Nintendo recently commented on Wii U tech demos present at E3 2011, and capabilities of its controller.

 

"Part of the reason that we are talking about these sample games as 'experiences' is because we are introducing a whole new concept," said David Yarnton. "We are trying to give developers an opportunity to see these experiences. We have already talked to a lot of developers and they are coming on board – as you saw with EA in our press conference. All the publishers and developers have seen it but we think there are still things that we haven't realised that it could do."

 

"When we introduced Wii we didn't realise that people were going to be using it in physiotherapy. I'm not suggesting that's the case with Wii U, but there's always people out there who have brilliant ideas and we are simply giving them the palette, paint and easel to create whatever they want. There are many different facets that we haven't even explored ourselves."

 

"We've kept the good bits of the Wii with the motion controllers and the games it can play. There are still a lot of family games available, but we've widened the people. Not forgetting the traditional gamers and fans that we are giving them a lot more, but also not forgetting an expanded audience either."

 

EA thinks that Wii U's controller will greatly benefit FIFA.

Nintendo products are pretty good at tech demos. Wii sports "sold" like 60 million copies.
Plus, the 3DS included tech demos are still some of the best software for the system.
I can't wait to see what gimmicky tech demos are included with the Wii U.
