As for the latest round of tech that we do know about, Yerli may not be particularly taken with the PlayStation Vita (Jones is more diplomatic, and says Crytek will work with the machine when the timing is right and the interest from licensees is significant) but he's excited about the Nintedo Wii U.
The specs are very good," Yerli enthuses.
"It's a challenge for designers, but once thought through it can add value, and that's what ultimately important. Our guys in Nottingham they are very happy with their tests on the dev kits and they're excited about it."
Looks like Nintendo has hired the ex-Director of Technology from Crytek to do some Software Engineering for what I can only assume is the Wii U

I expect to be impressed Nintendo. Do Not disappoint.
What does this mean? It means that Nintendo more than likely has a somewhat close relationship with Crytek now, possibly very close.
Nintendo also has a really close relationship with AMD and we all know that Crytek and AMD are fairly close too. so what does this all mean and what am I getting at?
What I am getting at is GDC 2012.
Nintendo, AMD & Crytek all have a booth next to each other and both Nintendo& AMD's booths is larger than it was last year, so surely they are ready to show what they have been working on.
There are whispers that Crytek is ready to show off what they've been cooking and Reggie did promise us more Wii U news before E3.
But what really brings all of this together is the positioning of their booths at this years GDC.
I'm sure that the repositioning of their booths this year is no coincidence. They formed this TriForce on purpose and I'm sure that we will see (or hear *damn NDA's and closed door showings*) why on March 5-9.
Less than 22 days and counting till GDC 2012.
that is 3 weeks from tomorrow.
