What do you guys think? Will the wii-mote styled controllers be back for their new console or do you think Nintendo will take a more classic approach?

Rumors are pretty rampant suggesting there will be a touch screen on the controller. So I do believe it will be a standard controller with a touch screen. There might also be a camera, and there will probably be some motion sensors.
But I do not think the Wiimote is going to be abandoned. Rumors also suggest the Wiimote will be fully compatible. As such I expect there will be some applications which will mainly use the Wiimote, because of its split handed style and IR control it has advantages over a standard controller.
Much like Move and Kinect, I think from here on out we're going to see a dual standard for control schemes on consoles. And, hell, I wouldn't mind if consoles adopted universal keyboard and mouse controls too. MS and Sony are only a half a step away, anyway, because they promote their consoles as do-it-all devices, and a keyboard works best for web browsing.

Project Cafe is supposed to be backwards compatible so the Wii Mote should still be used I think. Like cusideabelincoln posted, there's supposedly going to be a more traditional controller but with a screen and possibly some type of motion sensor input comparable to SIXAXIS. Hopefully, the Virtual Console and Wii Ware titles can be transferred over which would hopefully mean that we can still utilize the Classic Controller too.
On a more personal note, I wouldn't mind it if the controller screen were used for things like displaying maps or inventory screens so that the tv image doesn't get overcrowded. That, in itself, would be kind of revolutionary if you discount handhelds (DS) and some of the half-hearted attempts made by the Dreamcast back in the day.

I'd like to see a controller with the touch screen. could be implemented well.
On the other hand, I shudder at the cost of those controllers.
