaking hate gameinformer as well. They're all "Metroid Prime sucks because it doesn't controll like a regular FPS."
Perhaps touch screen controllers are possible but not required, maybe a rehash of the gamecube controller (or whatnot) will be used most of the time but a touch screen controller will be given to developers and released as a peripheral like the DK bongos or the power glove. Hopefully if this is the case it won't suck.
