I asked him to elaborate on what he meant, as Nintendo Global President Satoru Iwata had previously noted in response to people talking about taking the Wii U controller with them to the washroom or bedroom to play might have a difficult time getting that kind of range out of it. So what then does he mean by taking the Wii U experience with you?
Okay, so that I can elaborate on. The Wii U is not a portable handheld device youre going to take with you in transit or into a proximity away from the Wii U console, but you can take content from your console, put it on your Wii U controller, take it with you somewhere else, and be able to upload it. That technology is possible.
I likened it to the Wii Remote, which has a small amount of memory for storing Miis and the like, and he noted it is similar, but thats kind of basic, what you can do with the Wii Remote. Taking a Mii with you is cool and fun, but this has the possibility to do more
not on the go, but once you get somewhere else where you take your stuff to someone elses environment, its definitely possible.
As an example, I put forth the possibility of loading up your team and plays in Madden and taking it to a friends house (who also has a Wii U, of course), and both being able to play from their own controller.
Its hard for us to commit to anything concrete, but yes, its a possibility because the controllers are compatible. Its possible to have that kind of experience.
