I can see lots of potential in the screen+controller. Did anyone play pacman Vs or whatever it was called. Or imagine a dungeon master type game with one person playing the dungeon master and the others playing through co-op on the big screen. Single player, less so, but even if it's just used for maps/inventories etc would still be useful. Whether it's enough to justify a purchase for a core gamer is another matter, depends on when the true next gen starts. |

Looks terrible. So the guy playing the 'catch' game has to use the screen on the controller than the TV? may as well have just made the controller the console instead of through the TV and call it a Nintendo DSu The dreamcast had a similar idea with stats showing up on the lcd screen on the controller for stats and whatever in games but how many people look down at that while playing - I never did so it was a useless feature. Looks cheap and uncomfortable the controller, still catering to the kiddie market with these type of games too.. |

Only one controller compatible apparently......as in only one of the controllers with the screens are compatible per Wii U. So playing local games would mean there is only one player able to have the specific Wii U controller and the rest have classic controllers. Reason being, the power needed for the Wii U to simultaneously stream 4 different videos with different requirements would be quiet demanding Read on for further details |

That's a pure speculation piece, and not a very well thought out one. These things don't need to be running a full game on each controller. None of the things I mentioned require much extra juice at all. The Dreamcast did it (though with much simpler screens) 10 years ago so I don't see why people would think it's such a big deal now. The main action will always be on the big screen. These controller are still going to cost a ton each though. Looks to me like they were determined to be able to let you draw on them with the stylus. Gimmick feature at best and if they dropped the idea they they could have come up with something a bit more comfortable looking and no doubt better value. |

Miyamato has said it's one controller per unit, but they're investigating the possibility of two. |

But there seems to be some confusion around whether it supports one controller or it comes with one controller. I've seen conflicting reports and interpretations. Nintendo have done a really shit job of explaining this thing. If it's one controller, that's fucking pointless and horribly designed. I went from hugely keen to massively over it in the matter of one little conference. Well done Nintendo. |

Have a read of this. My interpretation is that as things currently stand it can only handle one controller, but they're still looking into whether two may be possible (ie, final console spec may be slightly different, or they my find some way of making whatever the bottleneck is more efficient, whether it's the streaming or the power use) http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-06-09-only-one-wii-u-controller-per-console |

Dear God.... What's the point then? Do THEY even know??? I'm done with them already. If they're fucking up and talking shit this early it has no hope. Given that I won't be touching another MS console either, I can't believe that leaves me with just Sony. The Sega fanboy in me is crying. I'm gonna go hug my Saturn.... |

I know. It seems a bit retarded and very limiting. Having said that though, part of me wonders how much of a difference it will make "in real life", chances are that most of the time for 'core' games you'd be playing solo or online for multi anyway; removes the possibility of proper split screen though in core games (ie, if they're designed around the controllers screen) and given ninty's poor showing with online so far, it's a bit of a worry. |

Watch a friend play online is an awesome feature IMO. Quick jump in jump out viewing would be awesome for those moments where you discover something awesome or hilarious in a game and want to share it. Also a good way to get people into games you might be playing. Notice a game someones playing that you haven't got yet, jump in and check it out and see if its any good ect |

It could be interesting but will it result in lag for the person playing? |

That sort of functionality has actually been a standard practice in IT since the very beginning. If anyone uses it at work currently, it would be a very basic version of Citrix, essentially. Bandwidth? If you're playing online as you're sharing the screen, then pre-NBN I'd say the screen refresh wouldn't be crash hot for the person watching, but otherwise it shouldn't be bad at all. My concern would be more around the extra memory that it's likely to use on the host machine. They may be able to minimise the usage, but that's where the performance hit is likely to come from. |

I think this sort of stuff is what the industry needs. Good job Nintendo, now all you need is more than one good game a year. |
