New details on Wii U controller arise |
Listed in: News Tags: Nintendo, North America
New details regarding Wii U controller functionality have been revealed.
This information comes courtesy of a Nintendo of Canada representative.
"...not every game will necessarily have the focal point as the Wii U controller. It's new technology, it's a new way to play, but it doesn't have to be the focal point. we know that there are a lot of misconceptions about Wii U; the majority of the population wasn't at E3, and didn't get a chance to actually have hands-on, so the reality about what Wii U is going to do is that it's going to change the dynamic of what happens in your living room, or wherever your TV is. The dynamic of that room is going to change, and it's going to be Wii U technology that does it," the rep said.
"Having this controller that offers a different perspective, or a complementary perspective, or being able to take content off the TV when other people want to use the TV for something else. It keeps people in the room together, either all playing together or doing different things, but they're all kind of connected in a slightly different way than what's possible right now."
"And so changing the dynamic of that TV room space is what Wii U is going to do. That's a pretty philosophical way to look at it, but you saw only what was potential at E3, and that's... well, the whole thing is philosophical right now, although it's a tangible piece of hardware, and an accessory."
EA doesn't think that Wii U will be a stop-gap console.

No joke! Just look at most of the trolls on this site alone. For example, you have people like the anon user "sucks" who talks about how he'll never play a WiiU game because the person with the new controller will have an advantage over everyone else??? Pure ignorance.
There's going to be a lot of people eating a lot of crow when the WiiU comes out.

Let's put it like this. You say the WiiU controller is so great compared to the Wii's controller, yet you say there will be no difference in the way people use it in regards to multiplayer??
Dude, you've got some very disturbing train of thought.
It's either better than the Wii controller, or it's not. You can't pick and choose when to use that logic. It's a fact that is bad or good depending on the situation. Whenever the situation makes it a bad factor, you ignore it as a concept.
That's the definition or either a fanboy or retard. You're not a retard. So... What does that leave?

Nope, I never said that. But it's understandable that you could take ANYTHING I say and utterly screw it up.
The problem here is, you're full of ignorance about this new system. MY guess is, you've never even used it or played it. The only thing you know about it is what you've MISREAD on the internet. The WiiU will continue to use the older motion controllers. The NEW controller will be used in an appropriate manor in a whole new way. Why you can't understand that is beyond me.

Unless it brings something new other than better graphics and Nintendo-brand games, I'm not interested.

I can't comment on little kid hands but it felt fine in all the hands of people who were asked within my earshot.
