Wanna see the leaked Wii-U Rayman Legends video...

Nor a fan of the nfc ****. Touch screen could add a lot to games though. Looking forward to no clutter on the main screen such as health bars, ammo, equipment, maps etc.
 
Looks weird, so you can use the wii motes as a control pad? Intresting. That pad will be useless for any length of gaming.
 
I'm with Jase on this the game looked good but not sure about the Wii U controller but was keen to see you could use the Wii remotes. At the moment Nintendo need to do more to me to prove the controller not just one big gimmick. Something that would help with this is a game like Aliens, with the screen on the controller being the motion tracker. That way moving your eyes away from the TV screen would add to the game rather than be an inconvenience.

I fail to see whats wrong with the pad. So many gaming possibilities and interface design that can be used. This could lead to more different game play styles and options. I guess you just need to look outside the box for a while.

If someone doesn't start to innovate, then the whole market will just grow stale. I.E. there's just too many FPS's out there now, the market is saturated :(
 
Sorry but for me a bigger control pad where I have to look away from the screen to do simple stuff that was much easier to do on the main screen...is not innovation.

You don't have to look at the tablet screen. I guess simple actions map to buttons would behave in the same manor as any regular controller.

Now, when I think of the tablet controller, im thinking:

Formula F1 : the tablet is used as the steering wheel. The tablet display displays the steering wheel, and all the steering wheel controls. Just like a real one does. Also, can be used to display race data.

RTS : the tablet screen could be used as an extended UI. With the pen used like a mouse to select and command the units on the big screen. Just like C&C.

Multi-player fun : Say that you are playing with friends. Your friends with Wii controllers can play against you (you have the tablet pad). You get the advantage of a unique view to aid you. Whilst you friends can only see whats on the big screen. Assist your friends using the tablet to control the game world (as in the video).

Battlefield 3 : You see the main tank view on the big screen. Hold the tablet controller up, and it becomes the turret view screen, independent of the main big screen view. You can still control the tank from the tablet, whilst aiming the gun else where. Likewise, the flying missions could have the main view on the big screen and the tablet could be used for the ground target laser view for bombing runs.

Not forgetting that the tablet can be used for playing games, when the big telly is out of use.

Its quite easy to see how this tablet could be used to enhance and introduce new game play ideas.
