Wait is this thing motion controlled? I thought/hoped they'd take that much further and create a new controller that read your entire body movements or something. A bit too space aged at this stage, I suppose. But that iPad....er WiiU controller doesn't look like a user-friendly motion controller.
And if so are they just planning to reuse Wii controllers? On one hand that is nice because the Wii controller in an HD system (as Nintendo has proven they're the only company who can consistently produce great motion controls with EA, Activision or someone else getting it right once every two years, it seems) is very cool. At the same time I hear the PS3 knock-off (Cloud or some such nonesense?) is more intuitive. If so, I thought they'd try to push motion controls further.
Honestly, I don't think Wii was a gimmick. It was an innovative system that unfortunately did not have a lot of innovative games on it. But it changed the way people played and perceived games. But this thing looks like Wii HD with a gimmick DS controller. I am reeling from disappointment and I wasn't even following this thing until a week ago.
